Got next to nothing for it but I accepted the situation and did the deal. Expect to get very little for it from them.

:) They are in the gun business to make money, not make you a fair deal. :dunno:

Exactly,
They are very straight forward, they figure out what they will sell the gun for using the Blue Book and will give you 60% of that. Those numbers are set by corporate and all of the stores are supposed to be the same. If you want to do it great, if not, then don't do it.

exactly. Once traded or sold to a retailer, it becomes an expense out of their pocket, no longer your pocket. If the firearm sits for more then a month, it starts losing money. True, you will not ever get near what you think it is worth, and if it's not agreeable, walk away, sell it yourself. You will always get more when you sell directly to the end user. But if you sell, you have agreed to the price, which you can either take or leave. If all sides are happy and in agreement, it becomes a done deal. :twocents::) They are in the gun business to make money, not make you a fair deal. :dunno:

The Marysville store bounces the prices around, I've bought some really good guns there on the used gun rack at decent prices and then I see a bunch of over prices stuff as well. You just have to be aware of what it is and what they are worth.
I bought a 444 Marlin lever action there last summer in decent shape for only $329, that same gun brings over $650 on Gunbroker.
I bought a nice Coast to Coast 22lr semi-auto for $149, I sold that gun for $250.
There was a S&W 686 for sale on here for $800, I offered $750 for it and it didn't work out. I just bought the same gun at the Marysville Cabelas a month ago in pristine shape for $599.
There's deals there if you go there enough and know what things are worth, I just picked up a 410 shotgun there last week for only $99, I could of sold it Tuesday for $225.
Then they have some beat up pieces of **** that they want two to three hundred dollars more then they are worth. They are in so bad of shape I wouldn't even want them at any price.
When you dig your gun out get a honest price and list it on this site, if it doesn't sell on here then list it on GunBroker, You can ship it yourself to the buyers FFL guy. I've done that a bunch of times.
Good luck on selling it, You should do OK. If you have any questions about going about selling it don't be afraid to ask, you get all the help you'll need for the guy's on here.

You just need to decide what your priority is. If it's to maximize what you get for it, sell it yourself. If it's to get it gone fast, sell it to a store or dealer.

You need to understand who you're selling it to and what your role is. If you sell it to one of us, you're selling at retail and can expect to get the retail value of it. If you sell it to a store, dealer, etc, you're a wholesaler and can't expect to get close to retail price on it. That dealer has carrying costs associated with it- taking space on the shelf, employees taking time to show it, answer questions about it, move it around, whatever. For a business to sell things for double what they pay for them is normal.:yeah:

I've got a couple handguns on there that I'd like to trade for exactly what you have, BLR 300 win mag lever.
Know it's not what your looking for, but gives you more options to make monies to buy a 7.

This afternoon I went in with a buddy who traded in his Weatherby Vanguard .300 at the Cabelas in Tualitin. They gave him $364 for it. Not too bad for a wholesale trade in, I thought. He's a bit of a horse trader, and tried to work them for just a bit more. Of course it didn't work. Then I told him to see what the pay-out would be without the scope, and the number didn't change at all. I told my buddy to have them take the scope off then, and he could sell it on CL for another $50-75.
Overall, though, I was impressed with the service, for what it was.

I've bought a couple of rifles out of Cabelas just for the scope, I peeled the scope and sold the rifle for what I had in it.

If you have money to burn and don't care, than go there.
Always do your homework prior and be willing to walk out.
