The suspense is killin' me!

Last week I let Hoosier Momma know I have been stashing money to get a gun off the GTA classifieds and was getting close to pay off.
Only $175 away from a red .25 Condor and I am planing to buy it for my 60th birthday present to myself.
Tonight she came home and out of the blue asked "is that gun $1000?"
Whoa!!
I said "Heck no... I will probably never spend a GRAND on an airgun"
"The Airforce Condor retails new for $850'ish ... this is a STEAL at $575!"
Well the eyes roll the throat chokes up... I thought I was in deep doo-doo.
Nope... Hoosier Momma (with much regret) let me know Daughter #3 contacted Daughters #1, #2, #4, my mom, and Hoosier Momma on a group buy for a $1000 airgun for a group 60th birthday present and wanted to know if it was
the same gun
I was already buying.
I feared I would have to rennig on the deal I made with the Condor seller here on GTA months ago.
I sent her a pic of the Red Condor...
"NOPE, That isn't even close"...
"you go ahead and get that one on your own since the deal is made"
Now.. this Daughter #3 is my girl who loves guns, She has been shooting for 30 years...first with me and then her husband is a CRAZY long range PB guy.
I have been trying to convert them to Airguns and showing them all kinds of examples of what a Big Bore PCP could do.
My head is now spinning on what I have sent them that was a $1000 that was on my "Bucket List".
First week of December I will find out!

You're very lucky. Hope you have a wonderful B-day when it comes and enjoy your new Condor plus whatever the surprise gun turns out to be.
The next few weeks may seem like they're dragging by, now that you're excited. LOL. Hopefully not too much though.

Congrats Scott and early Happy Birthday! I'm afraid the suspense would kill me, but I'm a few years older, so I'd have to use that as an excuse to find out early!!!

HaHaHa, I'm no spider lover either but I did own a Recluse and it was a very nice airgun!!! Not a $1000.00 gun though, so probably not a Spidy...

How are you fixed for a compressor? Maybe a nice little combo deal.

Rumor has it that it is already odered so dropping hint's won't work... besides I am floored already they even considered it!
I have had a Y.H. compressor since before the pandemic, and a Hand pump as a back-up so that is covered.
