[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 491086, member: 505"] Highridge I reallized where you are located. You're right in our country deals are hard to come by but do happen. I have family back east and in the big cities deals can be had. I just got three mk5 synthetics at a small town wall mart back east while visiting for christmas. They had them on clearance for over two years and couldn't sell them. I started to buy them last year but didn't so this year when they were still there I went in and talked to the manager about dumping the worthless wby's he couldn't sell. They had marked them to $400 or so and I offered him $1000 for the three he had so he could get them off the books and have some cash flow out of them. He thought about it while I shopped and later came and got me and said those things have been there for nearly four years and he had no takers so he accepted my offer. I went by a garage sell one morning back east and ask the little old lady if she had any guns to sell. She said her late husband had a few and she carried me inside to look. I immediately noticed a German made MK 5 in mint condition and ask what she wanted for it. She said she thought it should be worth at least $300. I pulled out three $100 bills and thanked her. Just got to keep your eyes open and be willing to deal. But where we live away from the big cities I agree with you deals are hard to come by. I can go on and on just on deals the past three or so years. Last year my brother found a Z6 Swarovski 3-18 or so power scope at a small town pawn shop. He dickered with them for about a week and ended up getting it for $500 like new. [/QUOTE]
