So the next time a local mom & pop gun store says that they can't lower their prices to what Wal-Mart has it for, I should call BS, tell them they lie and storm out of the store because they can get it for the same as Wallyworld?
Right.
I think if you believe that Wal-Mart, with its huge network of shipping and gazillion stores doesn't get a break on pricing, you, not I are in lala land.
Hate to bust your bubble, but Wal_Mart makes there profit on MASS sales through out their entire chain, so they "might get a .25 cent reduction" on that box of ammo and with the amount of inventory they move in a year it more than justifies the pricing the have.
While they may not have a big mark up on ammo, they generate sales by impulse buying.
It's the same thing drugs stores like Walgreens, CVS and others do, get them in for an ad price, pick a prescription (that they make tons on) and possibly a new blow dryer for the wife and kids because the old one is on the fritz. That's where the money is.
