Never been to Van Wagnen's store, but I saw him in action at a small gun show once.

He walked through the place with three assistants. He'd point and say "That one...and that one" as he walked. He wasn't pointing at guns. He meant for his assistants to buy those TABLES of guns!

He cleaned out every desriable and semi-desirable gun in the place ten minutes after opening on Saturday. Needles to say, the guys who sold off their whole tables were happy, but the rest of us were stuck sitting there the rest of the weekend among scads of bare tables. The customers were sure pizzed - and I can understand why.
