3 guns you wished you'd not sold-on...

[bootneckbob]

The three I've sold and regretted I've bought back again.

Sold Steyr LG110 in favour of a Daystate Grand Prix. Eventually went back to the Steyr although I did like the GP.
Sold Walther LP400 in favour or Steyr Evo E. Have just bought another LP400 last week. Have both now. (One will have to go...)
My first air rifle, a BSA Mercury Challenger (aged 14). Sold or traded that in for an Air Arms Firepower (still around 14). I managed to aquire a boxed like new BSA Mercury Challenger a few years back and more recently an AA Firepower too.

Had a few airguns but only the one pertinent here.

In 1992 a work-mate bought a new HW45 in 22. I had a play with it and liked it a lot. Not long afterward he decided he wanted money more than he wanted the gun. I said I lived close to a gun shop and that they might buy it. I was very surprised at the their offer. He accepted. I made sure to give him the reciept along with the cash to make sure he knew I wasn't creaming anything off.

That's the nature of retail sales. It can't work any other way and still survive.

I made the decision not to buy it because - how could I have bought it from him at that price without a proof of how low a price had been offered?

That was then. I would handle it differently now. Except that it wouldn't happen that way now anyway because of the internet.

My recently bought used HW45 cost me a LOT more than that price, even allowing for inflation!
