The problem is there seems to be all indians & no cheif at gander.

So you look at a rifle with a $550 tag on it & ya say, "how bout $525 on this one?" & you get "ohh, no I'm sorry sir the prices are as marked, nothing I can do."


Cabelas is better this way.

I found a brown laminate stocked M70 FWT in 30-06 in the gun library room at a cabelas once. There was a girl working the desk in the room. I think the hang tag said $500 which was actually priced to move, it wasn't going to sit long.

I was walking out of the room when I muttered over my shoulder without the slightest of confidence "Give ya four twenny five for that goofy looking featherweight."

I expected laughter. Instead she paused, hmm'd & haww'd... "Well, I really shouldn't... You know I can get five." I said "yeah, maybe tomorrow or next week or something, you'll get five."

She says "well ok, i'll go four & a quarter on the featherweight but you're get'n a steal."

I gave that one to my dad.


I like cabelas, they'll deal.


Something clever here.
