i'll say northern indiana. i don't want to piss off any one by naming names eewww eeewww, i gotta know...I'm northern indiana..IM me, and give me a hint, I could probably figure it out. My story is from the last Indy 1500. Not price related, just funny. Buddy with me trying to sell his glock 27 to a dealer. Dealer: What you got there? Buddy: Glock 27 - he then opens the box to show him. Dealer: What caliber? Buddy: 40 cal w/2 mags Dealer: Those high cap mags? Buddy: agh, its a baby glock, hold 9 rds, unless you add the extension. Dealer: Agh, don't think I'm interested...it doesn't have the rails.  Buddy: I didn't think any of the baby glocks had rails...there's not enough room. Dealer: oh, i think the new ones are now coming with rails ETA- What is sad, is they have the prices like that because there are going to be assclowns somewhere that don't know any better, and are uninformed and will pay that price. I would like to keep my business local, but if I find a deal over the internet thats $200, $300, $500 cheaper, you bet your ass I'm ordering it up, and I'll just do a transfer. |

I had a similar experience just today... Stopped by local sporting goods/firearm dealer, that is retiring and is offering everything on discount, to ask about a collapsable AR-15 stock.. He pulls out two stocks, one 6 position and one 4 position.. Sticker price on each was $99.95, but I would 20% off since he was going out of business.. I asked who the manufacturer was he replied "bushmaster" Hmm, a good deal for a $110 retail stock... Strangely the boxes didnt have BM printed on them anywhere and there were no instructions.. I got a parts number for the 6 position and headed home to see if I could confirm what good buy I thought I was going to get.. WELL, my 'good' deal turned out to be a GREAT deal, but only for him.. The stock was a Leaper and is selling for $59 on cheaper-than-dirt..
Im glad I did my research, I was willing to drop $80 for a BM.. brian |

That would be $668.38 US 1 Canadian Dollar = $.86 1 US Dollar = $1.17 Canadian The M900A sells for around $400-450 and $<$400 in some places, and $616 MSRP w/Surefire. That is a Canadian gouge, IMO  Welcome aboard, Eldage! |

Tulsa gun show, Oly Ultra-Match for $1500, msrp is $1074. Something else I noticed at the gun show, I did not see any real deals there. Kinda odd, it seemed to me that M1 Garands are or were kinda high. $675.00 for just ok condition examples.

Shit, that ain't nothing. A dealer by me has his Glocks marked for ~ $700!  I'll be damned if I know how this guy stays in business as all of his prices are that bad. He does (or soon to be did) have the only indoor range in the area so maybe that keeps the lights on but I can't figure out how he sells any guns or accessories?

in 1994, I bought one of the first 100 HK USPs in the US...and paid 750.00 plus tax!
On the bright side, it's the best gun I have ever owned, and I still carry it daily. Not one single malfunction of any sort. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Tripleneck/DSCF0423.jpg |

I think it's a combination of both, but also add in the "Wow! Factor". Alot of dealers price their inventory higher because in some cases, someone may walk in, see something that looks really "cool", and just have to have one right then and there. There is something to be said about impulse buying. These are the folks that see what they want, buy what they see, and don't take the time to research a cheaper source. As long as we have impulse buyers, I think we will continue seeing outrageous figures. |

1600 for a "pre ban" colt sp1 in south texas in 2005.
Castle nut, receiver ext, flash hider, all had surface rust. Grip was mangled with a dremel to remove the finger bump. Receiver was beat to shit with white gouges in several places. The uppers rear sight had some rust. The dealer pushing that crap was an idiot. I hope his last dying breath is spent trying to sell that peice of crap, and the second before his last heartbeat I hope the buyer gives him a big FU and walks over to another table with a nice RRA and plunks down the cash!  |

+1 Can't tell you how many times I've sworn never to go to a gun show again. Waste of time and money. I only go to handle and touch anymore. There's always the idiot selling an SKS with 30rnd mag for $450, or the dealer who puts $50 worth of TAPCO plastic on a $250 WASR and thinks he can sell it for $500+. Does it drive you crazy when they talk to you as if you've never seen or held or touched a gun before in your entire life? Never heard of an AR15 or a Glock or a threaded barrel? That drives me nuts. Hint to sellers: Don't assume every potential customer is as stupid as you are! |

Pawn shop in Plano, Tx had a Colt AR-15 for $1499, I dont remember exactly which model, but the guy told me it was a pre-ban. This was around 12/04 and I promptly informed him that there was no longer a ban on these, but he didnt seem to understand. I suppose you still cant get the Colt w/ pre ban features w/out buying the LE models, but come on, a new RRA or Bushmaster is easily under a grand. He didnt seem to interested in the news.

Wades also had a Colt 6920 for $1900 in 2005. That is where I bought my LMT lower...probably for too much $. One cool thing about Wade's indoor range. On at least one Friday evening of the month, they would hold indoor black gun competitions. Some in the dark with combat lights. I never was able to try it, but it sure sounded like fun. edit: They also had two sequentially serial numbered AR15 A3 pencil barreled Colts only being sold as the pair for BIG $$. They did however have a National Security brand gun safe (used) being sold for a reasonable price. |

some of your guys' outrageous prices is not that outragous. depends on where you live. i mean if an AK is going for $300 on GunBrokers and only 2 gun dealer is within 100 miles of you, and you paid $400 for you AK, I don't think that is outragous pricing.
As for me I am lucky I live in the great state New Hampshire where the price I pay is always around GunBroker.com |

if you're talking about the one by the police station, their prices have always been like that on guns, since i started buying guns 10 years ago. Get into a conversation with them sometimes about guns, and you'll quickly determine that they have NO knowledge as well as gouging prices. |
