gander mountain

Has anyone on the forums ever traded a firearm in at Gander Mountain? I am thinking of trading in a Mossberg 535 tactical turkey 12ga for something more concealable than a doublestack 9mm. Maybe something like an LC9. Would anyone reccommend for or against Gander?

I should also add that the firearm has only had 3 rounds put through it since it was taken out of the box. It was originally purchased at Gander for $425

In any trade, you will be lucky to get $200.00 3 rounds or not...Your best bet is to try and sell it to a buddy or a friend of a friend. Gander is no better or worse as far as I know....

The short of it is...you'll ALWAYS come out short when you trade....

I will second that. Finally someone on here not giving bad information.

I was looking at the LC9 and finally bought one at a local gun shop. Gander Mnt seems to be $20 - $40 higher per gun than other shops.

Thanks for the info fellas. I was pretty weary about it to begin with so i thought i would seek the info before diving into it.

I'd never buy or trade at the Gander Mtn near us. They're outrageous on their prices and don't give anything for trades. Friends or a local pawn shop might be a better route.

Check Academy Sports if u have one around you. I picked up a bodyguard. 380 for 393.00 holster box if ammo tax tag and title! They have great prices! Sell ur shotty privately you'll get more. What are you looking to get for it? Alot of people in that price range are looking at saiga shotties.

Once had a Beretta 8000 Cougar from Gander. The front dovetail sight would not stay tight. Sent the gun back to Beretta where they put on a new slide/sight. Same problems again. gander woulod not take the gun back until I threatened to call the NYS AG to report Gander was selling guns with known safety issues. They refunded the price immediately. I don't like that store. Prices are too high.

I will never ever do any type of firearm business with Gander Mountain. That place is a rip off when it comes to guns.

When the Ruger LCR came out they wanted $590 for the .357 mag. I went to look at it at Gander Mountain. The very next day I went to my local gun store and purchased a brand new Ruger LCR .357 mag for $450 and tax. I then took my reciept and my new LCR to Gander Mountain and showed the manager my reciept and asked him why they cant do better on their gun prices. He just looked at me and said "thats a used one" I just laughed at him and left.

They are idiots when it comes to handgun prices and they refuse to budge even when presented with their competitions pricing.

Few weeks ago they had a brand new Glock 19 Gen 4 for $630. LOL i bought my Glock 19 Gen 4 from my local gun dealer for $525 without even negotiating.
