Anyone ever have any luck negotiating used gun prices at Cabelas? Not sure if the Bass Pro take over changed anything.

Haggling at Cabelas

I did on a damaged crossbow.
The one up along I-75 wasn't too bad a couple years ago. If you ask the manager to check the time on the floor they have some "room" after X amount of time. I 'haggled' a $1,200 AR-180 down to $995 but I'm too cheap to pay that so I walked.
An employee told me that how long it sat on the floor was pretty much the main factor in haggling for the used Cabelas guns.
They may start out high as hell on used guns but they are more business minded than 85% of gun show sailors. Turning inventory and ROI important to them. Some dealers and shops around Georgia are schlepping the same tired, shop worn pieces of crap around since 2010 when I moved back to the state.
I’ve noticed the one in Acworth seems to carry a lot Fewer used guns since Bass Pro took over. That and they all but purged the Cabelas clothing lines out and replaced it with cheap ass red head stuff.
Red Head label is rubbish. Everything. Not one single SKU of any quality sold under that brand.
Years ago (like 15 or 20) it was good stuff. Then, tey went the Walmart route in regards to material and quality and the stuff is absolutely junk. I hate to see it happen to Canelas. I’m about out of places to shop at.
I was able to squeeze $50 off a HeadDown G17. Not too bad for $450
