I've had a few good buys over the years. Got an unissued Yugo 59/66 SKS for $55 a couple of years ago. Also bought my Mosin 91/30 then too for $64. Those were the days.
in the last couple of years I bought my Beretta M9 for $510 new. Got myself a NIB XDm 40 last year on another forum for a total of $505 including shipping and FFL fees. Bought a Mossberg 500 persuader with 2 stocks, pistol grip fore end assembly, rail and a red dot for $210 total including shipping and FFL fees. My latest buy should be here tomorrow or Thursday and that will be a Taurus 608 revolver with a 6.5" barrel for $350 total I am getting from a member on another forum.
I picked up a brand new Remington R15 VTR at Dick's Sporting Goods. It was originally $1199. It was discounted to $999 and then I received several discounts, including one for applying for a Dick's credit card. When it was all said and done, I paid just over $800 bucks for it. Then, a month or so later, I received another $50 bucks in Dick's shopping cards. This was in late December, well after Obamination.
I had never seen an R15 at a Dick's store before or since. Mine was the only one they had received, and the manager said he didn't expect to see another, either.
