Best price ever

So I was in the pawnshop making a payment on a Ruger revolver I put on layaway. There in the case was a Schrade lockback hunter. Looked it over, was a 6OT, USA made, in really nice shape. For some reason, I can find lots of Buck 110s but hardly ever a Schrade that isn't all beat up. So I said, how much, manager said, I'm just going to put it with your layaway gun. No charge. Yee haw, that's a good deal any day! I have bought several expensive guns there over the years, still a nice gesture. Now I have to make one final payment on the Ruger to get the Schrade.

Can’t beat a deal like that. Sometimes it pays to be a good customer!

Great story!
Wonder why it is that nice stories usually involve a gun or a knife?
Maybe we have a target audience?

Good for you tallguy. Looks like that pawnshop knows how to do good business.
I bet picking up your gun/knife on the last installment will not be your last visit.

Golly! Only thing better than that would be getting a free Ruger for the price of a Schrade!

I was able to buy a few very nice old Schrades some years back for maybe a little too much money, but it has gotten so crazy now I usually don't even bid on them. Case in point:

I couldn't believe how high that got, and it's not even minty! I guess that box is worth a good $250.

The backspring has an area of spotting, otherwise knife is Mint
That's like saying that the truck I am selling has the tailgate crushed in, otherwise it's never been in an accident....some peoples kids...
It sure did capture a very high price though. Guess that makes my Factory Display 2 OT, "MINT" worth a heck-of-a lot more money...lol
