As I've mentioned a few times in past threads, for the past year I've been working on a website for a friend's gun shop. The site keeps growing, and the number of hours I've been putting in can be measured in the hundreds.
At the outset, I offered to do a site for him as a favor. Now that he's added pages and the time involved is so great, he's said that he has to find a way to reimburse me. I told him a Kimber Eclipse Target would be a good trade (even with that, he'd be getting a great deal). But this summer has been slow for business, and the site isn't at the point yet where it's generating money for him. So the Kimber will have to wait for a bit.
The other day, though, a Spanish-made, wood-stocked CETME on his wall caught my eye. It's a consignment, with a tag of a bit over $400 on it (my friend gets 20% on consignments). I know that's high for the rifle, but it's something that would be fun to shoot. Besides, I've never owned one.
So, would you grab the CETME now, or wait for a more expensive gun? Or would you try to get both out of the deal? (I know the latter is the obvious answer, but may not be realistic).
