Years back got a cherry "Civilian, AKA commerical" 1911 for $35 dollars. (It also came with a decent military type holster 5 magazines and 100 rounds of ammo.)
One of my BIL friends came home found his young son playing with the gun and his wife said no guns in my house. My BIL told me about the gun and I stopped by the place he worked at. Man had all the stuff there and said make me a offer. I only had $35 with me but offered a check at a lot more money. Man said just the money will do and I got the gun.
Also after a two week trip to Hawaii we stopped over at Vegas (Ceasers Palace) for 3 days. Waiting for the limo to take us to the airport go home I put a dollar chip in a huge slot machine by the door. It hit well and I paid for the whole vacation with a few bucks left over.
