This one intrigues me

I could always strip it down and refinish it

I love those .32 hand ejectors. That round is just plain fun to shoot and easy to cheaply reload. If there's little to no exterior pitting and the wear is from honest use, I wouldn't even refinish it.

WOW!

I'd definitely want to see the bore, but for $300?? Where you going to find that kind of quality and class for than kind of money for ANYTHING these days?

Yeah, I'd pick up an extra set of dies and scrounge brass for something like that. I have two moulds that would work just fine in it.

Hard to find a deal at Hyatt's these days. But that doesn't seem too bad.

Sorry to hear that. I have bought several guns from them and have one on layaway right now

If I get to talk to Larry I can do alright, but I believe his sales people are on commission, so it's understandably in their best interest to make as much money as they can. We've (family) bought guns from them back to the 60's.

There's occasionally good deals at Hyatt, but usually they are high. I do buy a lot of powder and primers there.

Well, if YOU were the one who bought that - THANK YOU!

Not much turns my head these days.  I have all I need and most of what I want, but that little gem got under my skin and would have perverted my whole plan of limiting the number of mouths I have to feed, moulds and sets of dies to maintain, brass to find, etc.

Sure would be a neat little cast-bullet "trail gun" though.

Wasn’t me. After the Model 16 I decided to hold off. But still……….

Someone ELSE saved us both some money.

Here is my experience in commission sales:

As expected, the standard experience is selling an item for X. You generally begin by making a good first impression on the customer, matching them with a product that meets their needs, overcoming any possible objection to the sale (the specimen, the price,etc.), and finally you must close the deal. For all of this, you earn your commission on X.

Under some circumstances, you have a buyers market. This could occur for any number of reasons, for example, excess supply. Under these circumstances, the amount and quality of salesmanship required to close a deal can approach zero.

Let’s say you are working on 10% commission. Do you think you would make more money selling Freedom Arms at $3,000 each or your salesman associate if the store owner gave him permission to sell Glock 19s at $299?
