Why oh why?
« on: December 11, 2009, 11:32:06 AM »
This afternoon I stopped at a local owned shop in the Toledo area that is a nice place but sure is not known for low prices or customer service.
Many of the guns for sale had a "buy it now price" and a "after Dec 25" price.
The thing I don't understand is the after Christmas price was the low price. I had one rifle in my hands I would have purchased today if it were not for the lower future price.
It just seems to me that if you have a customer with cash in hand you would not want them to walk out the door.
The gun shop has run "sales" like this in the past... guess they must work or they would not repeat them

Sounds dumb to me. Even if you were going to lower prices later why would you discurage a sale now that was going to increase you profit.  ??? Those guys are nuts.

Kinda sounds the way distributers work. I've tried to buy from distributers, offer cash up front, and they wouldn't give me a lower price than what they offered dealers on a 30-60 or sometime's 90 day pay. I always figured cash up front should get the best deal. But, who the hell am I, just a gun show dealer. gypsyman

It's a shame because there are some very nice people there.
The range is always busy, I cannot think money should be an issue
