In the his post... The prices he listed to explaine the high cost of antiques.
He can charge what he likes. I could care less... That's between him and his customers. Selling 20 1892s is pretty impressive, how come he's not a dealer?
I'm just chatting about the high cost of antiques.

if people are buying his guns , are his prices really high ?
it is not like he has a large volume of them to draw on , but in fact a very limited amount , and once they are gone , there may be no more for a long while .
and like what was mentioned earlier , you are buying a legal shooter with minimal paper work ....... no att's no rpal's no making sure are your ducks are in line ... all the t's crossed and i's dotted just so you can legally pack a handgun in the bush .
what you trade in lack of paper work you gain in possible unreliabilty of a old firearm .
many people will pay a premuim to make sure it is reliable , thus the so called " high prices " .
Ok, it's clear some didn't understand the intent of that post...
I wasn't talking about his guns in the ee. I was talking about his list of prices in this thread. He has parts listed in the ee for less than his post in this thread. It seems strange to me... Eh, what do I know?

Oh, I checked. Back to your habit of changing your posts when you get called on it?
I don't care about your guns. I'm not the "complete duraCoat restoration" kinda guy...People can pay what they wish. If people would do just a little research they would find importing an antique isn't that difficult.
I understand why people are willing to pay a premium. It's no sweat off my back, I'm the kind of guy that still changes his own oil.
The last gun show I was at there were some real dirt balls with absurdly high prices taking advantage of new guys. I find the Internets greatest power is the free trade of information. If I can help a new guy learn its up to me. I just hate gun show chicken hawks burning newbies....

if you think i charge way too much why did you buy them antique guns off me? (your old CGN name that got the ban hammer)
Not hard to know who is was seeing i seen you selling em...
Unless the guy i am thinking of sold them to you...
Starpuss prices on his parts are all very fair and really a good deal consideing Numrich charges a min of $25 shipping even if you buy just a $5 part to ship it to Canada.
I think there shipping just went up to and there the only place i know of to buy 1892 colt parts that or colt parts.
Im glad he has this stuff so i dont need to deal with 4 week wait period on parts.
I was gona buy a 1892 hand off him but because i sent him a picture of my hand he told me i didnt need a new one and he was right.
This calling Down people on here is getting old if you dont want to buy stuff in the EE risk your own money and import it yourself.
Once again, I wasn't talking about his ee prices.
I was referring to the list of prices he listed in this thread.

you had them on the EE forsale maybe the last ones you sold?? But maybe you got them off the guy i sold them to. i have it marked down somwhere. one was a pinfire other was a 32
did your old CGN name start with T?
Yes he list NEW priced parts in one post which are more than used parts which he sells and listed in another post.
I bought a hand from numrich and a webley latch screw both showed up rusted both were old used parts.
i was not impressed.
Its the same old thing some members not understanding shooter grade guns from collectable antiques on here.

Well the last guns you sold on the EE i had. And i remeber i sold both of them to the same guy. So you must of got them off the EE then.
Are we talking antique handguns? I haven't bought a pinfire here, or a .32 for that matter. Most .32s aren't antique... Most.
Look, I really don't care how much you sell for... It's not my business. I'm just trying to point guys in the right direction. It's not hard to import. Very little risk.
