at the same point, if they sold their stock of weapons, and probably the stock of guns that normally would have lasted them through February, then they needed to bank it, and ride the tide.Wodathunkit wrote:hate to see them have a record breaking December and be out of business by February

Not being an obvious sucker (not that I always avoid such, but it's easy now...) I'll be buying from those who simply ran out of stock. Know that some us will remember, if they as gun sellers tried to take unfair advantage...
Man oh man, will I remember!
Kudos to people who feel the way that you do, in reality what it will come down to is that people will once again shop price and buy from whoever is the cheapest and will pass by the small local dealers to save $20.00 while forgetting about the price gouging that took place.Abraham wrote:When the panic subsides (and it will) I'll remember who really tried to gouge us.

Hey Salty1...which model Ruger 22-45 do you have? I'm in the market and in the 972 area. Thanks!Salty1 wrote:We buy from 7 different distributors who for the most part are the distribution channels for mots manufacturers. Many of the big box stores purchase directly from the manuafcturers since they are spending big bucks, imagine how much Bass Pro, Cabellas and such spend to stock their stores so they would be a priority versus the small shops. We need to re-supply as we only have 3 guns left in inventory due to the buying rush, a LC9 with CT laser, a Kahr CM9 and a Ruger 22-45. The distributors have nothing except for hunting rifles and shotguns and low end handguns, even all the 5 shot revolvers are gone. The bottom line is that it will be months before we can get any inventory again, fortunatly our transfers have really picked up, people are spending crazy money on common firearms, if we had a store front we would be in big trouble trying to pay the rent......
