So I Am Sitting Here At A Local Gun Show...

 ...sadly not selling very much but there has been a lot of interest in a Llama Especial (aka. Llama 22 small frame) that I am offering for sale. The interest probably generated by the asking price of $125.00. The price is that low because it is being sold as a "parts gun". I would have thought almost anyone at a gun show would know the meaning of "parts gun" but much to my surprise at least a few folks have been clueless. 
 
One guy looked it over for a good few minutes, seemingly understood the term,  before asking what was missing. So, I wrote a new tag adding "no extractor" and at least a couple of guys were evidently ignorant of that nomenclature, yep they had zero knowledge of the part called an extractor. I also decided to add "no magazine" after a few folks essentially asked where was it. 
 
Another guy just stopped at my table and asked if it had a mag even though the tag said no extractor and no magazine. I told him the mag and extractor were missing and he was quite surprised. He actually had looked at the tag as if reading it. He then said thanks, put it down quickly like it had the plague and scurried away. 
 
I guess asking questions and paying attention to the answers you receive is how you learn. It certainly is better that folks ask me rather than someone who is clueless buying it, then trying to return it telling me I sold them a defectice gun.
 
All the best,
Glenn B
