Oh Cabela's, you so crazy...
Chris C:
When I sold them a few guns months back an employee told me that they've had a problem with employees paying too much for used guns and on those they are trying to recoup some the money. At least in my experience they pay 60% of the determined value of the gun.

Sometimes buying new there is cheaper than buying used. Sometimes you can get a bargain in the used area. Back in March went to get a new CX4 they had on sale for $699. Found one used in the Library with (2) 20rd magazines, and the front rails for $550, and it was a good 95%. Needless to say the used one came home.

Yeah last fall I bought a Ruger Alaskan 454 that was listed as used. Really couldn't tell what the story was since it looked brand new except for a small scratch. A friend looked at the rifling and said it looks like it had been barely shot if at all and there was no line on the cylinder yet. The seller was Sturm, Ruger & CO so maybe a display piece or something. $799 was the price.

You can buy a new one at Wally World for $167. ??? Of course that's the new "Marlington" ilk. I can see a really nice old one with the extended magazine tube fetching a higher price in very good condition, but it doesn't sound like that's the case here.

I almost bought that used gun when I was there but I didn't want to spend money at the time. I have purchased exactly 1 gun form Cabela's and it was a S&W 642 that was lightly used for $320 OTD about 3 years ago.
