I have supported a local gun shop in my home town for years and have made several in store purchases over the years; handguns, long guns and ammo.
They have gotten big time and set big tables up at gun shows. I was interested in a handgun, but did not have cash on hand. I thought "no problem" I'll pick up some cash and pop in to the store next week for the purchase. When I got to the store I was told that the same hand gun was $65 more. When I asked why, the clerk said they have gun show prices, internet prices and in store prices. In store being the most expensive.
I told them I'd been a customer for years and supported there shop when it was small and local, was there any way I could get the gun show price. The clerk told me there was NO HAGGLING! Haggling my ass, they will never get another dime from me.
Am I wrong to feel this way?
