The Gun Library is like the stuffed animals, it helps bring folks into the store. Not many libraries make a profit. Our gun room happens to make money because we turn a lot of guns, most of which are black and camo.
Times are hard, folks are selling their guns. The people who like double guns are older, they are dying. The guns bring quick cash. We have more guns at times then we have space for, they have to move.
I've gotten two of the best buys of my life there. Both were on the rack out on the floor so anyone could have bought them. I just happened to see them first. I've passed on a number of great buys because I don't have the money to spend. I was brought in because I have some knowledge of older shotguns, but I'm only there to try to prevent the purchase of dangerously damaged guns. The pricing is out of my hands. There will always be killer deals for the educated buyer, like those that hang out at this web site.
