was out to the cabin yesterday and my cousin ask me if I needed any guns, seems his neighbor is selling off his guns, ammo, ect. One of my other cousins said he was pretty high on his prices and as I don't really need anything I passed then got to thinking as I knew he reloaded so I ask my cousin to see if he had any small pistol primers, I have about 1000, 158gr hollowpoints for my 38/357 to load.
cousin just called and said how many do I need, I ask him the price first and I could use a 1000 if he had them and price was right, he said $25 per thousand, so I got 2000 for $50. not bad these days....

That's a steal of a deal!
You didn't ask about anything else, seems he was giving some good breaks there ? At least see what he has 😀

my other cousin told me the ammo he was selling were his reloads, and about the same price as store prices, the few rifles he ask about the old fellow wanted new money out of, probubly reasonable in todays inflated pricing but nothing I needed that bad, I have most everything I need, I did ask about a 28 ga model 37, he wanted $750 for it, not sure if that is fair or not but it is more than I wanted to pay for a single shot I don't really need, only other 28ga's were brownings and I didn't even ask for a price, surprised me he let the primers go so cheap, that is the price my cousin told me will find out sunday if money and quantity are what he quoted.....
28 gauge 37 is like finding a virgin at a ladies of the night event. Need to research that one , don’t think I have ever seen one.
A true 28 gauge 37, if it truly is one, is in my opinion, worth at least double that price.
There a lot of fakes out there though.
There is a member here that is very knowledgeable on the 37’s.
Do a bit of research on past posts and go from there.
He posted a couple weeks ago on one he was working on.

I was just guessing on model, he just said he had a winchester single shot 28ga, I just took it to be a model 37
Would need a bit of hands on to say it was a real 37, 28 gauge. There are fakes to be found and easy to do.
A nice " real" 28 gauge would/ could fetch 2000.00+-
37-A came in 28 gauge, fraction of the value of a true 37 version is close by.
If my weak mind remembers there might even be a 370 28 gauge not too far away.
I would guess that he had a 37-A.
I have no idea what the gentleman has but an older distant relative hunted with a 37 in 28ga. I went squirrel hunting with him several times when I was a kid.
22-250 LR primers
