Hello everyone, since there is a bit of AK people surfing the board i would like to share my experience. I am up here on a visit and decide to hit all the gun stores. quite possibly the worse experience i ever had of any gun store visit ever.
I went in and saw a used 686 6" with a fake pair of ivory grips and a etched eagle on it. the price was $450. since these guns go for $500 ish on gunbroker i asked the store clerk to come show me some guns.
he asked me how much money i had, so he will pick me out a gun. i told him that i just want to look at the 686. so i asked what kind of deal would he make for me. he asked if i had cash right now, i ignored. he then proceeds to go open his book of guns.
it was not a blue book but simply what the MSRP of the gun was NEW. he told me it was a $1000 gun (i don't even think he looked up the right combination 686) and it is worth more with the grips.
he then took the sticker off and re-priced it to $650, and told me i coulda had a good deal if i didn't bargain for it. and ask me again if i had the $500 cash to begin with. I said no, who carries around $500 cash in their pockets anyways?.
after i said no, he turned around and ignored me. and helped the other people.
i am so pissed!
