Stopped in one today cause I was in the area.
Honestly my first time in one.. They've always had a rep for high prices.
I did once buy some Rem9mm from them online several years ago that was a good deal but that's a rarity.
Sign outside says "going out of business, 70% off entire store"
Hmm, ok walking in I noticed the Now Hiring sign is still up.. rly?
They have a wall near the 1st register with department %'s off.. I actually didn't see anything more then 60% off, guns 30%.
It's a shame they're going out of business because the prices on some of their stuff is ALMOST competitive now.. almost.
They've pushed what's left of the store forward it's about 1/3rd full, A Big sign says last 11 days.
So I skip the fishing and clothing.. check out everything else with a slow pace.. hmm 1k 223 brass for 189, 50% off wow what a deal.
ammo is all gone, Except a few cases of winchester 12ga target loads I did not even bother to check the price on.
So I head over to the gun section.. er what's left of it.
let see some shotguns which I did not take the time to examine after seeing prices 1800+
a few AR's which looked like nothing special was priced around 900, can't imagine why those haven't moved yet
they had about a half dozen handguns left, Not counting the 2 and 1/2 display cases full of rough rider 22's
They only wanted 200 - 30% = 140, Can't imagine why someone hasn't come in and cleaned them out enmass yet.
Ya My first and last time in a GM.. I don't feel like I missed much.
The "soulless gun mall" ambiance I so dislike had become a "rundown and soulless gun mall" ambiance.
Oh ya, You nailed it.
Come to think of it might be a good chance for the walking dead to film some looted store scenes..
or kinda reminds me of a store after SHTF where no new stock is coming in.
"Hey pal what it'll be? gun 1, 2 or 3?"
Mattress stores do it weekly it seems, going out of business sales, but really it's a store renaming event.
Ah so this must be a trick everywhere.
We had one store that went out of business for 3 years.. I almost stopped in to find out what the hell was taking them so long.
Finally they actually DID go out of business.. I was kinda shocked
Furniture stores are bad about it too, My sister went to buy a couch at one and it's weird it, it had a shady used car lot feel.
