First off I do not work for Vances or anything like that but I was impressed with what I saw there today. I had a few minutes to kill before dinner tonight so I stopped in at Vances just to have a look. That impulse cost me almost $900.00 because I walked out with a used Sig229 and used G19. The 229 had the integral laser recoil rod and both had night sights and hi-caps so I figured they were good if not fair deals. But there are still a couple of pieces that I consider deals: SA Champion $400, AMT Hardballer $350, and a bunch of PD traded SIG 226-9 in .357 for 599with CT laser grips. I saw the sweet PD trades first and that's when I realised that I was going to walk out with less money than I had walked in with. The other thing that was nice was that there were about 2 sales reps per customer so the reps had more time to talk guns without worrying about the next guy in line. I know sometimes/most times they are very busy which is great but it can kinda feels like a traffic jam. Can't wait to try these out over the weekend...so happy

I used to have an AMT Hardballer. Looked brand new when I bought it, unfortunately it didn't function brand new, I would shy away if I were you. With that being said, I wouldn't give $3.50 for one. I've been to Vance's once, they seemed to have some good deals, I would buy from them. |

I'm well over a hundred miles from Vance's. But I've still been there about 8 or 9 times and most of the time I have left with less money than I started with. 5 times I purchased a gun from them. They have about the best selection of firearms that I have seen without going to a gunshow.  |
| I've been to Vance's three times, the store had atleast 5 people in it and they make you feel like you're the only customer in the store. Longest wait I think I ever had in the store was 5 minutes before they come up to you and say what is on sale, have you seen the flyer, these are police trade ins. Very courteous and professional. I wish they'd sponsor this site |
To correct you, they are in Hebron. I live in Hebron and I visit their store about once a week 
|
Ha! I live in Granville, and I visit them twice a week! Got ya beat.

I bought my Savage .223 at Vance's for $ 419. I like driving to Buckeye since it is only 45 minutes each way. Vance's handles suppressor/subgun sales for a fee of $ 75. Further away, I like Kames in North Canton, Fin-Fur in Ashland and Olde English Outfitters in Tipp City. Olde English |
You probly have more money than me also. Speaking of Buckeye, I should have gone there today when I was out and about. Looks like Ill be headin there tomorrow!!! |
I doubt it...I'm selling sperm and plasma to pay for gas and my Ramen noodles!

| I've been to vance's 100's of times over 20 years and boy has that store changed. Every time I go in there I have to wait an hour to buy my gun. (Im sure they like that because I always end up with $50 worth of crap I didn't really need). But on the other hand I have seen used guns priced more expensive then I have got them new at vance's. |
