Distributors don't use the post office but FFL's and LGS's have. I don't care about the distributors. I have learned a lot of them are scumbags as well and are part of our problem. I also don't mind paying MSRP. I expect to pay MSRP up to + 15%

FFL's can ship can ship via USPS. When did that change? 500 wholesale depends what it is. What is the msrp?

I ordered 10 over the phone. Discount maybe?

Is that the cost to me the end buyer or the price paid by the store from a distributor? If thats the price to me and its what I am looking for I actually don't care about shipping. Meaning that I have no control over the fact it had to be sent fed-ex even though I know the postal service is cheaper.

No shit, businesses open to make money. That argument falls on my deaf ears. It reminds me they don't give a shit about the gun community. The same way I dont give a shit about them. Living where I live, no gun I buy supports nothing in my community. By the time I'm walking into a LGS I already know what I'm looking to buy and how much it should cost. I knew this was a sensitive topic With some members but the bills have to be paid excuse is tired. It does not explain why through out the state and on this forum barring a few exceptions why they have high ass prices. Why dont they try to move more volume. Guns do not go stale nor do they fade away. The I have them in inventory argument....As far as threads like this I have not seen threads like this here since I have been on here. I think as buyers we get the shaft supporting some of these people. We smile as if they did a good job and promote them even though you the consumer got ripped off.

these have been out for a while. It is dumb to over pay for an item that is available. KSGs for example have beeN out for a while. They are not some rare oddity as they once were. Tavors come in a steady supply.

.......prices still suck here.

It still does not explain how the same gun in Arizona, Texas, North Carolina or Kentucky can be so much cheaper. These are mom and pop shops as well.

I agree. Thats why I do not purchase from them.

Decided I wanted to spend my overtime money. Walked into a LGS looked at a Tavor, a KSG and Glock 19 magazines. Walked out laughing and feeling a bit of frustration. Here are the prices. 1 IWI Tavor $2300 + Tax and $17 NICS ($2479.14) , 1 Keltec KSG $1850 + Tax and $17 NICS ($1997.69). No its not a typo $17 for NICS. $30 + tax ($32.10) for Glock 19 magazines. What the hell is going on. Are they buying on gun broker then marking up? Is the distributor for NJ a dick? A few weeks ago tried to purchase an C39 quoted a price of $739 plus tax and NICS ($806.78). Yes I know we have to deal with pesky compliance work for the Tavor and C39 but sheesh. Brought the C39 for $650 & free shipping and the Seller welded the break and swapped the MAGS for 2 10 rounders before it shipped, found a great private FFL that does transfers for $25. Saved $131.78. Found a KSG out of state for $825 + 45 shipping. I am going to use the same FFL so I will save $1102.69. Am I missing something? What is the disconnect with the rest of the country that NJ dealers charge this much for things. Ohh yea the Glock magazines including shipping and a small wait $22 each. No one mentions this. No one complains about this. This is not acceptable. Is this why in the marketplace a lot of dealer prices say contact me? Is there some secret password or art of the deal to get a better deal around here? I know people need to make a profit and such but something is wrong here. Before you ask. I am a selfish asshole and I am not telling where I purchased anything. What are your thoughts on NJ gun dealer pricing?

i would have bought it out of state and just let no one use it but me.

BUY EVERY FREAKIN THING NOW!!!! Bury it later.

yeah I got it today. I type on a phone.

It all crap.People have no understanding of foreign policy or trade agreements. There are no restrictions on those products and the morons a re lemmings buying into scams.

I am a new member. I like it there. Mr. Colandro has been awesome and so has the range. Did anybody get their pen or card yet?

DAYYYAMMMM THATS A LOT OF PIZZA! Its pretty though.

By the time they are "altered" they turn into $24 - 30 dollars. Just like AR mags.

Went there for the first time last night with my brother in law. I liked the port sizes, the lighting and the pleasant atmosphere. Great experience for a first time shooter. I even got to meet Mr. Colandro who checked on our experience.

Who is your dealer?

AIM sucks. For no reason at all.

+1 When there is a loud ass comp next to me I smile.....Then pull out my AK and watch them flinch.

I am sure his CCW paper work was complete before he was out the door here in Newark. Home of the 3 month pistol permit. I give credit to the detectives in the department. There are only 2 and they get a few dozen applications every week.

If he took it apart his punk ass should have put it together.
