If you think you are a person of some importance, try ordering someone else's dog around.

The Memsaab takes very little interest in the expense of my sport just so long as I enjoy it and leave her in peace at weekends whenever possible.
Thankfully no requirement to amend any invoice here but with last new purchase did make a point of leaving to dispose of outgoing item and returning with an empty slip and a slightly forlorn look - clearly hiding my intense excitement at the imminent arrival of a shiny new Uberti 1873 which did in fact “land” quite by chance I might add (!) when I had a day off and she was naturally at work - they come in quite big boxes !!
Since this virus and being furloughed I did say I would be cleaning all my guns to fill time - her working from home she was glad I would be out of her way and doing something outside - the key thing with such a project is to spread it out over a few days or weeks so the actual number is not readily tracked - and I believe I got away with it !

To be honest she's pretty switched on to how much they are all worth, along with all the extras and accessories just in case anything was to happen to me.

Re: Helpful dealers
I have bought rifles, shotguns and sights in the past and for most of them I have two receipts, all from dealers .Having said that I have never been asked to produce the evidence to how much I have paid, so far!

Re: Helpful dealers
It is a toss up which of the two of us buys the most guns so it does not really matter. I have just acquired a Remington Model 11, to counter that, she recently ended up with a .22WMR CZ after it came in. I did a swap for 1920 Lithgow recently, however I did build the M54S-430 for her so things balanced out. I am sure I have missed a few along the way this year. What I can say is the Viking usually does the negotiating when it comes to prices so she knows exactly what is paid out.
