I have been running across great guns at nice local stores and have 0 money to spend on them right now! :mad: How come this happens when Im broke? How many of you does this happen to?
When I have funds available...I MIGHT find a gun I like..MIGHT!
Example.....
Im not really in the market for a 380 presently...had plenty in the past. I ran across a LNIB Browning BDA Blued with the older style wood grips...looked good. I drop the mag...OK...Hi Cap and a spare to boot....very nice. Then I had to pull the trigger....WHAT? Hey you come here...try this trigger.....oooohh aaaahh...thats nice!
2 other ex BDA owners tried it and agree its the best theyve tried.
This is the smoothest and sweetest d/a trigger I have EVER tried.
I would have bought it on the spot..and Im not even looking for a gun..let alone a .380. Murphy really bites, sometimes harder than others......:D
Shoot well

I know what ya mean...my Mom calls me Rich Man, Poor Man. When I have money I have lots of it. When I'm broke I'm dirt poor.

The dirt poor is when I see good deals. I gotta learn to put away a rainly day fund.

Good SHooting

This used to happen to me regularly, when I was young...I'm now 68 and it still happens regularly. Murphy is not an optimist....he is...he is...never mind:rolleyes:

Happened to me twice already:

Last year for a P7M8 priced $950 when the going rate was $1400. Now it costs $2300! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Then, early this month at the gunshow, a Kahr E9 (a rarity hereabouts) for $420.

I simply excused myself for a minute to tell the wife, when we returned, 'twas SOLD!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

If you don't carry a balance a credit card gives you a month to scrabble up the money for that gun you just have to buy cause its such a good deal. I found a deal on a Smith M58 last weekend and will pay for it next month when the card bill rolls in.

All summer long, I had been saving my pennies for an AR-15 carbine to purchase when I got back to school.

When I got back to school, though, the cashier's office informed me that since I am taking 18 credits, I would owe an extra $500. Gah! There goes the most of my AR-15 money.

Swing by J&G to stock up on ammunition (ammo money is in a different pot). Up on the wall is a beautiful brand new DPMS AR-15 carbine flattop, M4 contured barrel, everything exactly the way I want my AR-15 to be - and it's only $699!

GAH!

I whimper to myself, wishing that I didn't have to pay tuition.. sigh, turn away, start trying to fight for a sales person's attention so I could get some 7.62x51... then my ears perk up as I hear a gentleman walk in, look at the AR-15.. "Yup, that's the one I want. I'll take it."

GAH!

I will be AR-15-less for a few months longer, I suppose.. well.. at least I'll get in more quality time with my 1911.

Argh, that must have been a terrible sinking feeling!

Foxy-
Man, that's harsh.

In all seriousness, I think that with the economy not doing so hot lately a lot of really good deals get created for a couple of reasons:
1)People need money, so they start selling off guns that they own.
2)The retail places are having a harder time moving merchandise, so they drop prices and offer special deals.

It's the same thing with most consumer goods. Just look at what kind of a deal you could get on a new car.
