  • Would you buy something with this history?

    Ridiculously high price aside.... would you buy it or one with a similar history?

      Oooo interesting. Honestly I dont know what I would do. What I DO know is that if the price were the same, i'd get one that WASNT used in a suicide. If it were discounted, eh i'd probably buy it. I wonder if its like a real estate transaction... I assume you arent required to notify the buyer if a gun was used in a suicide. I bet the guns that are used in suicide ATTEMPTS have to be discounted....hell, they dont work too well. Dang, that was wrong.

          That's just weird.

            No way. Not for me. I can't believe the widow even took it back. Must need the money.

            Bawanna, looks like it's in your part of the country. You Interested?

              I don't think I'd want that in my home.

                It would not be an issue if I wanted the weapon. I am not one to blame the weapon for the unfortunate event that it was involved in.

                  The fact that it was used in a suicide means nothing to me.I wouldn`t buy that particular gun because of the shape it`s in and the price.If it were in good shape and I was in the market for that model,then the answer is yes,I`d buy it.

                    Only the fact that I don't want, and can't afford, a Model 29 affect my decision of whether or not to make a purchase. I don't believe in "bad luck guns" any more than I believe in ghosties and ghoulies.

                      It appears the seller is trying to capitlize on gun history.....not cleaning it and including evidence box. Sick sob.

                        I agree with you Jeepster. It seems the seller is trying to capitalize on someone's loss. Not cool at all. Do you think the name on the box is the name of the victim? My guess is, probably, and the seller is advdertising that as well.

                        People are funny however. I bet if the gun that killed John Lennon went up for auction, it would fetch a premium!

                          Not that this one is the same thing but does anyone remember Jeffery Dahmer? After he was prisoned they destroyed his "tools" to keep the wierdos from buying them as some kind of collectable and/or making money off of them. Again not that this is the same thing.

                            I don't agree with people buying that kind of gun either.....but I do understand that at least if it was famous person and had real historical value.

                              Says volumes about our society doesn`t it? Think for a minute.How much do you think Lee Harvey Oswald`s rifle would fetch at an auction? John Wilkes Booth`s pistol? Personally,I wouldn`t want either but I`ll wager that some people would pay through the teeth.Do any of you remember how much Michael Jackson offered to pay for the Elephant Man`s bones?There`s some strange folks walking around out there.
