Kinda maybe regret today.

Blkhrt13 · May 18, 2017

i went to go pay off my 92s and there was a guy with a Stevens 9478 in 20 gauge. He wanted to get 60 bucks for it. The pawn shop offered him 50. He offered it to me for 80 bucks out the door. I took it. Then I saw the sign saying shotguns were on sale for 50 percent off and spotted a model 500 mossberg they only wanted 125 for. I was a little disappointed. I guess I will get over it when I'm hunting with my 20 gauge next year. But 125 for a mossy. Dang it.

For $125 new, go back and buy the 500 too. Its a win win. 50% off on all shotguns is a hell of a deal.

Blkhrt13 · May 18, 2017

It's not new. It's used but it didn't look badly used.

DeepSouth · May 18, 2017

Well look at it this way, you have $80 less instead of $125 less.

All I can think really is how over priced their guns must be to be able to have a 50% off sale.

Why'd you pay him $80 if he offered it to the shop for $60? It'd be different if the shop said $60 and he said no.....

He needed 60 and they offered him 50.

OK, so why did you pay him $80?

What I mean is he had already set the price at $60 with them, why didn't you say you'd take it at $60? Why should you pay $20 more than the shop? when he told you $80, why didn't you reply that you'd pay him the $60 he would have taken from the shop?

True story

Blkhrt13 · May 18, 2017

Well honestly 80 seemed fair and it was the difference in a pawn he was paying back and a sale

Blkhrt13 · May 18, 2017

Perhaps it was the car seat in his Toyota that made me do it

entropy · May 18, 2017

OK, that makes sense.

Blkhrt13 · May 18, 2017

80 bucks still ain't a bad price for a well working slightly use worn 9478 in 20 gauge. I will use that one until one of my kids ends up with it.

Mn Fats · May 18, 2017

See when I posted $125 for a 500 I thought it was new. That means they want $250 for a USED 500 when there's no sale??? What a rip. $125 for a used 500 is something (unless lnib) I wouldn't feel too bad about missing. I paid $150 for mine used but looked to be never fired, basically nib.

Blkhrt13 · May 18, 2017

That's not a bad deal no

Mn Fats · May 18, 2017

Decent. They're a dime a dozen. If you can't go back before the sales over, another one will cross your path in no time

So what's to regret? Anytime you can buy a gun for less than a hunert you did good.

Yeah I might hurt them on that,!!

When I was in college I worked one Christmas for "Henry's Jean Scene" in Fort Worth Texas. Old Henry decided to have a big sale in January. We took a bunch of old merchandise, made the regular price tag into a sales tag, then put a new regular price tag on the merchandise that was 25% higher than it was originally. Sold a lot of clothes. Because of that one experience, On Sale, is taken with a big grain of salt.

I bought a 20 ga 9478 about a month ago from a local pawn shop for $75 OTD. They had it marked at $100. I believe there will be a use for quality single shotguns. You did okay.

There is always a use for them. I hunt with them like crazy.

I may be. But I will be hunting with a new to me 20 gauge next year. I'm sure the burn will subside.

Blkhrt13 · May 20, 2017

I was originally hunting singles so I could shorten them up to use as trail guns and beaters.

thewillweeks · May 20, 2017

My brand new 500 was $220 with taxes. So I don't think you missed out all that much on the "sale", just sounds like a normal day for a used 500.

Blkhrt13 · May 20, 2017

220 brand new? That's crazy.

Kinda maybe regret today.
