and he told me that gun prices will probably go higher real soon, don't know if he was just saying that to get me to buy another gun or if it's for real.
He said he has some discounted guns for sale occasionally. Some with cracked grips or too many dings that they don't normally sale new.
Probably guns that had been returned.
 
I've noticed a large increase not only in guns but gun related products. I don't know if it's only the economy, but there's something to be said about the price of Uberti and Pietta's going way up and those same Itialians coming here to go shopping. The drop in the dollar is really going to hurt any new gun prices I'm afraid.

But that's just my opinion and everyone has one of those too..

I dunno why anybody would be surprised at prices going up on guns or anything else, considering the fact that the dollar is currently falling on it's ass, and the price of fuel needed to get products from the manufacturer to the seller is about 3-4 times what it was a couple of years ago.

Suppose, that iron prices're likely to get on up there. Vittles and fuel are surely leading the way. Ere the beans go, there goeth the brass, as well - or, the like.

Shame as it is, we know what it is.

And, hey, be careful out there...
 
Yep and its not going to get any better. oil giant Exxon yesterday had a 3 hour press conference. Where they pretty much told the world they will not drill any more than they have been and are not expecting to go out and look for oil. They also said that expenses are going up and the cost of oil i s going to go up.

Gee Thanks
 
I don't think guns are worth more money. It's just that the dollar is worth less than what it used to be. :(
 
Gary, that is exactly the problem. Look at the relative price of gold, oil, gas etc. and you will see that they are tracking each other very closely. This indicates that the measurement is changing and not the intrinsic value is changing.

Basically our dollar is tanking in value and the fed is flooding the market with cheap dollars to stave off a recession.

Sort of like trying to rescue a drowning man with the spray of a fire hose.
