I will join in the ongoing process of alerting poor/disreputable dealers and praising excellent/honorable dealers.

Guns & Knives, Inc., Ft. Lauderdale, FL http://www.gunsandknives.com
Back on 12/9/99 I placed an order with this firm for a gun found on the internet, and also on their website, as follows:
SIG Arms P-239 .357 SIG NIB $441.99
7+1 Rnds, 2 Mags, Blackened Stainless Finish, Low Profile Combat Sights. Nib. Item # 5073.
The long and short is that I gave them a credit card to confirm the order, emailed them on 12/13 confirming once again, asked my dealer to send the FFL.
After several calls, emails, etc., on December 24, I received the following:
"We try to keep current on our listings but occasionally we fail to increase or decrease the price of a listing. In your situation, the price that was listed for the Sig P239 is incorrect. The correct price of this gun is $519.00 plus shipping."
I called to complain, a lot of well, and, uh the guy who took the order is new, and uh, we'll call you back after the New Year
Today the ad is still on their website, #346, as I copied it above.
Strong warning on these guys!!

I called them on January 5, they had the P239 .357SIG, mailed them a certified check and FFL on January 6. Got the gun today, January 12 via USPS. The cost: $439.95 plus $8 shipping.
These guys are great!
