Gun shops do tend to keep slow moving guns for what I would agree is way too long. But we are thinking about the Walmart high turnover marketing model and many gun shops don't. If they turn over the black guns fast enough they can be happy to keep slow moving items on the racks for a very long time. Last year I was looking at two Ithaca 28 ga. pump guns which had been on the racks since the current maker took over making '37's and brought them out in 2009. We are talking about the next best thing of a decade. Brand new, without the box guns, on the racks for years. If he had the boxes I would have bought them just to sit them aside. The owner seemed in no hurry to move them and he was selling other guns while I was there. He sold three long guns and several hand guns while I was in the shop. His price was decent on the 28's but his prices are his prices and he does not come off them which is his right. His business model seems to work because he has been open for decades.
