As I posted before, I'm looking to start a tactical shotgun build. I've been researching as much as possible and every time I leave my computer it's got at least 20 tabs open for shotguns and accessories.

Well, last night after I had a few beers, Meghan sits down on the computer and goes, "Oh this gun is pretty. Is this what you're ordering?"

I said, "No, not yet. I want to wait until after I sell my guitar first."

Her, "Aw, it's an auction. Those are fun! Just bid anyway"

*Click*

Me, "Done."


It's got another 10 hours or so left but it was a used Remington 870 12ga for $145! The barrel needed to be cleaned up a bit and the wooden stock is cracked. Perfect for me because I'm replacing all that stuff!

Good luck with the auction bro

Remington 870's have a very good reputation

Nope, it ended up going to $165. Once I got outbid the first time I decided not to stick with it. I'm glad I didn't because I stopped by the range after work to do some shooting and asked about having the gun shipped there. He said it's $65 for them to transfer it! Is that normal?!

Price of gun + $25 shipping to gun store + $65 for the store to transfer it to me?? Seems like that negates the savings of buying online doesn't it?

That is more than the most expensive store in my area. Most are $25-$35 and the most expensive one I've found is $50.

I'd check around for another store to do my transfers if I were you.

Thanks for the advice, brothers. I just did a little poking around and found a guy that will do $15. Much more managable! I'm going to dig through the attic while I'm visiting my parents house this weekend and bring back my guitar. Once I find a buyer, I'll be on the hunt again for an 870
