[QUOTE="bambihunter, post: 4341895, member: 342"] Outside of new guns, I seldom buy from local gun stores because I rarely buy "normal" stuff. I get most of mine on Gunbroker and even with their huge volume, some of have taken years to get. I set up a saved search and it notifies me when a listing matches my search. I'd never find what I was after if I had to constantly hit the stores. I've got around a dozen items with less than 150 ever made. I get mine transferred to a local pawn shop with a single owner/operator (D&P Pawn). He only carries maybe 20 - 30 guns at any given time. I've only bought a couple things from him in the 20 years I've done business with him, and it was actually tools. He used to be $10 but he recently had to raise to $25. He really takes care of me and when I have expensive stuff he'll lock it up in his safe for me until I can get over to pick it up. If you ever visit, tell him "the 10mm man" / Mike sent you. I would NEVER do business with a place that charges $50 for a transfer, especially knowing their reasoning. I maybe could understand a surcharge for transfers on new items they have in stock, but not at 2 - 5x the cost of other places. [/QUOTE]
