[QUOTE="skruball253, post: 961158, member: 6704"] Wow so much to reply too. 1st How long ago was this? 2nd...Actual merchandise pricing as going to be way different then what people would give you for the same thing. I see this all the time people come in with a gun, most of them are very nice and expect a lot of money out of it. It may have only been fired once or twice, BUT its used. Why would someone pay more for a used gun when they can buy brand new cheaper? You wouldn't pay 25K for an used 2010 car with 10 thousand miles on it when you can buy it brand new for 17 thousand would you?? Again this goes back to profit...I think of it kinda like a pawn shop. The goal is to make money off it. In order to do that you want to pay as less as possible for it then sell it for more than you paid. Ammo...this is pretty easy...kinda. Of course Wal Mart's ammo is going to be cheaper. They buy MILLIONS of rounds at a time, which drives the price down. BUT local stores get it from suppliers and again have to make profit. NOW with that, some of the prices on ammo.....:rolleyes2 [/QUOTE]
