It definitely pays to make friends with a pawnbroker.
Reading comprehension FAIL.I mean he invests $1500 to $1700 in a gun has to hold it in stock tying his money up, then expects to make a profit. Why don't they get real?
I'm going to hazard a guess that some of these guys are getting the "special" PITA rate.
Jeez.

.wrs840, Do you mean that the gun shops change the price tags? All of my local shops have price tags that clearly state the price.
If I went into a store that didn't label prices I would walk out. Ensuring I didn't ever have to pay the "special" PITA rate.
Most of the sellers on gunbroker ARE dealers. I'm not telling anyone NOT to visit a local shop, I'm just saying I'm not paying an additional $300 plus sales tax on a gun he doesn't have, so I can wait months, and he treated me like dirt. If that's what you call customer service, okay.
He sells new and has a pawn shop nextdoor so also sells used. I have seen him take some uninformed "mall ninja" types for all they are worth
