kenw 293 Posted May 22, 2010 They are obnoxiously overpriced. We took a ride today, with nothing in mind and just to get out of the house for a while. Jordan is sort of looking for a rifle, but doesn't really know what he wants, so we figured the used rack at Cabela's would be a reasonable starting point. Anyway, I was going through the used shotguns, looking for something in .410 to jump out and sing to me, and I came across a USED Stoeger 3000 (yeah, the same cheap entry level o/u that Pete and I own). The gun costs $399 NEW (before the $50 rebate), and they have the balls, the chutzpah, the unmitigated gall, the effrontery, to put this thing on the used rack for $475. Barnum was right. There is a sucker born every minute. Sheesh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mipafox 438 Posted May 22, 2010 Shop there, don't buy there. Except for small stuff. Never guns or ammo. Lots of guys do very well with their Cabela's card and points and promotions and stuff. But you gotta be very savy to make that stuff work. Those guys talk about their huge deals but they have spent hundreds and thousands on overpriced guns and ammo to get there. Always buy the best deal. Don't buy from Cabela's to get points or rewards. Don't get suckered. Buy the best deal. When Cabela's has the best deal, then invest in your points or rewards.

On used guns, they do have pretty good deals that you can find. As far as ammo, the sale prices online, in particular for tula, and pmc, cannot be beat. $6.49 a box of 223 with $5 shipping. New stuff, yes, a bit over priced.... but not effingers overpriced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that's Tula prices, forget it. That would be silly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Ray 3,566 Posted May 23, 2010 My pops was there today too. He was there for the one day sale and went ammo crazy! 9mm, 45acp, 38special, and 223. I bought my AR from there and the only reason why was I had a 100 dollar coupon which beat anyone elses prices. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maksim 1,504 Posted May 23, 2010 here you go. PMC $6.49 a box 223 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sigman 41 Posted May 23, 2010 The sale prices are pretty good. PMC .223 and the Federal .22 bulk pack on sale with the ammo box and 5 dollar shipping is hard to beat. Their in store prices aren't good unless it's on sale or you have a coupon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malsua 1,422 Posted May 23, 2010 Barnum was right. There is a sucker born every minute. Cept he never said that. It's probably the #1 mis attributed quote of all time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Their in store prices aren't good unless it's on sale or you have a coupon. FYI. When I ordered 600 last week, the deal was $219.95 and get a free dry box. So I bought 30 boxes of 20 @ 6.49 and one dry box with free box of 223 for 14.95. Total came to $214.95 for 620 rounds and a dry box including shipping. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templ ... m1&Go.x=22 http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0079605217554a&type=product&cmCat=SEARCH_all&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&Ntt=dry+box+deal&Ntk=Product_liberal&sort=all&Go.y=0&N=0&Nty=1&hasJS=true&_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&_DARGS=%2Fcabelas%2Fen%2Fcommon%2Fsearch%2Fsearch-box.jsp.form1&Go.x=0 http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/common/search/search-results1.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&selectedPerPage=&hasJS=true&_D%3AhasJS=+&_D%3Asort=+&sort=all&Ntt=free+dry+box&Go.x=22&Go.y=6&_DARGS=%2Fcabelas%2Fen%2Fcommon%2Fsearch%2Fsearch-box.jsp.form1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did redeem some credit card reward points and have $400 worth of Cabelas Gift cards coming soon. :handgestures-thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old School 611 Posted May 24, 2010 They are obnoxiously overpriced. We took a ride today, with nothing in mind and just to get out of the house for a while. Jordan is sort of looking for a rifle, but doesn't really know what he wants, so we figured the used rack at Cabela's would be a reasonable starting point. Anyway, I was going through the used shotguns, looking for something in .410 to jump out and sing to me, and I came across a USED Stoeger 3000 (yeah, the same cheap entry level o/u that Pete and I own). The gun costs $399 NEW (before the $50 rebate), and they have the balls, the chutzpah, the unmitigated gall, the effrontery, to put this thing on the used rack for $475. Barnum was right. There is a sucker born every minute. Sheesh. Hey Mr. Chutzpah- Did you try to Gentile them down in price? I would have got a manager and layed out the realities to him. Just me...

I already own the Stoeger, so wasn't really that interested in it. Let someone who has an interest in buying it bargain them down, or pay the price they want. Buyer beware.
