2 years ago i bought a 44 stainless with a 8 inch barrel that was ported for 325 dollars. Yesterday i went in a gun shop with a friend and they had the same gun but with a 6 inch barrel for 855 dollars and it was not ported. They have to be crazy. The rest of the prices were high but nothing like the 44. They also had a box of 50 federal 22lr bullets for 10.99 a box. They have lost there mind.

    I use the Blue Book of Gun Values to get a idea of how much my guns are worth. The last book i bought was the 29th edition. From the 29th edition to the 32nd edition how much do you think the prices went up on average.

    most of the guns in the auction seem to be on the high end
    was looking at a taurus pt 111 in 9mm they started at around 300 up to 350
    checked a high priced sporting goods dealer today and found the same gun for 300 with no shipping
    is it me or are all the guns over priced

    Good morning all, I was looking in my favorite gun store the other day and noticed that the Glock 21 that I picked up last year is about $180.00 now. All of the gun prices have risen considerably. I guess since the gas prioes have risen and lowered the amount someone can rob the store for, the price of the gun has to go up (ha,ha). Seriously, when are the prices going to level out? When I was growing up it seemed like the prices never went more than $30 - $50 up and down.

    Just got my new 2004 catalog of firearms, and are there some drastic changes in the prices of some guns. Some way up and a few that actually dropped in value. I like the book as it gives more information than the blue book and isnt too far away from blue book prices.

    In my opinion, I think its time to stop buying guns and see if they drop prices. I think its ridiculous to pay these prices.[:(!]
