What a Deal

Hello Everybody. I am new to this site.
Looks to be a pretty good place to share info and tell good stories.
I have a good story of my own.
I live in Kansas, and my dad is a UPS man. (i am 23) That can be a good thing but it can be bad as a kid cause your ole' man knows pretty much every thing you did good and BAD. It can be very good cause you come across all kinds of things and deals. He was delivering a package to a guy who builds his own stocks for his guns. He is a big rifle guy. He has some beautiful rifles from what pops says. My dad told him he was into SxS shotguns. The guy said, take a look at this. It was a Beretta Model 424. Great condition and beautiful gun. Not a scratch on it, smooth, and just perfect. The guy said he would sell if for $300 bucks. "Are you kidding me"
Dad came home that day and went back the next with $300 and came home with the gun.
Just thought I would share the story, a Beretta Dealer told me it was probably worth about $1000
Don't come across deals like that too often

Will be posting in the future

Here you go, get another one and have a set. Only $1495 in good condition.

Some people have all the luck.
