Only on ammo, but I think he was B.S.ing me since I couldn't find it anywhere online & he stated an in store price.
I search the current prices before I ever list mine to reflect the current price rather than what I paid or expect to get out of it. Their used guns, not all are investments.
should have replied back asking if he was still in the store and if so to go ahead and buy that one........
My exact response was "That's a great price, you should go buy them out!"
My price was $2 cheaper than what I could find on Ammoseek.com per box for an idea what I was charging.
Exactly what the response should be.
Anytime someone leads with "well I can get it at......" or "my store..." then politely respond "you should buy it there then". I would much prefer someone just straight up make me an offer for less than my selling price than try and "justify" their offer like that.
I try and price fairly and sometimes do have a little room on price. Just ask directly "would you take $375 for the gun you are asking $400 for", NOT "well my brother's cousin gets employee discount at the LGS and he can get me....".

OP I have totally missed your point. I have never seen a 9mm SP101 on this site. It is very common to see SP101's in 357 as a matter of fact I have traded for a few in the 450-500 range. You should include that in your link because that same site has the 357 version starting at $549 up to $679 depending on the model. I have always thought $450-$500 to be a fair price for the SS SP101's in 357. Just my 2 cents.
I would think most people figure in tax, shipping, ffl fees etc when buying guns online. I know I do when comparing prices. But more than several times, I could get a new gun cheaper with all additional costs than what I see it used for here. There is a gun right now in the rifle section I considered but I can get it new, shipped to my ffl, for 20 bucks less out the door with just 5 minutes of searching online. It's like some people just didn't save for retirement and are shooting for the moon to get a little money in their bank accounts.
Went to buy a scope from midwayusa the other day, came up wanting Ga sales tax. Nope. Got it somewhere else for cheaper out the door due to it, they didn't charge me tax. I imagine everyone will catch up in the next few months.
I got a pm from a guy telling me I shouldn't be asking to see IDs. I rarely do anyway unless someone looks or acts real sketchy. I've sold every gun I have ever posted on here or anywhere else without issue and usually withing a couple weeks or a few repostings. I always leave a little wiggle room, all anyone has to do is ask. Meanwhile the joker than pm'd me has been posting the same set of guns for I swear two years. If there is gold in the buttstocks he needs to let use know in his ads to justify the prices.
