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

python · Aug 30, 2020

Between shipping and transfer fees, you won't end up saving much. Stuff happens. Keep the gun. No dealer will give you paid. For a relatively inexpensive gun, $150 is a big spread. Live and learn.

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...

^^THIS, plain and simple. We've all been there so put on your big boy pants, accept it and move on.

Thats what I said earlier, $150 is nothing in the world of firearms.
So yeah, I am done try to match and complain.
Thank you

Worried about $150? That’s ammo for one range trip these days.

And FYI, I did do my research!!! muhahahaa! :-P

Next time check with a local IP from the map above. MOST of them are reputable and mentioning MDS may get you a break on cost or fees. And don’t forget to apply for your Designated Collectors Letter...it’s free and avoids the “one every 30 day” game.

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

Get a designated collector letter. That'll let you get more than one at the same time.

Art3 · Aug 30, 2020

There will always be better deals out there somewhere. Enjoy your purchase for what you bought, not what you paid.

bmorestance · Aug 30, 2020

I got denied because I did not have notarized.
I am in process of doing it now.
Thanks!

Also, I got the FFL Cert they are using and they are using AIM Surplus Address and FFL info.

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?

When pigs fly, ain't gonna happen. Suck it up and enjoy.

If things go the way I suspect, pigs will be flying large squadrons in a couple months and all firearms will be worth 50-100% more than they are today.

Enjoy the Glock, OP. They are great pistols.

You could be right, but I don’t think that will happen. Trump has it locked up and China will stop funding the protests the day after the election. We’ll then be back to salad days for a few years. In fact, I’m thinking of selling my BNIB 6721s now while the price is high. Prices will fall sharply after the election or leading up to it.

Well said. Enjoy that firearm.

If one is good than two are better. Get both than resell one. By the time you pay shipping and restocking fees you will keep more of your money by reselling the one. Internet gun sellers are in serious competition. Some will offer a price match guarantee. I will look at as many places as possible to get the best price. I am frugal to put it nicely.

Jmurman · Sep 2, 2020

Once you take possession you won’t have that remorse. Just enjoy it and in a couple of months you’ll see those prices higher than what you paid.

rooster · Sep 2, 2020

Once the gun transfers you own it. It's nolonger a new gun. Of course you can sell it back to the store. I'm sure they'll buy it. Albeit as a "used gun".

lemmdus · Sep 2, 2020

Learn a lesson bud, if you are going to buy on line you check every where before hitting that buy button. Secondly, do you price research, pre-scam-demic and civil war, and find out if its way over priced. Finally, I find after I buy something, there probably might be someone selling cheaper. Sometimes you win, some times you lose. Enjoy your new pistol and I hope you can find ammo for it

Crocman · Sep 2, 2020

As others have said, enjoy your new pistol! And, rest assured, most of us have a good deal more than $150 in guns and gear laying around that we probably could have bought cheaper or not at all. I’ve got several holsters that qualify, a bag or two, and certainly one or two pistols that were “cutting edge” (with a price to match).

Samlab · Sep 2, 2020

This is simple....150 more seems unusual. You bought it you own it. Some sell at a loss for long term inventory in hopes of the purchaser buying other items. 150 says wo shipping costs and taxes you purchased customer service if needed. Never second guess yourself, 150 to me is a used gun easy. Enjoy your new Smyrna Ga gun.

ralph.mclean · Sep 2, 2020

It's not worth the trouble or the expense or the hassle.

Next time, price shop thoroughly, then make your best deal.

And if you find a good FFL near you, treasure him/her, and send them extra business....
