All three guns were probably worth well over $1500 and depending on the 25, maybe much more. Sucks to hear.

Your friend should tell his idiot wife about the extra money they didn't make that he would have otherwise used to buy her something nice. Serves her right.

I believe the appropriate word is "Pwned"

friend's wife blows it, ARRRRG

That just doesn't sound right...



... in either case, she took it in the face

[Rascal]

You really need to tell her how much money she LOST on that transaction, because of her convictions. Rub it in good.

And the friend took it in the butt cause he GOT SCREWED by his wife

I had a similar situation once....

my dad mentioned his friend had a WWII rifle he wanted to get rid of because he needed cash for christmas, my dad asked if i'd like it for christmas.

before my dad could run over to him to get it he told my dad he had taken it to a gunshop and they gave him $1,000 for it.

To this day i wonder what a gunshop would hand out 1k cash for to a guy that knew nothing about what he owned....must have been somthing really nice.

I do however know this friend has pictures of his dad from WWII holding a BAR, and well my guess is that it was an original BAR as it was a gun passed on from his dad.

That's what Pawn shops and some Gun shops do.
Wait for someone that don't know what the idem is worth.
I have been in both when it's happened.
And RIP them off.

is she a relative of Miss South Carolina?

btw, why do ppl still visit pawn shops? is this 1907?

[donger]

He should pimp her out and demand she come back with a couple grand before the nights over!

Kidding.

[chickenfried]

It's common sense to find out the value of something before you run off and sell it. If people don't do that oh well. Wouldn't exactly call it a rip off.

And RIP them off.

I worked in a guitar store for awhile. One Saturday this guy comes in with an amazing 59 Fender Strat. The thing looked brand new. He wanted $300 for rent money. For a second I considered taking it and running, but that darn little voice told me no. I told him what he actually had and a ballpark price of what it was worth and sent him to a collector in Frisco. Sometimes I regret not giving the guy the $300, but then again I still can sleep well at night.

I have a hard time with people who screw other people for the hell of it. I wonder how they live with themselves.

You DO know some pawn shops are actually gun shops with FFLs? Although most pawn shops don't advertise that. I've caught a few on gunbroker. Odd to find guns being sold in south central LA saying they are an FFL considering I thought I found all the FFLs in a 10 mile radius.
