Not me...
Before selling a nice all matching 40's K31 to another NESer, out of curiosity and the fact that I had a discount coupon & gift card, I toted the K31 to the Berlin Cabelas gun library. If a reasonable trade, there were a couple bolt actions I was interested in.
Took them forever to round up a guy to take a look. Younger guy who was apparently the supervisor said they really couldn't offer much because they had a bunch of K31's coming in and just didn't need the inventory. Even when stating I'd be trading towards something else, he said best he could offer was $200-$250 "because of all the rifles coming in from Century...".
So I picked up on that and said, "Hey, that's great- I'd be interested in a late production shooter grade. When are they coming in?"
"Well, ummm, ahh, I really don't know- they are supposed to be coming in the next week or two".
"Can you check and confirm the shipment? I'm definitely interested. Who can I call to follow up?"
"Ummm, ahh, just call the store and ask for the gun library. I really don't know when exactly they will be coming in and exactly how many will be allocated to our store..."
LOL, such BS. In the last two months they have only had a K11 come through the door. I live close and have checked regularly.
I can totally understand a retailer wanting a decent margin on something, but offering ~30-40% of the going price on BunGroker combined with a BS story is nuttin' but SNAKE OIL.
Some deals can be found there if you keep an eye out for something they have somehow under-priced. I can't imagine ever selling something to them.
