[QUOTE="ronny, post: 1716205, member: 8853"] There's value in buying a good used gun slightly below a good retail price, without sales tax and without paper. To the OP's question, yes, I believe guns have gone up over the past year. A few guns I've kept track of certainly have. However, most of these increases seem to be gunshow related. I'm stunned by some of the prices I see at gunshows. It's sort of become a game with me. I pick up a gun which is outrageous and purposely act dumb (easy for me) while I work my way around to letting him know how bad his price is. But, of course, he doesn't care. I recently bought a Sig P238. At the last gunshow I was at (the famous RK $12 fiasco) I saw 2 different dealers who had good selections of them, but both more than I had paid. One was Gun Broker Paul out of OKC. His price wasn't too bad and if I hadn't already had one, I would have tried to deal with him. I have forgotten the other dealers name, but his price on the same gun was, as I recall, $49 higher. My guess is that most store front dealers would have beaten either price. You just have to go talk to them. Ammo's even worse. [/QUOTE]
