Just wondering about pawnshops and if anyone can fill me in a bit. I've been wanting to get a used revolver. Do they haggle when buying? I've had someone tell me no in another thread, but it wasn't the main topic. I've got 2 by me and they both close at 7pm, is there a reason for this? Maybe someone shops for used guns more than me. Are pawnshops filled with deals on guns or is it once in a blue moon? I'm looking for a medium/large sized revolver. I went to one pawnshop and they had a Dan Wesson, probably a 15-2 6", for $599 if I remember right. I know you can get a S&W 686-6 for about $700... I look at it like one is used and one is new... Doesn't seem like that good of a deal, when you think of it as just new vs used and they're "generally" similar. I'm thinking that Dan Wesson isn't really a good deal to begin with. But maybe the other pawnshop will have other revolvers. (Might go this Thursday)
Side chat: I went to academy to look at a 10/22 that is on sale... If I can't find a used revolver soon maybe I will get that instead. While walking around I noticed they had a S&W 686-6 on sale... for $700. I couldn't check out the trigger or anything, but it felt great and I liked the sights. I was fairly bothered that the staff was trying to spin and slam the cylinder though. Wonder how long that's been going on for it. I also wonder about some of the machining marks inside the bullet holes, near the extractor. It looked kinda rough.
Thanks,
