Larry - According to the son of my best hunting buddy who worked for about a year at the Minnesota store NW of Mpls, that's exactly what they did ... typically paid 50% of the price they'd set for resale.


Charlie, there may be a difference from store to store. However, I just sold (not traded) a Ruger Red Label 28ga to the Owatonna GL for $800. I can guarantee you it won't be tagged at $1600, and that it will sell for less than what it's tagged if someone makes a reasonable offer.
