Sako-addicted
I thought I'd share my failed attempt to purchase a rare and very nice and early Sako Classic in 25-06 with wrap around checkering and nice wood. I saw the rifle last week listed for sell (not auction) on GI. I called the seller that day to see if it was still available and to tell him I would take it. However, I got his recording, so I left a message telling him I wanted to buy it and I asked him to call me back to work the details out. Since I hadn't heard back from him late the next day, I called again and still got his recording. I got online and opened GI to make contact with him, but the rifle was nowhere to be found on GI. I figured someone had beat me to the punch and purchased the rifle. Later that day, I got on GB to cruise the site and saw the rifle I had missed buying. The same seller was offering it for bid at a starting price a little higher than the GI sell price. I was ticked off, so I lost interest in the rifle. I was on GB a couple days later and saw it sold at $1735. The GB listing is 894912587. Makes me not interested in dealing with this seller.
