What prices are ya'll seeing?

$279.99 + tax = 302.39 Out the door at Larry's P&P in Huntsville, AL. . SD9 and I think the 40's are the same price.
 
These NIB prices are killing resale.....I have been trying forever to sell my Sigma 9VE kinda hard when you can get the improved version for under $300. To me the gun is just not worth giving up for under $250 where else can you get a perfectly functioning 16rd 9mm for that much?

Plus if I ever do sell it most likely ill just buy a SD9VE to go with my SD40

This is true. I saw one guy on anther forum trying to get $350 for a box stock sw40ve. Don't see him getting that for it. I also saw a sw"g"ve for $300 don't remember if it was a 9 or 40, but someone will snag that up quick.
 
Its hard to ask for $250 on a used 9VE even with 4 mags when you can get a brand new VE or SDVE for $299 NIB at Academy. But I just cant let it go for less than $250. That Sigma was the best deal I ever got on a firearm I picked it up at Academy when they were doing the 2 free mags or $50 for $279 list price. I grabbed the mags considering how expensive they are.

I don't understand the charge for a back groundcheck when buying from a LGS. Sure when a dealer does the paper work for a gun bought someplace else like Buds but when buying in shop? I have never had an extra charge in all the years I have been buying guns. Perhaps they are figuring the cost in with gun. Anyway if a dealer stuck on an extra charge to do the background check I would turn around and walk out the door.
 
got my SD40 VE this week. $289 no tax/free shipping. +$30 transfer fee/background. sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com put my first 80 rounds through it yesterday. Federal 180g FMJ shot great, I love it.

As soon as I saw this I went to that website to try to pick one up since none of the academy stores around here have any in stock. Apparently neither does sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore. It's listed as temporarily out of stock. :-( I finally got the cash for it today and can't find one anywhere! It's so frustrating!
 
I checked all the Academy stores in my area (4) and they were all gone.

I bet that when they are back in stock the price will be higher. Any gun with a magazine capacity greater than ten is going to cost more now.

Today I bought a NIB SD9VE for $319.99 from MaHoneys a local sporting goods store. Four boxes ammo for $12.99 ea. So ready for the range! :)
 
I just bought mine yesterday for $279.99 at Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna, Ga. They price matched Cherokee Guns out in Canton. It's the SD40VE by the way.

I finally got mine from academy this morning. $317 out the door. That is, after I waited about an hour because the FBI system was down from being overloaded with people trying to get background checks.
 
S&W SD9VE. Bought mine December 9, 2012 at Sportsman's Warehouse here in Nampa, Idaho for $329.99 + 6% state sales tax. SD40VE were the same price.
 
My LGS just jacked up the price today from $289 for the SDVE to $329!! YIKES! In fact all the guns jumped up about $30 to $40. WTH??
 
supply and demand is up right now. People are trying to sell AR's for 2-3x what they are worth. People are buy ammo like there is no tomorrow.

Yeah, I'm having flashbacks to a few years ago. No ammo to be found and what did hit the shelf was gone in an hour. A box of 9mm Blazer aluminum was going for $19.99. On December 31st 2012 my local gun store had it on sale for $8.99. That's gone. I hate to see everyone in a panic and freaking out, we do it to ourselves. There is a handgun I was looking at buying over the past month that was $389 (everyday price) and now after the new year it's $429. I guess the gun store made my mind up for me. I'm not just going to give them my hard earned money so they can make more profit. Maybe things will calm down in a year or two like before.
 
Pay for a background check?

I got the FFL transfer (from another place) did a background check which was answering a lot of computer questions and the check itself was all online which amounted to pushing a computer key. All for $20. Tacking on charges is tacky and I'd be P.O.d too.
