So, both the best and worst part of working here.....
.......is seeing what folks bring in. Best, because I'm getting first right of refusal at one of the best gun shows on the planet. You can't imagine the stuff people bring in to sell, swap, or pawn.
Worst is the day like I've described above. I had a young man bring in a half-dozen custom made fishing rods, high quality, every single one. His grandfather's name was hand painted by the maker on each rod so perfectly that I thought it was a manufacturers logo. No, it was grandpa's name, and this punk was selling them for beer money.
"I don't need 'em " he said. I cry inside a little bit every time I recall that my sister took all my mothers pictures and destroyed each one. And here this punk is SELLING his ancestry.
Broke my heart.
