Found a Better Deal...What should I do?

bmorestance · Aug 30, 2020

Hey,
I wanted to see if anyone has suggestions for me regarding a firearm purchase.
I purchase a Glock pistol the other day.
It just shipped and should arrive soon.
However, still browsing the net, I found the same firearm for $150 cheaper.
I was thinking maybe I could return the original and purchase the cheaper one? I never returned a firearm before, is that allowed?
Im guessing with a restocking fee?
Maybe I could sell? But I would want to get same value.
What do you think?
Should i stick with what i got or buy the sale deal?
What can I do!? I am cheap! lol!
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Edit: I contacted the shop but returns are not allowed.

So whats the chances of me selling back to a gunshop for what I got it for?

Blaster is right. Probably should’ve done your price shopping before you purchased.

The questions your asking would be answered from the seller. Some restocking fees are 25% + return shipping an FFL fees. Buy the other one an sell one = profit. Not like shops have a ton of stock. Really want to cry? Join GSSF an get Blue Label prices.

Yup.

Did the same thing with a bid on some mags on Fleabay. Kind of high starting bid but I was the first bidder. Then I checked to see if I could find them back in stock elsewhere. Yup, at almost half the bidding price.

Bright side, I won the bid... :lol2:

What's that old saying...look before you leap! :rolleyes:

Buy both.

At the rate things are going, you'll be able to sell them for a lot more money in a couple of months.

You knew the answer before you asked. Or you should have.

Good news is if you decide to sell it, it should move fast in this market...if you price it reasonably.

Buyers remorse is a terrible thing. But that’s all on the buyer.

I say take it home and make it your own. Shoot it like you (over)paid big bucks for it...

Agree- no Shop will do that for you. You paid what you felt it was worth and should be pleased. Good news is firearms don’t go bad, out of style, or depreciate like say used cars. A Glock is always a Glock 1 year, 5 years, or 50 years from now and carries value as such.

Yea, I thought I did my research. I nearly hit every google page and wiki type site.
But your right, im sure it was standing there all along.

Question on that... How does it work in MD with buying two pistols at same time? Thx

Thanks I appreciate your answer.
I need to just own up to it and make it my own like you said :-)

Post it in the classifieds here for $50 more than you paid for it.

bmorestance · Aug 30, 2020

Thanks

The burried question - You may purchase ?Two pistols at the same time , ie same transaction , from same local FFL . Then 60 day wait for next one . ( Without Designed Collector )

Really comes down to a moral and ethical matter. Some people just know right from wrong right off the bat.

" A man's word to anything, even his own destruction, is his honor."

You and the first dealer entered an agreement and the dealer apparently has kept his end of the deal. So you keep your end. Simple as that.

Sometimes, a lower price can be indicative of lower quality or service but if this 2nd deal is a good one then past it on to a friend or shooting buddy.
