Everything after what I put in bold, directly contradicts what is in bold.

| If I were OP, I wouldn't call this guy a "friend". He's just an acquaintance I deal guns with. Sure, you guys share common interest in gun types whatever, but that's about it, from the info provided so far. So, in other words, screw him, I say.

| it's your gun not his If there was no agreement that you would offer him first shot at it IF you sell it in the future, then he needs to STFU

| Yeah, if your relationship over the years was deals both ways that would be one thing. But if it's you cutting him a deal while he always charges you market price, forget that dude.

Facts are stubborn things
| First Suggestion - KARMA... If you value the friendship, quit buying and selling to each other. It only leads to these types of issues. For these pieces, keep them. If you need the money badly, put them up for sale on the Forum and tell him another friend wanted them for their collection.
Do, Or do not. There is no try. |
