The guy that my dad sold my Colt 1911 to for $250 got a great deal. I had just got out the Army and moved in with my parents until I got my own place. Woke up late one Saturday and couldn't find my Colt. My dad came home, I asked him about it and he told me he took it down to the flea market and sold it for $250 bucks. He thought I would be happy, and was also under the impression I needed money. I just had got back from Iraq and i had about 20K in my account because I couldn't spend money in Iraq. Still miss that gun. oh yea, he gave me the money and it was a check. At least it cleared.
