    Default So I Went To A Few Pawn Shops Today....

    .......Trying to find a cheap Remington 870 12 gauge. Are you kidding me? Who the hell would pay those prices. It didn't matter how beat up they were, they were marked more than or equal to a brand new one in the box. I think I can hold out until someone post one up here or on Colorado Gun Market. I don't know how they stay in business and who in the hell would be dumb enough to pay those kind of prices. It almost makes me wonder who they are willing to sell to.

    I'll be posting one for sale in a couple of weeks. My brother is bringing it back to me from out of state.

    A lot of shops will haggle with price. I've seen a brand new glock with nights and all accessories sell for $425 OTD .

    I hear ya. I poked my head in about 10 different places earlier this year when i was looking for a semi-auto 12g and thought the same exact thing. But then I remembered, a large portion of the general public are sheep and ill informed, impatient, or lazy, so it's just a matter of time before a sap walks in.

    Speaking of ridiculous prices coupled with crappy availability... I went to 3 different Walmarts this morning looking for Federal 9mm. None of them had it, they just was WWB and a crappy selection of everything else, AND they raised their prices AGAIN. Last May, Federal 9mm was $9.50 for a box of 50, so I bought a whole bunch of boxes. Now it is $12.50 a box! Holy crap!

    But it gets better... Then I went to Dick's in the Chapel Hills Mall, and they stopped selling handgun ammo altogether.

    I sold mine here about a year ago for 250 bucks.

    Search around here as well as gunbroker and armslist.

    You went to the wrong ones. The pawn just east of Windermere and Littleton
    has decent prices on some of their stuff. The pawn off 26th and Sheridan has decent prices. Gotta haggle with them though.

    I was just at that Dick's last weekend and they had plenty of pistol ammo. I wonder if they pulled it all or sold it all for cheap.

    I've looked at a few pawn shops and I agree that most of the time the prices are ridiculous. But then again, I wonder who the people are that are willing to buy them.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

    I went pawn shopping for guns in the springs about 6 months ago. I didn't buy anything and I haven't bothered going back. A used gun is not worth more than or the same as a new one.
