How trusting can the folks be there?

trusting how? you'll find some good deals if you look around, but most of the guns that ive seen are nearly retail prices.

Bring a bullet with you and give it a test shot. If it shoots, buy it.

My local shop is reputable. I ordered my middle son a Savage 22 this morning from their shop. I’ve bought several guns there and always good prices and service.

know what the value OUGHT to be, and dont pay any more for it. Google for places like thehighroad.org, jousterforums, glocktalk, thefiringline and ask there. Be sure to use a bore light and look it over carefully. I guarantee you that they didn't pay more than 1/2 of current retail to get it and you should not pay more than 3/4 of retail for it. If you do, you'll have lost money on the deal. If you can, take a 5 gallon bucket of gravel and 6", 3 ft long, thick walled steel pipe to fire down into. Put rags atop the gravel, cover the top end of the pipe with stretched and wired inner tube rubber (like a drum head) cut a slit into the rubber, insert the barrel. If it's a longarm, you'll have to tilt the bucket a bit. 15" of gravel will stop 12 ga slugs or 308 ball ammo, guaranteed. It will not make much noise at all, actually.

I check pawn shops from time to time to see what they might have. I have never once seen a gun in a pawn shop and thought to myself "that's a good price".

I'm sure there are some shops that will try to gouge you but I've got some great deals from Pawn shops over the years. Knowing what it is you're looking at, will help you know if it's a good deal or not.

They expect you to ask what they'll take or make a lower offer. They're in the business to make money and if someone will pay a higher price, good for them.
Also, if you go in regularly and look around you'll see what they have that's been there for several months. They're usually more eager to work a deal on those.

There is no legitimate gun or pawn shop anywhere that is going to let you do this. Period.

You don't test fire your weapons down a steel pipe shoved into a bucket of gravel?

This is the best advice I've ever read on this board
