[QUOTE="reloaderlen, post: 1708218, member: 36294"] Oh I remember the gun shows of old Walking around as a kid eyeing all the fine rifles and such as if it was a candy store . The first few years of legal age to buy one I purchased a few and sold or traded a few as well at gun shows when prices were low and much more important was people were friendly and acted like I was their friend. Nowadays prices are high and no one could careless who you are . They could take a lesson from one of the old national chain stores that started off small , sell cheep equals more sales which equals more money in the long run vs sell high and very few sales . You can have some of the Business or all of the all of the Business but you can’t have both with high prices and being rude . That local chain store I mentioned Well I remember when it started and it was just one store in Arkansas And had the best prices on everything and the people were friendly! The store is now nation wide and has shut down most mom and pop stores. It’s ashame that the founders fundamentals weren’t carried out just as he had envisioned. Sam had a plan and it worked but the kids and family messed it up ! I could be wrong but I believe that the same principal can be carried out in the firearms world. Heck I will pay just a tad more if the Employees or owners took time and smiled at me when talking. Sure makes a difference when I leave a tip at the local restaurants . [/QUOTE]
