Why do people like Cabela's and Bass Pro so much? They seem overpriced?

[QUOTE="Okie1907, post: 2875724, member: 40509"] I went into Cabela's on my lunch break today and went in with an open mind and really looked at a lot more stuff than I originally had. I still think they are overpriced on most things mainly guns because that is what I know. Also accessories and gear too. Ammo could be better but it isnt bad. They had way more selection than when I was in there a few months ago. They pretty much have everything you could want when it comes to ammo. Hunting, defensive and of course plinking. They had a lot of boutique rounds as well which is something you dont typically see in retail stores. The Gun Library had some decent deals and some big rip offs as well. They must be shelling out some good money to the people who are selling their guns or just totally ripping people off. I saw some pretty good deals and some terrible ones. I saw an ok shape Smith Wesson Model 10-2 inch for under 700 which isnt bad. On the other hand I saw a taurus 1911 for 724 and a Taurus TCP for 299!!! That is just ridiculous. There were a lot of interesting old guns that you just dont see anymore. Not even at gun shows so that was nice. The people were freindly to me, more so than last time. I think there were a lot of newer guys that just didnt know what was what the last time I went in there. I had a way better experience this time. Also they had a different group of guys working, the last set of people were all older and really didnt take me seriously when I asked to look at things. This newer group while still older were a lot friendlier and wanted to help me. Huge selection of gear a lot of cheap stuff that youd find at walmart and a lot of higher quality things that youd usually have to order on line so that is pretty nice. All and all I do like it. It is nice to have I just wont be buying too much there. Id have to really want something that no one else has or buy something on sale. Ammo had some decent sales today so that is something to look into. Again I just dont know why that would be your go to place when there are locally owned shops that sell things for cheaper and have probably better knowledge on the product. [/QUOTE]
