Ade's consignment gun update thread!!!

[neomentat]

I frequent Ade's gunshop in Orange regularly and usually just to check out the consignment guns. I would like to start a thread for updates on the consignment guns at Ade's so people like me who like to browse consignment guns can get a regular update on his stock without making the drive down there or bug him on the phone.

So for those of you who frequent Ade's gun shop please make updates as to new consignment gun deals at his shop on in this thread.

I believe Ade can benefit from this also since this forum have a large audience and it should help him move some of his stock and keep him in business. (for those of you who don't know Ade, he's got the best customer service in socal. if you want a gun, he will try his best to get it for you, off list and odd ball pieces and all)

Dump1567 (is that the right screen name?) and myself are in there frequently. I'll be there tomorrow, as a matter of fact.

I'll do my best to make mental note and report back tomorrow. I could post from my Blackberry inside the shop... but you guys would have to pay me as it would take forever typing it all out on a cell phone

I hope poor Virulosity's USP45 has sold already... poor guy's got a sweet gun and has been trying to sell it for awhile now.

If you see any 4 inch S&W model 19's, blame Gregg... he doesn't work there anymore, so he's not there to hide them for me

Use the Internet?

I wonder why Ade's doesn't create a website and post a list of his consignment guns, perhaps updating the list once a day? Turner's does this, and I think it would help Ade's sell more guns. If I owned that gunshop it is the first thing I would do.

Good idea but it belongs in the Commercial Sales section of the forum.

Ade needs a website period. I had my first interaction with the guy about a week ago, he's a stand up guy, really easy going, very knowledgeable and very friendly.

The problem with posting all his consignment guns "when you see them", is this thread will not be updated. So stuff from 3weeks to 2-3months later will still be listed on here even if it was sold the same day it was posted. Imagine if you list a popular hard to find pistol(like a Sig P210), Ades gun shop will be ringing off the hook for days for a pistol that sold after a few hours in the display case.

I usually give a heads-up when I can.

Don't forget to check his list on the wall. Last Sat. I bought an excellent Rem. 870 Police for $300 that was on "the list".

I've seen guys walk in with a gun for Ade to consign, and a waiting customer buy it before it hits the shelf. Ade's (along with Turner's consignments) needs to be checked weekly.

Ade isn't real computer literate and is extremely too busy to start a website. I'll continue to post "heads-up" when I can, but even being their once a week, you can still miss probably 20-30% of what comes and goes.

If you've never been there.....

Take the 55 to the Chapman and make a left onto Tustin. Ade's will be in a small white strip-market on the left. Don't mistake it for Fowler's Gunshop which another block down and on the right...HUGE selection but WAY Pricey. I made the mistake of unintentionally starting the legal/illegal California firearms debate there.

Give me Ade's gun shop anyday!

What are Ade's consignment fees?

[SVTNate]

Generally, Ade asks you what you want for your gun, and tacks on $50 to the total price for himself. So if you want $650 for a gun, he puts it in the case at $700. I am sure there are exceptions, but that's the general rule of thumb.

I have sold several guns on consignment at Ade's, and they always sell fairly quickly. It's always "plan b" when I can't sell it here on Cal-Guns, or if I would rather take a bit less money and not have to plan a meeting with someone from C-G (which has happened a couple times when I've been very busy with my life).

Why not just take some pics on that Blackberry and post them?
