I've just been back to the store and looked at it again (after looking at prices on the web -Thanks Paul!). Looking more closely there were a couple of small scratches and grazes in the wood, nothing major. Generally it looked about 95%-plus decent. Here's the story...
It was a in a store that's closing down and they're selling off stock before an auction with a 10% discount on firearms. Earlier this evening I had been offered it for $295. Judging by the prices I found on the web I thought it was worth going back. I looked the gun over very carefully and stood there in front of the salesman procrastinating. Chatting with the guy I found out that he worked for the auction company and had been working for about 12 hours non-stop today so was pretty tired. With me still procrastinating he offered to drop the price to $285 so I counter offered $275, still with the 10% discount, and the deal was done.
But there's more. I didn't really pay attention when they rang up the price at the checkout, but looking at my receipt when I got home I got charged less than $200 out the door! I feel a bit guilty because I think they have either messed up the discount or completely undercharged me. Now I feel like I should go back and mention it - or should I just chalk it up as a lucky break?
