I'm still using the 5th and I do my best to pay less than what it lists for and I've been able to do that in quite a few instances. You just have to learn to let the more expensive ones go. Someone else will come along with the price you want.

My local gun shop is usually a lot higher than Petersons. Cabelas is usually just about right on. I have a suspicion they use it in their valuations. Although they have been lower on a few things lately that I've gotten from them. On some other items they are way high like the Yugoicon Mausers right now. But people are paying it so why not. A gun shop in Reading is usually lower than Petersons and they still can't sell the milsurps. Their clients don't seem to like them much. That's the place I got my K98icon and I like going there. They have an P-14 in there that is priced right but I still can't afford it. It's been there nearly a year and I've tried to get them to come down on it but it's a consignment and the guy that owns it keeps complaining that they don't sell it. It's worth his asking price, it's just too much for me and no one else seems to want it. It's all a crapshoot.
