Did that on a truck once. I was looking at new ones and got to dickering back and forth with the salesman, no intention whatsoever to buy. He named a good price and I came back with what I thought was rediculously lowball and damned if he didn't take it. Well, ya makes yer talk and ya abide by it. Now I was stuck with two trucks. I advertised the old one and sold it. Good lesson in keeping your trap shut.
The photos are a rifle I won on Gunbroker last night. The 404 on an Enfield does sound like a great combo.
This from the Great Gun Trader. Suuuure.
Especially when it comes to nice rifles.
Tell me it wasn’t the FN Mauser in .358 Norma Magnum. The rifle that would be a perfect companion to my Remington Model 30 Express in .358 Norma Magnum. I liked that rifle, but hesitated too long.Well, I have only ever bid on auction on one rifle in my life, with success as you know.
But I must admit it was a bit strange to contemplate the expenditure of such a sum without physically inspecting myself the rifle and having been brought to consider this beauty by AH forum member @rookhawk, who I had never met in real life!
I did my due diligence of course, looking at current prices and estimates for recreating such a rifle new, as well as the budget I could make available. And for the inspection part I used an intermediate to inspect in my stead.
No regrets so far though, as it was a well contemplated decision from my side. I allowed my rational side, without too much looking at the emotional final price tag, which I use daily in my work to make the decision for me. It worked out
