Just have to say that it shows how much they make in the rest of the store when they can afford to have a major department so badly mismanaged.
I buy a lot of guns from pawn shops who traditionally have very little invested in gun they take in pawn or buy. I buy other guns from Gunshops which tend to be almost all rifle or pistol oriented. They tend to under value doubles to the point that it makes me smile and open my wallet. Large gun shows have been kind to me and mostly from private sellers who are no getting hosed by dealers. Still have the Fox pair the dealer said was worth about 1/5-th of what they were worth. Make a profit man but do not try to screw everyone.
When I get to the big box stores I find that they are so badly run that they often have guns priced at multiples of the true value. Hard to dicker when a gun is priced three or four times the true value. It is worth a good laugh. Like the $4,700.00 Crescent 12 gauge I saw the had been engraved, restocked and refinished . The funny thing was the it had been engraved and the side plates had Purdery on them. Exact spelling. Figure it was a private joke of the fellow who had it refinished and engraved but it was being treated like a mid grade major name fine double.
