Purcase Guns at Dealer Cost

Looks interesting, of course, you need to join and pay transfer fees at your local ffl

Unless I'm missing something, their prices look typical to me.

"Cost" is a funny term to throw around. There are varying levels of cost depending on the size of your business and who you know. As far as I can tell, there are the following:

 

1. Buying through distribution. Highest cost and can vary from one distributor to another.

2. Buying through a buying group. This can add quite a few points to margin depending on manufacturer and/or SKU.

3. Buying direct. Sometimes the same as a buying group, other times, better. And I've seen in some rare cases, worse.

 

Additionally, there are stocking dealer programs that can be profitable if you can get the free guns. So typically when someone says "cost," I take it with a grain of salt ;)

Dealers don't make a ton on new firearms anyway.

They must be comparing to ottamenelli's markup

Be nice...

I don't get it either. For example they sell Glock 19 G4 for $549...it's always around $535 online. Pass.

True dat :)

You are both smoking something. They do not mark up guns. MSR or less.

Yeah, I guess so, depends on which gun. But some prices do look a lot lower.

Be nice...

They sell an awful lot so there must be something going on that's right there.

Yep, the most in the state.

Uninformed buyers maybe??

You obviously have an issue that many other buyers don't.

I know i over paid there on a Sig i didn't want to buy online, i paid to be impatient, besides they are good people. I feel like there have been plenty of discussions on this already so lets not beat a dead horse.

No issue other than them lying to my face over something as stupid as needing to see your fpid to handle a gun.

They don't know you most likely and quite a few do that. Insurance is high as liability as well. Long ago, a clerk behind a counter would not only ask you for it, but would hold it till you were done handling the weapons. I'm sure if you were in their shoes, you would too.

So be stubborn about it and for what?

I wasn't stubborn about it. I had my fpid and was able to handle anything I asked for. My brother in law, a police officer, did not have his fpid with him. I informed my brother in law lots of stores have a policy requiring it. He laughed and said "I'm carrying a gun now but I can't hold an unloaded one I'd like to buy". We both chuckled but didn't complain. Guy behind the counter said it isn't his choice, it's state law, the ATF has sent people in before trying to catch them letting non-fpid holders handle firearms. Blah. Blah.

 

I don't have a problem with the policy. I have a problem being blatantly lied to, especially since we didn't care and weren't complaining. It's not like we were pushing it.

 

But like I said, they haven't really lost a customer, since they were consistently higher priced than just about anywhere else I've ever been.

20+ years ago when I had my ffl, I could get lower prices at the local K/wall Marts than I could from wholesalers because they purchase in supper bulk while I purchased a few (at most) at one time
