Valuation Threads --- A mixed blessing?

[Gambo]

Ask him if he'll let you take it on trial for few days, take it into the gunshop and ask them what its worth.

He may be pissed off but at least you'll have made your point!

He`s a tight old git, who won`t let anything out of his grip unless You have paid for it, so while You have a good suggestion, it would not work.
After seeing my truly mint Super Tornado, he knows only too well that his gun is not mint, or fairly priced. It is now a case of him being bloody minded and stubburn, and not wanting to lose face over the deal!!!
