Good Retort to Low-Ballers
A family member has been an FFL & 'smith for 40+ years & has a foolproof way to shut up the low-ballers.
Lowballer at a gun show tried to tell him his $500-600 price on a nice S&W revolver (I forget the model & cal, but it was from the late 60's-early 70's) The gun was LNIB, the model, caliber & length were desirable, and the price was at the low end of what the same gun was SELLING for on Gunbroker. Lowballer said the price was way too high, and that that gun could be bought & sold all day long for $300 in Spokane.
Family Member rolled out 12 $100 bills on the table, held them out and told the Lowballer to go buy 4 of them, bring back 3, and that Lowballer could keep one for himself.
Shuts them up fast, and they never return to his tables unless it's with a realistic offer.
