Several years ago I would just call Buds when I wanted something. Seems like the dudes name was Derek, that I always dealt with. I would tell him what I was looking for and ask for best price, and get a better then listed price, then give him my card number. When he left so did better pricing and prices seem to have been creeping up ever since. But that is the norm. whether manufacturing or retailing, when a company gets to a certain size it becomes very profit oriented. Nothing wrong with that. you have the option to buy from them or find a new supplier. It's the way a free market works. I only wish I owned one of those companies that was in a position to raise prices just to increase my income.

Just don't expect Buds to send a new rifle to your gunsmith... Bought a bolt gun from them and told them to ship it to my gunsmith as to get the barrel threaded, new trigger installed, mounted in new stock, etc and they shit all over that and said no can do. They mandated that they send it to my FFL first and then it was up to me to ship it to my gunsmith for work. I replied with "My FFL is my gunsmith..."
Dead deal right then and there - |

He shouldn't have told Buds any unnecessary details. They probably just skimmed the email, saw the word 'gunsmithing' and sent a canned response telling him no. |

Was all he would say. I asked him, "Depending on what?" If it comes from Buds I'm charging you $50. Apparently Bud's retail prices are a lot cheaper than even his wholesale, which doesn't surprise me. Though if I were him I'd start buying from Bud's instead of my wholesalers. |

You do realize that Bud's doesn't stock a lot of the shit they list on their website, right? They order from a distributor after you place your order which is why it sometimes takes a long fucking time to get something from Bud's. They have very little overhead, unlike your local shop. That's how they undercut everyone's prices. If your local shop priced their guns the same as Bud's, they'd be out of business.

I have bought quite a few guns from Buds, it's cheaper for me to drive to the store and pick it up in person becuase most local ffl want $30 or more to transfer. And one of the odder rules of Buds is I can't buy something off the shelf in store for the online price. Exact same gun with plenty in stock but I have buy online wait 2-3 for it to ship 30 minutes up the road and come back in and pay for it.

Why do you all go to Bud's when you have us? Aren't you the guys that added a few extra dollars to a guy's order for no reason, then when he brought it up you said something along the lines of "it's just a few dollars, if you don't like it go elsewhere"? I think it had something to do with a refund. That was a fun thread. |

Cute. You do realize that Bud's doesn't stock a lot of the shit they list on their website, right? They order from a distributor after you place your order which is why it sometimes takes a long fucking time to get something from Bud's. They have very little overhead, unlike your local shop. That's how they undercut everyone's prices. If your local shop priced their guns the same as Bud's, they'd be out of business. I don't know why this shit is so hard for some people to understand but hey, fuck the gun store for trying to keep the lights on, right? Quote HistoryQuoted:

local gun shop has a giant sign >$60 to transfer from Buds< I asked about transfers from Buds at a local gunshop. The dude behind the counter went into some unhinged rant attacking not only Buds, but Amazon and even capitalism. I told him if they could offer competitive prices, maybe Buds wouldn't be putting them out of business. He turned red and started screaming. I guess they didn't want my business Cute.

ETA: the gun store I used to use wants $800 for a USED Mossberg MVP .308, which is available from Bud's for less than $600 NIB. |
