Turners Reseda

[Flying Sig]

I think I will probably lose some sleep over this, but.... I was buying some accessories at turners and was talking to one of the employees when a different employee walks up to us with another customer and tells the guy that I am talking to that they were going to make an "outright buy" of a couple of the other customers guns. He said that they were going to pay "$200 for this, and $500 for this". I look over and the other customer is selling a like new Glock 17 for $200 and a like new FN 5.7 for $500!! Why can't I find these deals????

What is an outright buy? like person 1 walks in to either consign/sell to shop and person 2 happened to be right place right time?

Damn I am not looking for either of those but would've bought at that price.

"Very disturbing" in the thread title is "Very misleading".

and yeah, why can't I find those deals.

It means Turner's is going to skip the consignment and just do the seller 'a favor' by buying his guns for their stock.

Seller get's $700 bucks and...Turners gets to sell the 2 guns for ????

Probably for just a hair below retail.

Coincidentally, I was there this afternoon, too. I recall hearing something about two guns for sale, and a lot of chatter about something being off-roster.

I was #88, and there between 1300 and 1330 buying XM193.

Man thats shady...even at Turners.

On the other hand, I might do it at Turners.

Happens more than you know, I used to be a permanent fixture at a GunShop in Downey and I was able to swoop on theses deals often, sometimes too often.......it's nice to know people in gun shops.

[h0use]

i would have said 800$!

[dadoody]

there are a LOT of people who simply sell their guns to gunstorres and pawn shops and agree to a quarter of the price of the gun.

Hey OP, its called business. Start a shop and then criticize. If the customer was to consign then they would recieve more money but have to wait for it. To sell it back to a store you will get your money outright fast but its a used gun and the shop has to make a profit. Customers always make more money selling private party but not all customers want to go through that, dont trust random people off the internet or want to post something at a local range.
If you lose sleep over this, dont turn on the news.

How come suposedly inteligent people can't understand this? No one forces a seller to sell a gun to a shop. It's the seller's choice.

Dammit! Talk about being at the right place right time! I would have offered him a bit more

you CAN find those deals...You could have offered him more money, at the time, taking the sale away from turners...
