    I can't believe I got over $100 for this thing

    I decided to put this snub on GB at a $50 starting price. I thought the BIN was ridiculously high at $150. I guess I was wrong! I just listed this thing last night.

    GB

    I have been buying and selling on GB for years and if i have learned anything it is that there is always some-one looking for "THAT" gun..it may not make sense to anyone else on earth but they are happy to find it...

    This is so true. Look at it this way. Somewhere right now in America someone is eating a liver and brussel sprout omelette and enjoying it. The only thing predictable about people are their unpredictableness. but I always admired this little gun and I think $150 wasn't so crazy. there's a guy out there on Guns america I think who will cut these guns down for $150.

    Hey, I like liver, brussel sprouts-eggs too!

    I remember seeing that gun but couldn't tell it had a brass frame-I remember I asked if it was a real one. Cool looking piece!

    The guy messaged me and said he was looking to make an Avenging Angel style gun and this one fit the bill. He just asked me to send a picture of the other side of the gun because I forgot to in the listing.
    I told him the other side looks equally as bad and sent him a picture
    I think anytime I find a budget priced cap and ball replica I will buy it and turn some more of these out. It's not like its hard to do.

    Shorty

    I was just reading a copy of guns magazine, Sept. 1959 & there was a picture of a gun much like this one..it said " Old time belly gun for maximum effect in minimum packages " very cool...

    I don't like liver and eggs, but squirrel brains and scrambled eggs is another thing! Nice Gunbroker deal twaits! Thats like flea markets, it surprises me what sells. I actually sold a partial bottle of Hi- Karate after shave once for $2.00. at a yard sale?
