Teaser... Heads up for the Collectors!

[tracker]

Forum friends are good but letting that beauty slip away is a bummer.

[ccoorreeyy]

A bummer indeed.   :-/

[kjtrains]

It's one that I had ( ) at one time.  I got it from a forum friend and sold it to a forum friend and he sold it to another forum friend.  It's nice to have friends!  

Soooo, that must have been the 143.  

[kjtrains]

Ahh, yes.  The #143.  Corey, you bought it from Brenden, you sold it to P7, then P7 sold it back to Brenden.  Yep!  That is one nice R9.

I think what I have heard here on numerous occasions that there is a lot more seller's remorse than buyer's remorse in guns. That is one reason I don't sell guns. I think KJ said that also. Of course, if money is needed that is another issue.

[kjtrains]

You're right tracker, I don't sell guns and agree with you; if money is needed, definitely another issue.

[Hayabusa]

Had to sell half of my gun collection after a divorce about 15 years ago.  Needed the money and still miss some of those irreplaceable pieces.
 
Remarried and my wife of 10 years is a shooter and NRA Life member.  She also collects custom knives with me.  A certified yoga and Pilates instructor she is in shape and keeps me focused on nutrition and exercise although my preferred sweat inducers are lifting and martial arts...amongst other things.    

Life is now grand!!!

I do still sell guns on occasion but only to upgrade the collection.

[tracker]

What a deal; you are indeed fortunate. Many people think that they can find happiness in another spouse and it doesn't work out like yours did for you.

[kjtrains]

Congratulations are certainly in order for the life you now live, Hayabusa.  Continue to enjoy!

Haya,
   I'm sure you miss the guns more than you miss the ex.
Sounds like you have done a good job of replacing the most important item, maybe the others will come with time.

Sorry again guys, just to recap...

When I announced this a week ago last Friday, I didn't realize the factory was closed last week.  My bad.  Then, I had no idea how long it would take to finalize the details on this...

The auction item itself is ready to go.  There have been administrative snags involving third parties--it's a long story.  Obviously we want this all to be right when it goes live.  I hope that happens tomorrow.  If it does not, I hope to AT LEAST have permission to post photos and a description even if bidding cannot be opened.

It does appear that the bidding will be handled through an auction site and not on this forum.  That was not my preference, but there are many issues in play.

Everything will, however, be announced and kicked off here on the forum, very soon.

[Brenden]

See if this brings the count back up.  

I recognize that blue gripped beauty!!

Corey fails to say that the Pup was his first foray into the world of Rohrbaugh..

I immediatly had the remorse,and was later able to bring the Pup back into the fold..

Never had that feeling over the occasional gun that I have sold over all the years..

Something about the Farmies that took ahold of me!!

[Brenden]

Alright...propose a new direction...being I do not recall an area of this "saga" of a thread pertaining to "what" this item might be, I propose a "poll". Here are some options:

1.   Its serial 5000
2.   Its a very low serial from the brothers safe
3.   Its a "special serial" number R9
4.   Its the first R45 version...huh?...what?...
5.   Its the pic of Karl in his thong

What say ye the board?

I was gone most of the day today,so I was not able to participate in the fun,so here is my guess.

Anything but the thong thingy!!

If it is what I think it is,it will be a special serial Pup,and of course accessories!!

Just a gut feeling..

Duane,
Appreciate all the time spent on this endeavor,I thank you for that..

Too bad about the auction situation,that changes things a bit, for everyone!

Thanks again for all the fun caused here because of this!!

Sheesh,a guy can't do a thing around here without everyone knowing!!
