KY Jon,
You're right about the ebb and flow of alternatively laughing and grabbing. Most of the time I just chuckle at the prices they want, but then again two years ago I scooped the single rarest sxs I own from a Gun Library.
I paid about 15 cents on the dollar for it. They just had no idea.
Truthfully, I'm sad to see this announcement, as I think much, MUCH more of Cabelas than I do Bass Pro...certainly in terms of pricing. But frankly, my hat is off to the Cabelas guys having sold the absolute top of the market. The economy is imploding under the weight of a deflating bubble 5 decades in the making. Gun prices -- even AMMO prices -- are coming down now.
People are stocked up and out of money. Just waiting for the next shoe to drop. Guns and ammo have been strong in recent years driven by well-placed paranoia, but even here, I think the game is now up.
