Quote HistoryQuoted: Not a thing. Never had anything good in stock at my local stores Yep I stopped trying. Employees would snatch up anything and everything. I wondered why all the cool shit would have a couple in stock, yet none of it was ever on the floor. I finally busted them on the mini bikes deal. I think it was $80 for a $400 motor bike. Stock showed they had 8 in stock. Nothing on the floor, just a big gaping 2 pallet deep hole. I had a manager check in the back, and sure enough she came back and told me they were in fact in the back on pallets, but that they were being purchased by an employee. I told her that I've got money now and I'd like to actually buy a couple, but manager said no, and that they were technically already spoken for. I also wanted a takedown 10/22, and similar happened. As soon as the post dropped, I rushed in to buy one of the 4 that had just clearanced, but despite them being there for full price the day before, they were gone and unfindable by manager. Knowing that I couldn't compete with employees despite getting there 20 minutes after deals would pop up, I gave up on it. I almost got one of the weatherbys as well, but that didn't work out either I think those were $200? Maybe $250? Saw plenty of them on sale on the local gun board for full MSRP after that, lol |

Brand new in the factory box rifle (with scope) for $ 53.04 (sales tax) out the door. Minus the $50 rebate for a new $3.04 total cost after the rebate! Bought a matched pair (30.06) for my son & I and they both shoot very accurate! Best Deal Evar'!  Bigger_Hammer

Best deal?
Some asshole on this website posted on a Sunday night about 8 years that Walmart had several rifles on clearance. I talked my wife into going with at 9pm that same night. We walked out with 4 new guns. Ruger American Ranch 243 Ruger American Ranch 308 Marlin Mag Fed 22 SA Rifle Mossberg Auto Shotgun (I forget the model) $600 for all 4. The lady thought I was out of my mind when I said I'll take them all. Still never even fired a single one of those guns. |

I think the best deal was some Federal Gold Medal 12ga. Think it was $2-$3 a box and I got 5 cases worth. It was one of the only stores where I got a helpful and knowledgeable employee. She actually explained that they had an area with stuff that they were told to pull from the floor and it ends up just sitting there. If I had more time I would have asked to see it all. I also grabbed several 1187's. Most of what I bought was ammo. I did alright but it started getting to where nothing was accurate and the employees at my store had zero desire to track stuff down. It stopped being worth my time.

Quote HistoryQuoted: 420rd cans of M855 for $125 IIRC. Then it went even lower and I got one for $84 I think. I found 4 for $32 each when wallys was clearancing them out. The inventory said the store had 4, but they were nowhere to be found and I accidentally stumbled on the store manager when I was looking for an employee to help me look. Turned out the sporting goods employee had hid them behind the life jackets intending to buy them himself. So, instead of just buying 1 I bought all 4... |

About 40 of those Nikon Buckmaster scopes for stupid dirt cheap...

I bought 3 and within minutes the counter was swamped . should have bought 10 that day...and most likely could have. I'll kick myself over that for a LOOONG time. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Got a few many years ago but haven't looked at it recently. Got one of the $250 or $300 Marlin 45-70s, got the cheap Mossberg, the Ruger American, Savage BMag, and lots of ammo. I got the Marlin at $299. Then got the $50 rebate. Then used the $50 rebate to buy 12 gauve slugs for$3 per box. Then got a $2 per box rebate on the slugs. Then sold the slugs for $4 per box at the gunshow. I figure I'm out of pocket about $154 on the Marlin. |

"I also wanted a takedown 10/22, and similar happened. As soon as the post dropped, I rushed in to buy one of the 4 that had just clearanced, but despite them being there for full price the day before, they were gone and unfindable by manager." The way that I was able to get around that little sticking point was channel a Karen speak to the manager type. I would tell the manager(or regular sporting goods person), that I would do them a favor, and get on the phone and inform LE and the BATFE about missing firearms at an FFL dealer so it could be look into, as missing firearm were a big safety concern. They would say they would "look" again. Then come back about 10-15 min later with said item(s) and make up a story about being buried or not in the right place. Worked the couple times I did it.

Mostly ammo.
Several 420-rd cans of M855 or M193 for less than $100 each. I think the lowest may have been $45. A 500-rd brick of Rem-UMC 45 ACP FMJ for $35. ZQI 7.62x51 20-rd boxes for $2 each. ZQI 9mm 50-rd boxes for $5 each. Also got some Goodyear AT 275/70R17 tires for my GMC Z71 for $75 each, with FREE mounting and lifetime balance / road hazard / rotation. Got the wife a nice triple crock-pot combo for $15. Several USA-made yard tools (shovels, pick-axe, post-hole digger, pitchfork, etc.) for $10 or less each. Biggest fiasco was when I was trying to find a couple of $125 laser rangefinders that were marked down to $20. Brickseek said store had 75 in stock. Store inventory handheld said the same. Couldn't find a single one. Even the head store manager looked. He got a little agitated when I mentioned how that was going to look on a loss prevention report, over $9000 in sporting goods gone. A few months later, that same store "lost" about 5 or 6 DPMS Sportical carbines. I don't think that manager is there anymore. Ah, I miss the WM Clearance Glory Days. |
