ODT10: Hobby Guys With Old Guns

[GA 1911]

It seems that many members are also interested in silver. I'll bring some silver coins FS or trade.

I think the date will work since it is two months away. I got my ticket with my badge. I'll add "old guns" and "silver".

Kind of coincidental, just found a small bag of silver half dollars that was squirreled away many years ago - guess i will have to sort the lot out ---

Just remember that current market prices have no bearing on what they're worth on the ODT. You should only ask 4X face value otherwise you're a flipping gouger.

Yes, I would aa well --- have a couple that I woulmost everything d like to sell --

It is a bit difficult to start collecting milsurps today, they have become quite expensive and the really good specimens are scarce --
Not like when I started, springfields and 1911s to the door for less than $25 - all sorts of weapons for 10 to 20 dollars - My 7mm rem rolling block cost $4.95 including Pancho Villas finger prints on the barrel --- Same weapon sells for 4 to 5 hundred now --

Yeah, but that $25 then was worth a hell of a lot more than now.

well in 1960 $25 was 8 hours journeyman pay --
today the lawn boy wants $40 for less than an hour
