You must be either better looking or more convincing than me then... I sat down with one of the owners back in march and offered to pay cash, all up front, that day, looking for a 5-10% discount on a $1k sticker. He told me the gun would eventually sell to someone else for full list so he had no incentive to wiggle for me... maybe I shoulda shown a little more leg?
Friend of mine back in feb talked a $800 list price down to $600ish on a mossberg 590a1
