Looks like a good deal to get a firearm

I saw this notice in the SCA-Nautical Yahoo list, and thought it might be a good deal for those of you looking to buy a firearm. I asked if I may repost the notice here:

OK i am officially out of stock, i have no guns in stock and because i have a minimum order from my supplier i need help.

so i am willing to cut me own throat and give any scallywag who helps me a HUGH discount on their guns

this includes the wheel-lock pistol, normally 450 i'll sell for 300

dog-locks and dragoon pistols $250

there are many available some from my posted pics (mixed suppliers) many not shown

i need at least 10 orders to add to my own, if i dont find anyone my offered weapons will drop to a trickle

they come to me not firable, i have to do some minor work, but there is an additional discount if you want to do this yourself (minor)

any takers, e-mail me and we can further discuss it.

I do not know Lord Asolfr, and can not give any recommendation regarding his business or the quality of his fire arms. Maybe some of you know him, and can post about him.

When I wrote to Lord Asolfr to ask him about posting his notice here, he added more information:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i have in upwards of 1842 flinlocks, lots of french and, sea-board weapons

look to my site www.wyldewares.com under blackpowder firearms and then specials (click on discount post.

you can see many of the pistols and a few of the blunderbuss and muskets, but there are still some to come

many more flintlocks than any other. i just posted wheellocks and matches because sca is pre- 1600, and us pirates fall after

Happy firearm shopping,

I sometimes offer to let crew mates participate in a wholesale order.

But I am always suspicious of a merchant that is unable to cough up

the capitol for a minimum wholesale purchase.

If you are out of stock what happened to the money from your sales?

That is a serious question, so i'll drop the brouge.

I sell many things, swords, garb, hand-made leather maps, leatherwork, cannons (yes), and much more.

so naturally i don't invest mush into any one section, the guns i've been dealing with were from a middleman, the same guns from the same supplier, but i paid twice as much or more. it took a long time to track down the company,

now ive found them and can get them at a good price, so i can sell them at a good price, i dont belive in charging $600 for a musket, the person wont want to use it there is to much of an investment.

but i can sell that gun for half that and still make money , then the person will come back and buy again and again, many people here in the Pub have the same guns im offering and paid way more for them, they're good guns stout and durable meant to be used

I've never ordered directly from the supplier before and it would take every last penny from my business to buy them, and that would not leave anything for the other items i have to keep stocked. i wouldn't even be able to buy more leather for the Caribbean maps i'm making (shameless plug)

The sales i've been doing are fine but this order is just to much for me to handle, so i figure let all my pirate bretheren out there share in a little plunder, and get some for myself. but it wont last, once the minimum is filled the huge sale ends, i'll still give a good price but not quite THAT good. i'm thinking about doing this same thing every 3-4 months give everyone a chance to get a new toy but those prices as well will be a little more. but not oo much.

I'm not the East India Trading Co. I'm just One ship sailing the tides, hopein to stea...find some great wares for my fine Pirate friends
