I wanted to revive this entertaining (closed) thread.
I'll start with something a coworker told me.
We were talking about local ranges, he or I aren't originally from the area so we were discussing potential shooting locations. It's obvious he isn't much of a firearm guy, but his dad sounds like an avid enthusiast. He tells me his dad got a FA Thompson and they could only shoot it at a certain range. I said "oh cool, I bet he paid a good bit for that thing. How much if you don't mind me asking?" He responds "no he got a deal, like $1-2k and it was one in good condition, almost new. He heard the guy was selling it and bought it that day!"
