Are you still piqued that I once referred to you as "the sometimes recondite Ron" in a post on Sturmgewehr? I'd thought I had bowed to your renowned legacy as a prodigious dealer in TSMG's. However, I do think you need to publish a glossary of your lexicon as Tony Burgess did with "Clockwork Orange." Then we would be assured to ascertain even the most subtlest of nuance in your March of Time posts. But what I said in the Sturm board post still holds true. With all due respect to your grayer head, one needn't engage in NFA commerce to appreciate the minutia of the merchandise, or "moich" to you. |

Picked up some information regarding other Thompson items from this auction. Also it seem that #114 had a gavel price IF I am reading my information correctly of $37.500 plus 15% buyer premium ($43,125) and less 20% seller premium from the gavel price ($30,000). |

Everything. And John, Jr., I think we have to conclude that most owners and prospective sellers of Thompsons never heard of this board, where they might get up to speed. They do not keep up with pricing and all the other trivia relating to something they have probably owned for many years, and have no idea how to go about selling their Thompson when, for some random reason, they decide to do so. They think a logical solution might be to find some sort of auctioneer specializing in uncommon firearms. And one of the visible ones, who probably turns up in any search, is your favorite buddy, Mr. you-know-who, with the shiny dome and crooked used car salesman's smile. And then they and the buyer both get multi-Kahred, as ftc3906 has figured out. |

The Wal-Mart executives are better businessmen than both you and me, and they do not deal in B.S. Just realilty, and cut throat competition. I mean, the real kind, without rigged rules, interlocking monopolies, and paid off state and local politicians. How I love those guys, and patronize them to the exclusion of everybody else, whenever possible. |

Z3, The Wal-Mart management team would laugh at every one of your contentions and then, if they felt they had the time, explain how they squeak by, make a few of those impossible profit bucks, become the nation's largest employer, and are spreading all over the globe just about as fast as they can recruit and train managers and staff. And they are not working with anything as high as a 10% figure. It must be a miracle. I suspect the business facts and principles taught in their managaement training program might be quite a bit different than your understanding of marketing and resale, at least as you explain it here. You should let them know that what they are doing can't be done, and how they need to begin marking things up "50% to 100%" to survive, like those hard working gun dealers. ![]() The Wal-Mart executives are better businessmen than both you and me, and they do not deal in B.S.
