One of the things I enjoy most about being an FFL & doing consignments is running across new guns I am not familiar with & seeing where these bring in a lot of interest in some cases.
These two belong to a local dealer who has a long standing brick & mortar biz, but sends me his personal and rare trades that he knows will do better on the WWW & not sitting in his shop waiting for the very few who know what it is. He is old school & doesn't want to get into the internet & happy to pay me.

First is a Walther P38k that just sold for $2,025.00...new to me but was astounded with the amount of folks who had it on their watch list & final price.
2nd was a different animal for me as well...I'm not really a Browning A-Bolt guy, but this one is obviously special. I only found one other in a 270wsm in the same configuration where they were asking $2200.00. I cancelled the auction because my boss asked me if I could recommend a gun for a fellow sales guy in LA territory that is retiring & they wanted to give him something special. He is a gun / hunting guy & this was in their budget. It had some watchers but since it didn't have a bid, I cancelled & hope they tell me on Monday it's a go. I would rather see Mike get this than get sold on the net.
