He must have a source or distributor we dont have at our store. We are lucky if we can get 5-7 thousand 9mm a week and that sells out in a couple days. We can get guns pretty well, but ammo seems to be scarce from all of our sources.
I work at a gunstore and while some of our stuff is admittedly a bit overpriced, we do still have quite a bit of inventory that is reasonably priced for what it is. Working in receiving there, I can confirm that our costs have gone up on a lot of things and we have had to increase some prices...
Usually don't feel its worth the effort to put anyone on ignore list here, but I did put one new guy on ignore because he started "following" me on here after I replied to something he posted.
Yes the gun stores are really that crowded. We still had 20 plus people outside last night waiting to get in when we closed. Been really busy from open to close every day for the last 2 weeks.
BOS is pretty much useless here. I will not do a deal with someone requiring one. If a peek at my DL and carry permit and my feedback on here isn't good enough for you, there are plenty of other people here I can deal with. I've met a good many great people through this forum and never had one...
I learned early on to price my stuff less than retail, but higher than what I actually want to get out of it. Never once, that I remember, have I had someone offer to take anything for listed price, despite being less than even online retail prices. I always assumed everyone else priced their...
I know everyone has to start somewhere with the feedback, and I'm not going to say I've never dealt with someone with zero or one feedback. That being said, as a general rule I try to avoid dealing with anyone with less than 5 positive feedback. I won't deal with someone who has even 1 negative...
165 miles one way is my longest trip for a deal, but I was going there anyway so it doesn't really count. Aside from that I think 50 is the farthest I have gone and I normally won't go that far unless its a really good deal or something I really want.
If I'm going to buy, sell, or trade with someone here, I check feedback before agreeing to a deal. As long as they have several positive feedback and zero negs, I don't need to know anything else. I assume if you've bought, sold, and/or traded here several times with no problems then you are...
Touchy subject on this forum. At least half of those you listed are overpriced and IMO, it's because of the name on the side of them. Some of them may use "better" materials or internal components, but I don't think most end users will see much benefit from having one made from 7075 T6 aluminum...
Actually, some online retailer's, such as Bud's Gun Shop, offer free shipping and pretty decent prices. Then, if you ship it to an FFL that does free transfers, you haven't paid shipping or transfer fees.
I generally check online at Bud's. I will not give someone more than the new price at Bud's on a used gun, and generally offer $25-$50 less than the Bud's price at most. Might be why I haven't made any deals here in a while. :noidea:
I just picked up a gun I bought from Bud's at Fourth Armory yesterday. Nice people and took almost no time at all. I also bought 4 new Pmags while I was there so that I was at least spending some money with them. I really don't think Fourth Armory is going to be around long with their current...
I really have no preference either way. Just depends on where I can find what I'm looking for at the time and where I can find the lowest price for it.
