Hey guys, I am new here. I have been lurking for a while and decided to join and start my membership off with this questions - just looking for public opinion.
I work in a gun store and we deal alot in used guns. We have people in and out all the time to sell us guns. With that, we get alot of "flies on the wall" that seem to hang around for people to bring in stuff in hopes of catching a good deal if we don't buy the gun. So:
If you are standing in a gun store, and another person comes in to sell a gun to the store, and it is a gun you really would like to have, when is the appropriate time to make an offer? I know most would say definitely not to make an offer while the dealer and customer are negotiating... What if the customer says they need time to think about the offer and he/she might be back later to complete the sale or trade? Is it okay to chase them out the door and make a better offer (outbidding the gun store)?
Just looking to get an idea on what others think. Us guys at the shop chit-chat about when it is and when it isnt appropriate to try and make a deal with the gun store's customer, but I would like to get a "general public" opinion as well - this is not a topic I see discussed on alot of other forums.
