I know there are a lot of you out there who narrowly missed a chance on a great buy. Lets hear some sob stories. Ill start.
When I was 18 and still living at home my friend called me up one morning and asked if I wanted to go to a pawn shop he heard of that had a lot of good used guitars. I was getting paid that night and wanted to see if I could find something to blow my paycheck on. We get to the shop and tucked away in a little corner ( the owner wasnt very pro gun) were about ten rifles. I asked to look at a beautifull custom made rifle. It had some sort of tactical OD stock with adjustable length and check pad hieght. It looked like a Rem. 700 action with a fluted bull barrel that was about 24in. It was chambered in .25-06 and had a very nice looking scope ( probably a Leopold). It looked in very good condition and he when I asked how much he said "395.00". I nearly fell over dead. I quicky drove to my work, and pleaded my manager to give me my check before 5 o'clock. Being only noon, he said that was way to early. I finally convinced him at 4:30 to give me my check and by the time I got back to the shop, the rifle was gone.
I found out later that the original owner had put the rifle as colateral for a 200 dollar loan and didnt re-pay it.
