I missed out on another.
« on: April 01, 2022, 12:43:04 PM »
Well Guys,

Looks like I missed out on another, of course the bid was way out of my range when I discovered it.
I just can't believe a Palmetto of any kind bringing this kind of money.

Strange days we live in. It's hard enough to believe the prices for a regular ol' brasser 51'. If I had known it would be like this in the 90's, I would have loaded the boat. I remember passing many ASM's in the good ol' days because I wouldn't give them the 50 clams they were asking.

Wow. That's a ton of money for a gun manufacturer known to be of inferior quality. And on a model not generally popular. Too rich for my blood.

Holy crap that's a lot of money! We just got in 2 fabulous 2nd gen Colts...a 51 and a 60. We have them priced at $1000 and $1200. I guess maybe we need to double that if a Palmetto goes for almost a grand.....
