Just a few thoughts I keep in my head when I am purchasing a new car but it also applies to a new gun or any thing else for that matter.
Never fully believe the person who is trying to sell you something, because behind every sales person there is a commission waiting.
And God would not have created sheep if he did not want them sheared, though I am certainly not one!!!!
When the salesman tells you the price my reply is usually I only want one not a dozen, or does that include share certificates in the business as well.
These retorts usually takes the wind out of their sails a little and put them on the back foot for a second or two making the playing field a little more level.
Well said- recalls the old story about the pricing and point of sales technique used by the Studebaker Wagon Company-- A farmer would come in and ask the price of such and such wagon- and they would throw out a price- If he didn't flinch at that, the sales manager would then add- "Of course, that's just for the basic wagon, the wheels and the tongue are extra"!! I see some high end East Coast gun dealers that have POR in their ads- wonder if they remember the two similar overpriced dealers, one in CA (Ivory Beads?) and of course, Mr. King Ranch himself, in Terrell, Herschel Chaddick- and where they are nowadays-- Funny, but Jaqua's in Findlay OH is still going strong--wonder why???
