About two weeks ago I was in the Gander Mountain in Harrisburg, PA looking around. They had a bunch of the German Polizei P6/P225 trade ins, for $399. They werent in the best shape and the finish on most all of them was pretty bad, and if they rated "fair" they would have been lucky. I passed.
I was just back in Gander Mountain again yesterday. I had heard they were having a " big sale" and figured I would stop by as I was down that way anyway. Those same P225's were still there, in the same crappy condition, and now on sale. Two weeks ago they were selling for $399. Yesterday, they were reduced "save $150"! Cool, I look a little closer at the tag.... "originally, $469 on sale for....$399.99"! Jeez, what a racket! I still passed
This is only the third time I've been in a Gander, the first was about 10 years ago in Wisconsin. That store was a nice one too, a lot like a small Cabelas. The ones here are kind of junky and basically just store fronts in a strip mall. I didnt see an deals on firearms,(or anything else for that matter) sale or otherwise, and now after seeing how they set up their sales, I dont think I'll bother to stop by anymore.
