...a unique Wilson Combat I bought used/private sale in late 2018. Apparently it’s one of the elusive “Cave Guns” built originally for SF. Most were sold to the general public as overruns. A handful were bought by SFOD-D. The one I bought was a personal purchase by some dude apparently high-up on the detach-D food chain 10+ years ago. My gun looks new and probably has fewer than 100-200 rounds through it since new. The dude who sold it to the dude I bought it from tracked me down, confirmed my gun’s S/N, and just flatly offered me $10K, almost triple what I paid for it.
Dude sold it when funds were tight and now, a decade later, he’s flush with cash from his own .MIL contracting company and would like his gun back. Was very cool about it.
I’m not attached to the gun, and it’s definitely not worth what he’s offering outside of personal value to him. He just didn’t want to risk me declining. I told him $10K was too much and I felt a bit opportunistic taking advantage of his offer. He refused to give me less, so $10K it is.
I’m even more shocked, because these fairy tales never happen to me. I generally have pretty abysmal luck.
