Yes they are stupid high priced, it's more of a museum/time capsule of guns, when the owner sells or passes on it's going to be an interesting conversion from collector pawn to sales pawn...

It's still a hell of a half day browsing..

Scar20, in box-appears Unfired
$2600
I stop often in the shops around here, good deals don’t last long , a lot of overpriced junk just sits

I never got any crazy pawn shop deals like I’ve seen online.

Until…

I get a like new P250C-22 for $200 OTD.
Gunbroker still has some deals if you wait.
Factory CZ75B Kadet 2 pistol with everything for $740


This Beretta 948 was missing its safety. I think it happened early in its life because the springs are super tight compared to my other earlier 948. A safety for ~$25 and I was less than $300 in. A C&R and Gunbroker can still be fun.




The magazines are always where the project gets pricey.

Several years ago, I picked up an SKS with scope for $350 plus tax/background check.

Just last year, I picked up my first P365 for $372 out the door. It had the case, but only 1 mag.

I kicked myself for passing on a Kahr PM40 for $160.

There’s a large nationwide chain, and the closer their items get to 6 months, the better the deal gets. I’ve gotten to know one of the managers, and he calls me with deals he thinks I might be interested in. That’s how I got my P220.
