I got a great deal in another charity auction. This is a stainless
steel Ruger 22/45 Mark III Hunter made in 2007 from the Ruger factory collection. The bonus is that it has an Aimpoint Micro R-1 factory mounted. It's new old stock and comes with a certificate of authenticity. The best part, aside from the money going to charity, is that the firearm was only about $100 more that what the red-dot sight costs. I'm not sure if I want to fire this one or leave it unfired to hold the value. I have other .22LR Ruger pistols so I'm leaning toward the safe. I have a Ruger 22/45 with a factory suppressor on order so I might look into adding a sight to that one instead. |

I had one years ago, with a long barrel. It was as good as all the Mark III's, though I think the non 22/45 models handle better. I don't recall what I paid for the pistol when it was new, but it was about $300, maybe a little more, from a high volume dealer. A stock Mark III is a good shooter, but it could use some work to make it a better shooter, the kind of work Volquartsen does. A high end red dot is wasted on these pistols. Most of the Mark III's I see that have a red dot mounted go with the Bushnell TRS-25, which goes on sale frequently for $55 to $75. It's more than good enough for a stock Mark III. |

I have a fender guitar that was produced by the hundreds of thousands, except mine is factory different. it's documented and it's #3 out of only 13 of it's kind in the world. It's worth about as much as my wifes new Honda CRV So... I can appreciate his collection of unused firearms, with documented factory owned (not for sale to the public) pieces. |

He's definitely proud of his guns. Why? Anyone with modest resources can duplicate his collection easily. He has them all trigger modified to accommodate his arthritic trigger finger. As for his collection of bad debt, tax delinquencies, foreclosures, and bankruptcies, I have yet to see him make mention even once. And that is strange considering how he is so open about his and the little woman's affairs. Are you sure he's "very proud" of those dubious distinctions?

It's worth about as much as my wifes new Honda CRV So... I can appreciate his collection of unused firearms, with documented factory owned (not for sale to the public) pieces. Some guitars can be very valuable if rare and it sounds like you may have one. My experience though is that the true market value is almost always lower than what the owner would like to believe. Fender has their "Custom Shop" series of guitars that come with documentation but they are rarely worth what people think they are worth when it comes time to sell or trade them. The best sounding and playing "Telecaster" I've ever had is one that was custom built by Rick at the shop. Of course, my opinion is a bit biased. I once had the daughters of a guy who had passed away come into the guitar shop carrying a strange looking case. When I opened it, it contained a 1962 Fender Telecaster in excellent condition. I looked it up in the Vintage Guitar Pricing Guide and it was valued at just over $17,000. But, it didn't have the original case, so it had a minor impact on it's value. I offered them $12,000 for it but also recommended that they take it to other shops who might be willing to pay more. They appreciated the advice and left. About a month later they returned and said that if my offer of $12K still stood, they would accept it. Meanwhile, I had done some research on the strange case it was in and discovered that it was an original Fender "Thermometer" case that was used by Fender for less than two years when they first came out with the "Broadkaster", then "Nocaster" before being re-named the "Telecaster". The case looks like an acoustic guitar case but has a "bulb" shape at the headstock end. You can get reissued versions of it that are made to look old but this one was an original. Anyway, I found out that the original issue Thermometer cases were very rare and commanded premium prices to collectors. When the daughters came back I told them that the case may be valuable in addition to the guitar. I also asked them if their Dad had another guitar, thinking they may have put the wrong guitar in the case. If he had an original Broadkaster or Nocaster, it would have been worth well over $100K. Turns out he didn't and the daughters said they were happy with my offer of $12K. I sold the case on eBay for $3,500 after a bidding war between two collectors and sold the Telecaster for the $12K that I paid for it and the case. Funny thing about the old, vintage, 50's and 60's Telecasters is that they sound like crap compared to the modern versions, especially the upper neck pickup. Magnetic pickups have improved enormously since those days but when you are trying to reproduce the original sound of a 50's or early 60's Tele, only the old pickups will give the guitar that distinctive sound. |

I think you got a great deal and have a great collection. A great collection of mostly non-collectibles... Ruger has made thousands, maybe tens of thousands of Mark III Hunters. I had one years ago, with a long barrel. It was as good as all the Mark III's, though I think the non 22/45 models handle better. I don't recall what I paid for the pistol when it was new, but it was about $300, maybe a little more, from a high volume dealer. A stock Mark III is a good shooter, but it could use some work to make it a better shooter, the kind of work Volquartsen does. A high end red dot is wasted on these pistols. Most of the Mark III's I see that have a red dot mounted go with the Bushnell TRS-25, which goes on sale frequently for $55 to $75. It's more than good enough for a stock Mark III. That's nice. I have a fender guitar that was produced by the hundreds of thousands, except mine is factory different. it's documented and it's #3 out of only 13 of it's kind in the world. It's worth about as much as my wifes new Honda CRV So... I can appreciate his collection of unused firearms, with documented factory owned (not for sale to the public) pieces. Admittedly, I don't read Alex's posts, and only see some of them second or third hand, but I don't recall anything that indicates the Mark III he bought was "factory different." Unless there is something unusual about it, it is just another mass produced .22LR pistol. As I stated, these are fine pistols, usually, but no more unusual or collectible than a Toyota sedan. I can't think of a valid reason why anyone would put a $500 red dot on a stock, production pistol other than there was one kicking around the shop. OK, so. why all the criticizing? He has a hobby he enjoys. You criticize him for it. Herring likes to go out to parks in his trailer, and you criticize him for it. Wayne has a very nice boat and he is capable of piloting it to about any open body of water, and you criticize him for it. There was a guy named Dale (fishwisher) who had a hobby of fishing in various lakes for sturgeon. had a great boat and camper. He'd post stories here and you'd criticize him for it. What's the deal, Harry. It seems that it bothers you if someone here happens to enjoy a hobby. really What Alex does, mostly, is take cheap shots here. Herring does the same, and is a racist. Wayne is a pompous asshole. It has to do with their persona, not their hobbies. You would only see those "cheap shots" if you read all of my posts. You are the undisputed King of "cheap shots" so STFU and go pay your taxes. |

I mostly give back what I get. You will not be able to count on more than one hand the number of people here that believe that. |
