Default RE: need help convincing the wife

$413 for a BAR LT .270Win and it's not in your safe yet? She's got you whipped pretty good! Where did you say this gun was?

Seriously though, I'd buy it while you can, because at that price it'll disappear faster than a pizza at a weight watchers convention. Buy now, explain later.

When you explain it to her put it in terms a woman will understand. Use phrases like, "It was a doorbuster sale," "one time only closeout price," etc.... If you need study material, go grab a newspaper and pull out the ads from the local departments stores, they're full of catchy phrases that women understand. Use her own shopper instinct against her. And if that fails and you have to play dirty, remind her that the last time she spent a couple hundred dollars on "shoes and accessories" you didn't tell her she'd have to wait until spring.

As a last resort you could always bribe her with diamonds.
