I live within walking distance of a Cabela's that opened last fall and have been frequenting the fine gun department since that time. The high prices they assign to what are often poor condition or heavily modified "fine" guns is mind boggling but last night I observed a new low; a re-cased philly 20 ga. non-ejector sterlingworth with a spliced comb and horrible redone grip checkering for the price of $5,500. The loose forearm was no extra cost. Cabela's doesn't seem to have much difficulty (or concern about)moving these guns. Do people not know what they are buying or simply not care?

I think you'll find each Cabela's outlet is different regarding pricing and negotiation of sale. That said, however, I've yet to witness any gun at my local Cabela's that wasn't priced at full retail plus 100% to 200%. Bottom line is they'll have difficulty getting my business on even a "good" gun. Fortunately, there are plenty of reasonably priced fine guns on the market if you look for them. I only check Cabela's for the entertainment factor.

They've not committed to the fine gunroom thing.
Their racks are filled with 2nd and 3rd rate guns at top drawer prices. There is a Lefever that has a disco ball finish, and that pretty much sums up the fine gun dept.!

There is no 'Price Multiplier' just a tall magicians hat from which tags are pulled! Buuuut,......was it Larry of IA that stated they pay top dollar for fine guns one brings to their counter?

I live down the road from the one locally and stop there
quite often. I have found 3 or 4 deals there, but it was things they didnt know much about or misidentified. Otherwise, it is a mystery to me why they price things as they do and who buys them.

Stallones is dead on correct, I have found quite a few good deals, and a few steals at the FTW Cabela's, it is on my way home from work, so it isn't a big deal to look at two tons of over priced guns, for one deal.
Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.

I think you guy's are nuts !
Almost every time I compare Cabelas Gun room pricing to the
Bass Pro Shop fine gun room prices Cabelas is usually 4-6% lower.
So there !
