I think the store owner is sick of someone looking at it for over a year and not making up his mind. He probably doesn't want to waste any more of his time showing and talking about it yet again. Been there, done that.
I’ve only been in there twice. Different guy both times. It isn’t my usual “go to place” I was just in the neighborhood going to Lowe’s and thought I’d stop by. Maybe I caught them at a bad time or he really didn’t want to part with it. He just gave me the grumpy stink eye. I was friendly and cordial like I always am. Either way, I was surprised to see it still sitting in same place collecting the same dust.

Not a bad price but top dollar. They are good rifles. I used to sell them and my family shot them as did I. But do check the bore.

I always ask myself "how much is it worth to me, and will I find another one easily ?"
Someone else's opinion is irrelevant to me, its what and how I value the item that matters.

The situation may be that you're just another one of the many guys, who wasted his time chatting about it and not following through.
I used to have an H&A pistol in 45. A person I met at a rendezvous had the same rifle as the one pictured, I mentioned I had the mate to his rifle and he wanted it in the worst way. I sold it to him for $225. I felt it was going to a perfect home.
Last year I purchased two ML's in about a weeks time. That really lit the fuse on the ole gals broom. Thought for sure I was gonna have to find another place to live.I believe you are right. I don’t feel that it is a bad price. I just was curious as to what everyone else thought. I’ve been wanting one for a while. I’ll probably end up getting in the next week or so. I just recently purchased another muzzy on here earlier in the week. But, two in the matter of days is ok? Right? I mean, I don’t have a problem right?

The post is from October. Nothing since. BUT ..this one's an early, baseline model with the tapered pin in the receiver. Mine were also labellled ,"45", but I shot .440 patched balls. Look also at the buttplate ,,,can't tell, but it appears to be the black plastic buttplate. The other thing to check is the nipple. If memory serves me correctly, at least one of mine used an odd nipple and the flash guard is a real good idea.
$300 , to me, would be top dollar for that one. The other weak point are wrist-cracking buttstocks (had two do that). Anyway ..reckon it's still there ?

The next time I’m down that way I’ll swing in to see. I think I’m the only person to handle it in that time. I think that I had mentioned that I have been looking at it for over a year; by that, I meant that I was surprised to still see it there because I don’t make it on that end of town very often. I mainly liked it because if it’s uniqueness. That is the first and only one that I’ve ever seen in person.
Thank you for your response. I appreciate it..

Yup for 3 bills Id buy a barrel full of them. Good shootin irons.
They gunshop owner seemed reluctant to show it to you? Perhaps he's concerned you might know what you're looking at.
I've been ignored by gunshop staff before. If they're not interested in my business I say....
