Missed a good deal at gunshow

[NYRebel13]

I just missed one heck of a deal at a gunshow today.  Guy had a pardner shotgun with 32" 12 gauge barrel, 20 gauge barrel and .410 barrel for $225.  He was going to give me $100 for the old shotgun I had to trade.  I told him I would think about it (I have no idea why) and I went down the aisle to discuss the deal with my cousin.  When we made our way back over there is was gone.  I am still kicking myself.  I did end up selling the shotgun for $100 to another dealer.  First time I came home from a gunshow with more then I went with.  Neither one of us bought anything.  Ended up buying a old Mossberg pump when I got home....except for selling my gun that was a wasted 2 hr drive.

I think the expression "He who hesitates is lost" applies here - been there-done that.

That's why when a guy offered to sell me  his unused and unfired .223 Handi Rifle with a bull barrel, plus a 12 ga barrel, plus an NCStar illuminated rangefinder 3-9X40 scope all for $125, I jumped on it so fast to make sure he didn't change his mind. Heck, I see used 12 ga barrels being sold in our classifieds for that much around here. This gun is pristine!

I guess it is kind of working out missing out on that deal.  I got that Mossberg pump to put my short barrel on and I found a used 20 gauge pardner for $71 that I am going to pick up next week.  For both I am not spending any more than the one I missed out on would have cost me because I sold my other shotgun at the show for what the old guy offered me with the deal.  If I had picked up that deal the .410 barrel would have been sold and the 12 gauge barrel would have been sold or cut.
