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

[QUOTE="Okie1907, post: 2904332, member: 40509"] I went in there today to buy some premium ammo which Cabela's does stock a good amount of and i asked one of the guys in the gun library and none of their guns are consignment. They are all bought buy Cabela's either locally or at a different location and shipped in. He says sometimes the guns are high because the buyer at a Cabela's paid to much for it. That is all he would tell me. I will say while their regular sales people arent the most knowledgeable of people but they are quite nice and havent had anyone talk down to me. Being a younger guy (25) this happens quite a bit. Luckily I have some gray hair coming in thanks to the lovely low oil prices so I may be treated seriously sooner than Id like... While I dont care for their prices most of their shops are really nice with good selection. Their ammo selection can be beat by none. I also like their pro second amendment stance they take so that is nice too. They dont cave on stuff that other retailers might. Granted other retailers were probably not making as much as we would have thought off guns so it was just in their best interest to get some anti gun support. I would hope that even if Cabela's had low profits from guns and ammo that they would still take the same stance. I am sure they would they give a decent amount to the NRA each year which is nice to hear. [/QUOTE]
