Do you have a receipt showing the amount you paid for the transfer?
I'd say they're gonna pay a price right here faaaar in excess of their lousy $15. Serves 'em right, and that's the power of this forum and all of these new friends.
As Irving posted 2 threads above, posting receipt would be even better.
Even if Grandpa's Pawn&Guns refund $15, I would not go there to transfer.
What's next? Maybe they might charge me $25 extra, because I do not live in Longmont?
When you tell Buds, don't expect them to be too shocked or look to take any action or even care about it as much as we do. Remember, they're one of the few stores on the grid for nationwide sales so they must have hundreds of FFLs on file. I'm sure they'll take the report and make a note of it but don't expect much more (but I WOULD still tell them). The real action will come from the dozen or more calls and emails Granpa will get from us. Maybe even Grandma will kick him to the couch for this!
Anyway, where is Green Mtn Guns? Do they have a website? I've never been impressed with the prices at Buds.
Yet you were arguing with me about how Mel is just a good ol' boy who just takes advantage of opportunities he comes across? I wish I could prove to y'all what a lowlife he really is. Grandpa's Pawn ain't nothing compared to him.Quote:

I only posted for a heads up, I appreciate all of the support and the responses to the post. I was caught flatfooted after picking up my pistol . I was in the day before letting them know that I would be receiving a transfer the next day, and nothing was said about charging more. He was just pissed that I found a price at much less than he could get at dealer wholesale. Maybe like me he has cooled down, Not. Fifteen Dollars does not turn my life around Cheat me once shame on you, Cheat me twice shame on me.
Again thanks for the response and for the new leads on good dealers. Time to move on, Your a great bunch of guys!

Green Mountain Guns is a good dealer in my book. I do many of my transfers there for convience however the fee is 35.00. As far as prices go they often have a good deal in thier consignment section. Seems that thier consignment pistols fly out the door. As far as new prices go they have a some deals cheaper than Buds. However I feel if one looks hard enough on Gunbroker, Auction Arms and Guns America you will always find a better deal. Part of the fun in finding a gun in my book is getting the best deal. I found that there are some companies local to Buds that are pretty competive with them http://www.jetguns.com/ and http://guns-ammo-louisville.com/ and I see these 2 shops beat Buds on prices all the times. Jets consistentily does, not a big dealer but so far in 5 purchases I have saved a significat mount money over Buds. In one M1A purchase the diffrence between Jet and Buds was $300.00. Jet Guns has free shipping just like Buds. Also NO credit card fees unlike BUDs who charges 3%. I like to use my DEBIT card= less time having to run to the post office etc. Here are thier GB listings as well http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Sel...px?User=616461 and http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Sel...px?User=496389
The website is fairly new, so they probably don't have everything on it just yet, but here it is:

Green Mountain Guns is a decent shop. I've bought a few things there, and most of the guys there are pretty cool. Like most shops, they tend to ignore new people to talk to the regulars, but that's nothing new with gun shops.
I give a big thumbs up to The Shooting Shop in Castle Rock. The owner Ty is a good dude, and while doesn't have tons in stock, he can order stuff for good prices, and can do FFL transfers
