At the stores I've gone to, most of the guys are easy to talk to. I always ask... something along the lines of "I'm interested in ____, I'd like to make an offer if theres any room to negotiate." Or in two of the stores, where I feel more of a casual guest whos come to hang out, than a customer, I'll just be straight up with the guy, "how about $xxx for the ____?" I like to justify my reasoning for a lower offer sometimes too. If theres nothing wrong with the gun that I can say, or if its not used, I'll tell them - I'm not a new customer, hook me up Joe, youll make up for it on the next guy lol. I usually get 25 bucks off minimum. One shop I go to, sometimes just to shoot the shit, I ask what my price is. He says $550, but for you....$475. Hagglings half the fun honestly. Just have fun with it, dont come off like theyre overpriced and its all good.
