I don't know your local prices but I don't have to have anything close to a "steal" to order online. First, I can count the decent dealers within... hours... on one hand. Second, most do transfers for $25. Tax on a $500 gun is $40 so I'm still $15 ahead. For $15 (or even $50) I'd happily buy local (from a good business) instead. Trouble is, local prices are usually much worse than $50 higher in that $500 example range. For instance, my Glock 33 was just about $500 on Budsgunshop.com and the lowest local prices were about $580+tax, nonnegotiable pricing. $625 total versus $525.
(Well, it is a steal compared to local prices but compared to on lines prices it's not *that* low
)
I've always found it odd that the dealers around here don't negotiate.
