...out of that box of miscellaneous holsters, magazines, grips, etc in the gun shop?

I picked up an obsolete box of ammo for $5 and sold it here for $28 last year. You just never know what you might find in the miscellaneous box. Does your favorite gunshop have one?

    Yeah, my favorite gunstore in a city just north of you has one. Most recently, I was browsing among expensive Galco's, for my new Berretta .40. A buddy looked briefly in the odds 'n' ends box and came out with a $15 Galco which had been made for the Berretta.

    Best I ever did was at an ESTATE SALE, picked up an old cookie tin that was rusted shut, but had someting in it, I inquired about it and the person holding the sale told me they didnt get it open, so I ask how much, and was told 2 bucks, so I took a chance, got it home opened it up and walla! It was about half full of Old Dental Bridges made of Gold, All of the old teeth had been removed and all that was left was a bunch of gold, Took it to a shop and got 1200 bucks for it.

    My favorite shop has such a box, and a lot of people bring in stuff they run across after a relative's death. A lot of ammo comes in as they are asking the shop to dispose of it for them. Owner knows I have a lot of "older" pieces many in the early chamberings so he sets them aside and won't take any money from me as I help him some with his range, instruction and other odds-n-ends. But in his "goody" box I have made some great finds ... for example I picked up a new, still in sealed package, set of exotic wood grips for my S&W M39 and when I asked him how much he said "jus what I paid for 'em $3.00" heck they have to be $75 - $100 grips.

    I love rummaging around in that box, anymore it's about the first place I head for.

    If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!
