Haha. Wild, that's awesome. I knew that Cabelas wasn't a very good place to get a gun appraised, but had to drive right by on my way home, so I figured WTH. The guy at Cabelas told me my gun was worth $1-2K. I politely explained that that's what an average Field Grade sells for, with top notch guns going for $2-3K and completely unmolested guns in 95%+ condition going for $3-4K. He didn't seem to get it.... That's the good and bad thing about old doubles though. Sometimes guys have no idea what they have, and sometimes guys have junk that they think is priceless. It's definitely buyer beware. I STOLE my Trap Grade. I even told the guy what it was and said he had it priced too low, but he didnt waiver, so I bought it.... When I called Cabelas back I talked to a different guy in the gun room who was equally clueless. He looked up their inventory and found a gun similar to mine for sale for $2400. I asked him what store. If it was still available and in good condition, I was going to buy it and flip it. Unfortunately it was already gone when he looked into it more. I then explained why it sold so fast, and had him look into another similar gun that Cabelas sold for a LOT more money. He even tried to argue about it after he looked up the , so I just gave up. Thank god guys like that exist though, because guys like you and I can get ridiculous deals on great guns that those guys are clueless about. Even better yet, is the Lawn Shoo down here in the South. Those can be GEMS!!
