PS I work for a local gun store, I swear I'm not just talking out my butt!
That's a good point as well. I frequent the local gun shops here and I usually only buy used. I always try to talk them down. But sometimes it just is what it is. I once talked a local mom & pop gun shop down on a gun and later found out that they had only made $30.00 on the deal. I felt bad and I can't figure out how they would stay in business making me deals like that. And if they are willing to hold a gun for me till I can come up with the money I don't even try to talk them down.
