Dan - sad to see that, tho hope perhaps ''possibly'' could turn out to be ''don't need to''!

Good luck, Dan.  I've won and lost fortunes several times over the years.  The important thing to remember when you're down is that you can get up and that you can start over again.  

On those occasions when I have been knocked down for the count I've taken some comfort and inspiration from Theodore Roosevelt's description of "The Man in the Arena":

"It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.  The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

~President Theodore Roosevelt
Speech at the Sorbonne
Paris, France
April 23, 1910


Even if you have to sell your R9, plan to get another when you're back on your feet.  And keep coming around this campfire.  We'll keep your seat open for you.

Dan - the roller-coater of life!

I can but echo Richard's excellent quote and sentiments.

I hope things go for the better. Life cycles and you will be better for it. 2006 is the year for this to happen, hard work and a little luck, you will fly higher. Remember health is the most important asset we have.

Patience Dan - may take a few days - some folks only drop in now and again, and most actually here have now got one.

News will travel :)

No point to make, just thought you would be interested. Forgot the details, but it did not have all the extras you offer, and yours should surely fetch your asking price with all the extras, thats all. I bought mine new so I know what we all paid. I wouldnt fire sale it either, just give it a while.

I'd be happy to list it on gunbroker for you -- and cover the fees -- if it will help you.

I know what it is like, having to part with some firearms following the disaster of Ivan.  Others helped me at that point, so I'd be honored to help you in an effort to "pass it forward".

Can anybody list on "gunbroker" and what is the fee to do it??? Geminidan
Title: Re: R9 Possibly for sale
Post by: flyandscuba on December 27, 2005, 12:22:21 PM
Yes, anyone can list.  There is no listing fee -- and the ad will renew until the item is sold (or you cancel it).  Then, a final valuation fee is calculated -- based upon the final selling price.  It is a great way to get national exposure for your firearm.

Here's information regarding the fees for the site:

I bought Dan's R9.  Couldn't ask for a nicer guy.

Turns out he lives pretty close to me, so we did the deed this morning.  Since I don't have to work this week, I'll be at the range tomorrow morning to see how she shoots.

Now to find a holster for it...

Dan wouldn't part with his elephant, so I'll try a RJ Hedley next.

J_Oei:

Welcome to the Forum and to the Club of R9 Owners!  Until RJ resumes work after the first of the year, you might try using a "Mexican Loop" to carry your new masterpiece IWB.  All that is required is one leather boot lace.   ;)
