Front Sight Membership info needed please

[funk_drum]

Can someone school me on this? I have a gun for sale and someone is asking to trade a Front Sight Ambassador membership for it. I see what they say on their site what it is...but what is Front Sight and is a membership transfer legit?

[ke6guj]

Front Sight is a nice place to get training if you have the ability to get out there a couple times a year. I live in SoCal so I can drive out there after work on
Thursday, take a 4 day class, and drive home Mon night and be back to work on Tuesday. 4-day class, 2-days off of work. NorCal people might lose 2 additional days of travel making it more costly to attend.

as for the value of the membership, I'd put it at $200 tops, so I'd expect him to toss in a couple memberhsips or some cash to sweeten the deal.

Yup! They offer 2 or 4 days class training for handguns or/and long guns. There are several levels of memberships like the one you mentioned.
Contact Front Sight and ask them about the transferability of what was offered you.

I bought 2 days training for me and my wife and haven't find time to do it because of the distance.

Just remember that if you take a class at FS they will hit you for a $50 background check once a year and take that into account on the value of the membership.

If you don't know what Front Sight is already, I would just take cash.

I'll have to look more into it. I re-read the text. Says two all-inclusive ambassador memberships. Front Sight says these are $25,000??

They are if you buy them from FS. But there are tens of thousands of these things floating around, so market value is discounted quite a bit.

that's MSRP, hardly anybody pays MSRP. street value of a membership is whatever someone with a membership is selling them for. you can get diamonds or ambassador memberships from people selling themfor significantly under that MSRP price on the website.

Its all marketing.

The memberships are worth about $100 each right now.

You can buy one for that pretty easily.

The training is nearly top notch. The only way to go better is gunsite at $2k/course.

Get cash for your gun and train locally

[Rainbow Warrior]

Get the cash.

[funk_drum]

Thanks for the info! I'll take the money and run.

I've been offered diamond and ambassador memberships for $50

I've been offered diamond and ambassador memberships for $50

and if you have any desire to do any firearms training, its a smoking deal. go there just once and you've gotten more than $50 in training out of it. It just isn't worth trading a gun for a membership. 5 years ago, yes, it may have been ,but Iggy has whored them out so much that the market in them is in the toilet.

Yep.. hell, I will sell the OP a diamond membership for $200.. lol

It's a good school.. and even though it's far, you really can't beat unlimited training for a few hundred bucks.

Worst part are the constant salespitch emails.. every day.. all the time..

Take the money
You can ALWAYS find a Front Sight membership for 100-200 bucks.
The training there is very good but the non-stop huckstering is annoying.
