Hey all,
I wanted to see what other people feel about this practice. I recently was shopping arround for a handgun. I like to look at a lot of different places for my firearms. There is this one gunshop that had a large selection, but when I asked to see a particular firearm, the prices were all about 100-150 USD more than average. Now after looking it over, the salesperson would say "we can always take 100$ off the price for you on that one". The next handgun "I can take 50$ off that one for you" and so on.
I don't know if this is a good sales technique or not. I can see how something like this might "hook" a newcommer but someone accustomed to purchasing firearms might find it annoying? I don't know but I did.
Wound up purchasing from another shop that had fair pricing already marked as is. Funny thing is it "seemed" cheaper seeing it at that store even though I know it was an average price. I even asked if they could take "$50" off for me LOL but they wouldn't. They did give me a free bottle of hoppes 9 though!
