    Pawn Shop refuse to haggle

    Pawn Shops usually don't buy merchandise. They give you a loan, using it a collateral. After 90 days, or whatever the time period is, they put if up for sale. In other words they have had dead merchandise sitting for the last 90 days. They should make money on the operation. If you don't...

    Question about what to pay for Browning HP

    "Most gun shops mark up the HP over MSRP, that is $600-700, most will lie to you and tell that there will be no more HPs produced. I attend 8-10 gunshows a year and every year find at least one HP that I am looking for for $400. FFL gunshow vendors ask $7-800 for new ones and llie about their...

    So much for customer service.........

    You wanted them to fix it for free? A shotgun that was out of warranty and had been through who knows how many hands? Why didn't you insist on knowing what the problem was. If the person you spoke to didn't know, I bet his supervisor would.

    FFL transfers

    "Many FFL/gunshop dealers charge around $50.00. Why I have no idea. A well run shop can do FFL transfers for $20/25.00 plus any state/local background check fees and still get a profit. Some gun shops list themselves on firearm sites then act like it's a big hassle when you contact them, ."...

    FFL transfers

    "$25 at the pawn shop I use, $40 at the nearest shop. The gunsmith that used to be over in W. Columbia checked his records. He did over 500 transfers one year, so he raised his price by $10. $35 is a bit high, but I didn't have a problem with it since he always cut me a break on work and he...

    NEW NATIONAL FFL DEALER LOCATOR

    The BATFE has only approve faxing your FFL, no other electronic transfer method is authorized. If a dealer signs and uploads his FFL, technically, this will not be a valid FFL. I, for one, would not use this service, not because it isn't a good idea, but because the BATFE could cite you for a...

    FFL's - Can this Really be TRUE?

    "Jumping in kind of late but this is my opinion. NICS also checks NCIC warrants. What better way to have a wanted person stick around a gun store than have him pay for the gun then wait for the approval. This gives NICS time to call the local LEO and have them respond to the store." NCIS...

    FFL's - Can this Really be TRUE?

    "Hawk- say you're the dealer, and I take up 20 mins of your time, pay you $1000 in cash, then do the NCIS. It's delayed, and I come back 5 days later to find I've been denied.
