don't really have anything I wanted to get rid of, but have an old mossburg 410 pump I picked up for the grandson about 10 years ago only shot it twice. I was going to let him use it to deer hunt, with slugs, but got him a 357 lever action last year and it kicks less than the 410.
didn't get more than two tables in when guy came up and asked what I wanted I told him, about $50 less than a new one. He said to high and I told him ok no big deal it would fit right back in the safe didn't really need to sell it. as I got farther around I came to his table he had the same shotgun with a synthetic stock for $50 more and the one he had in wood was $125 more! I looke right at him and said you must have a real big safe, if mine was high at $300 your asking $125 more than me, turned to walk away and as I did had a fellow who had been standing at the table turn and ask me what I meant.
I told him what the fellow told me about mine and how much I was asking and that he had said I was over priced, he smiled and turned to the guy offered him $300 for his , the dealer gave him a dumb look and said no, he turned to me and asked to look at mine, and after looking said you want $300? I said yes he pulled out the money .

Supply and demand But I bet he was pissed , for not getting in the action
didn't really want to sell but I have a couple other 410's and it was worth the look from the dealer to sell mine.
Didn't see anything but too high prices [xx(]
Seems like anything you take to trade is too high to buy [^]
I was there yesterday, Paul.

Richard I was just killing time this morning, It did suprise me to see the guy back in the corner with powder and bullets, a bit high but if you really needed them at least he had it.
