Why gun stores shouldn’t #*%& their customers…or, my parking lot bargain buy…

[lkjohnson17]

My first handgun was a Bersa Thunder .380. I like it a lot, and still carry it when I need something smaller and more easily concealed than my 9mm.

Some shops riding the wave of demand have been gouging their customers for a couple years. I don't mind tem making a profit but the greedy ones are obvious. Remember them when the wave subsides

I also have a shop in my area that will sell guns close to MSRP, and offer you very little in trade ins or basically low ball you if you want to sell one, nice pick up Hans.

Yes we have one of those local gun shop if you are not wearing duck tape on your ass they will get bad Msrp plus 20 % for the hell of it but they have everything and cool stuff all the time

Where have you found the mags?

I picked mine up from Battlehawk Armory. They showed up in the inventories of a decent number of online stores at the first of the month. Most of them are out right now, but Bersa is supposedly shipping new mags every month, and they seem to show up every few days at different dealers. The UPC for the flat black mags is 810083204246, and the gloss black UPC is 091664903882. If you search for these UPC's in any of the gun search engines, you should be able to find some in stock within a few days. Of course, you can never tell how many of those mags are sitting on boats docked outside a U.S. port, but at least they are finally being shipped by Bersa.

I like private sales in AZ, no transfer fees.

I like private sales in AZ, no transfer fees.

Kentucky also.

Handguns only in PA have to be transferred and a fee. Nothing for rifles and shotguns sold privately.

 

[HansGruber]

MN allows private sale, but the guy I bought it from wanted it to be transferred through a dealer.

Not that big of a deal to me, I guess.

We are 50 of dealer price on buying used guns, thats were we start and go down if really used. Every gunthat comes in is “brand new” or just one mag run through. We have bought broke guns that were sold to us as new. So when we buy a gun we are buying an unknown. We do not force a customer to take the offer, they are free to go down the street to the pawn shop. Our job is to be in a used gun as cheap as possible. It sounds like the seller didn’t even bother to counter offer.
