When the country went into a recession in 2008 people were selling guns because they needed the money. The quick sale places like Cabelas thrived, now that economic conditions are better we should expect to see fewer guns and fewer bargains in the used gun department.
A big box store like Cabela's estimating the value of a gun is not so much having knowledgeable sales personnel as having a handy tool to research pricing. Cabela's gun purchases from all over the country are logged into the computer making it a good pricing guide. The rare older doubles are where the good deals and the horrible prices exist. For the more common guns the higher prices are not caused by the stores as much as it is by the economy.
