Firing Line's New Transfer Fees-Price Gouging

[sneakerd]

Keep punching Mike! You might graze someone eventually!

the dealer doesn't have to do transfers. It became normal when the business advises they offer transfers

So this means they can charge what is felt by them to be fair market prices for the service . The OP stated that they and the 3rd party vendor are the ones that delayed the purchase , I fail to see how any of that falls to the shop facilitating the transfer to be responsible for .

Keep buying online from vendors with no stake locally and pretty soon your going to be SOL with nobody left to transfer stuff .

Or remember the good ol daze when transfers were $75!

I ask anyone here to name a single shop -anywhere- where you can still get NIB 5.56 cal AR15s for approx $1500. (When we can get them).

Since you asked. The Front Range Gun Club in Loveland. They havent marked a single thing up that I have seen, and they have been delivering AR's to people.

I take your word for it- but I wonder why we haven't heard anything about their comparatively bargain prices here on the forum? What price point was their last NIB 5.56 AR? When did they sell it? I've shot up there many times, and their range is 2nd to none.

Stopped in today just to pick up some grease & look around. Didn't see anything ridiculously priced. Matter of fact all prices looked pretty good considering everything going on around us. PMAGs under $40. The goons behind the counters were fairly well behaved & I soon got over my fear of them. I did feel gouged, however when I asked for the price on a $40 mag that was out of its package. It was a Bersa 9 rnd 380 mag (Gander sells them for $50 when they have them). They sold it to me for $10. I considered telling them where to stick that mag, but in these crazy times I swallowed my pride and parted with old man Hamilton. I don't think I will ever go there again.
I'm sure sneakerd will be on to defend their practices.
Also stopped by another LGS and have to admit I felt sorry for them. Damn near out of stock and no clue when they will receive new stock. I fear some of our smaller shops are facing tough times & some will not survive.

Well hopefully they banked that Inflated profit from last month. Sure it will tide them over indefinitely.

Sam (sroz) is not my favorite customer. As a matter of fact, I go out of my way to screw him over every time he comes in. We circle him like the goons we are and taunt, berate and bully him. We don't understand why he keeps coming back, must be a co-dependence issue. He doesn't know it yet, but that mag we tricked him into buying will blow up his pistol! By the way- we got in some CCI Mini-mag 22LR today- I was able to trick a number of customers into buying that crappy ammo!

Damn. You screwed me again! I was seriously looking for 22lr while I was there. I can't believe I frickin missed it!
