I understand your thinking and I would have sprained my wrist reaching for my wallet but sometimes the "shut up and take my money" price in MD is the "sucker price" out in the sticks.
I'll give you $425.

Seriously... Is this a joke? How in the world did he let that go for 400?

You could have frowned a bit and said slowly, "Well... It's probably a little light for deer, but it might do for coyotes. I dunno... will you take $350?"

No deal! I've wanted one since I was a kid!
Do they even take CC's at pawn shops way down dirt roads there?
I didn't say dirt road, I said narrow road. Yes he took a card.
No joke. I was really hoping to find something like old Stanley planes or some other weird but useful tool they don't make anymore. Never know what kind of weird shit you'll find in the old pawn shops or barns down here. Somebody recently found a couple circa 1969 Chargers in a barn in these parts.
Nah, price was too good as it was, wasn't gonna risk it.

I hear ya. So have I. I totally would have paid it. My first BB gun was a crossman M1 Carbine copy like the pic. I've wanted a real one ever since. Still don't have one.

I vaguely remember those BB guns. I've gotten a few of the guns I wanted as a kid: 1911, Luger, .45 colt SA revolver (small c to denote caliber not make but I would like an actual Colt someday), M-1, C-96, M-1 carbine. Ones I will likely not ever have: Thompson, BAR, 1919, MG-34/42, M-3 greasegun, MP-40.
****in' 'ay right he did.

Congrats! Man, I miss the South!
About 10 years ago I walked into a pawn shop in md and saw a nice Quality Hardware M1. Price tag said $125, I asked if that was right since it was written weird and in sort of a code. Guy told me no, that was what they paid for it so they had to have $250 for it. I was happy to pay that! Went on my way happy for having made that lunchtime stop.
Good finds out there at times. I think more in places with less $$.

If people think $400 is highway robbery, think of what the previous owner was given. lol
You can't get a new 30 cal carbine for that money, let alone an original.

The M1 Does My Talking
Scene: An isolated pawn shop in rural North Alabama. Bubba the Pawnbroker is laughing quietly as he drinks a beer and counts and recounts a small stack of $20 bills. Seeing his partner's truck pull up outside, he quickly stuffs five of the $20 bills in his pocket. Enter Cletus.
Cletus - Say there cousin Bubba, whatcha got there? Money? You done sold somethin!
Bubba - You won't believe it, Cletus. 'Member that flimsy little pop gun you said no one would ever buy? The one you wanted to trade for a $20 Walmart card at the Buy Back? Well some big ol' Yankee come in here 'n' gimme $300 dollars for it! Here's your half. (Gives him six $20 bills.)
Cletus - (Grabs the money eagerly.) $300 for that flimsy little pop-gun? He musta been a damfoolyankee!
Bubba - Well, he weren't no Rocket Scientist, that's for dam sure!
(Both laugh and guffaw for several minutes.)
Cletus - Now ifn we can only find eleven more damfoolyankees we can get rid of the rest of those dam popguns in the back!

I once found Stanley #7 jointer plane made circa 1910 for $5. A bit of cleaning, new paint and new iron and she works like new. I think originals go for around $100 and new production by folks like Lie Neilsen run over $250.
Was probably there for close to 20 years.
Don't I wish! Most of the pawn shops "in the city" down here would have had it around $1000.
I'll be doing more country pawn shop runs for sure.
I bought a Mosin there. Very cool little shop and very nice owner. Every flat surface including the floor is covered in guns. Not always clear what is a collection and what is for sale. :-)
What out for free ranging chickens in the driveway though.

Great deal! I'd give you 600.00 for it
