I'm really ashamed of myself
I have taken the first step in becoming a greedy capitalist.
 A while ago I purchased a dust cover for the S&W Model 39-2 I have for $30.00 & just sold it for $200.00. They are pretty rare but still...

Confession is good for the soul, a deal like yours is good for the wallet.
The best of both worlds. Cheers Richard |

Did you declare that income to the IRS? Does "Fearless leader" know and did he get his cut?
Glad to see you making a profit without the filthy govt in the mix. Now, go out and enjoy the $$!

Hey, my best gun steal was $275 delivered for a Springfield Mil-Spec in stainless missing the barrel, which I found elsewhere for $60.

I went to an auction that was incorrectly advertised as having watercooled VW parts. Among my many scores that day I picked up a early beetle roof rack and a engine lid rack for $1 each. I sold them about a week later for $250 each.
I wish my luck was that good all the time.

Capitalism!
At one point I bought a Kugerand gold coin for $175 from a coin shop. When gold hit
$800 per ounce I sold it back to the same shop! A $625 profit in about 6 months!

Timely topic... I've been suffering from ticket scalper guilt. We bought 4 Justin Bieber tickets assuming my daughter would round up a couple of friends to go. That hasn't happened, so I sold the two extra tickets on Craigslist for what we paid for all four.

I bought a set of 15 x 7/8 Fuchs from a guy on CL for $100 (he knew nothing about them)
I sold them to a guy at Hershey swap meet for $1k

G'day!

Mark...you have to get rid of that guilt complex if you are to fit in around here...
 I hope it will help offset the expense of that new lawn you put in earlier this year....now that is how to look at it...creative financing!
