I will start this by telling you all that at our Scheels employees can't have a crack at used guns until they have been on the floor 90 days (you can imagine most don't make that). In the last month or so I have lusted in my heart twice and stand here a broken man ![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
First, about a month ago we bought a Sig 2009 from a guy. I was astounded at how low the blue book value on the gun was considering it was in at least 90% condition and came with FIVE magazines.......listed for $299.99. I beg and pleaded for them to take my money. No dice. Amazingly, just to taunt me, it lasted 3 weeks![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Yesterday, fairly close to closing, our rifle manager pulls a couple of preowned guns from upstairs. First was not really my bag but a decent set up. A Marlin 336 30-30 topped with a Maven scope for $599.99. Next was the dagger.....a Model 70 featherweight in 270 with beautiful wood and checkering topped with a VariX 3 for.....$349.99. Nothing I need by any stretch but DAMN!! It was 5 minutes to close and the last customer was at the counter taking the 2 handguns he had purchased and he saw the tag on the gun as it came out. That gun didn't make it to the rack
Sometimes it is just painful![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
