Chance to buy a "looks new" Marlin 1895

[drift_g35]

First off, maybe you should not buy it based off the fact that he does NOT sound like a "Buddy," if he bought it for $400 and offered to sell it to you for $500.


Am I the only one that finds that odd?


It depends on what the Marlin 1895 looks like, most run $500 - $700 new. They are a good gun and the 45-70 is a big kicker, good camping rifle. I had one I inherited but stupidly sold it cause I was not big into lever action, now I regret it.

Let me rephrase that. I offered $500 because I know he wont get rid of it for $400 or $450, he'd rather keep it for that. $500 is a good enough profit for him.

And this thing literally looks brand new. Not a scratch or anything. Looks just like this.
