$45 for a used G19 magazine? Price gouging?

Darkness_Actual · Jan 16, 2014

Went to Jays guns in Pensacola with a friend to kill some time and decided to pick up a magazine or two. However they only had a couple used mags in stock, not a big deal, but the salesperson said they were $45 ea. FOURTY FIVE AMERICAN DOLLARS FOR FACTORY 15RD MAGS!?!?! I don't want to talk bad about the place but everytime I've been in there they've quoted me prices over MSRP. Has anyone else experienced anything like this there?

Also the salesperson did not clear a single weapon he handed me and snickered when I did.

Sounds about par for the course with Jay's. Every time I've been in there it's been kinda craptacular.

Sounds like Jay's SALE prices LOL

They must be running a sale..

I hate to say say it Rick but your response lost all merit with me after you mentioned obamacare. I asked about a magazine price, not your opinion on the idiocy of our gubment. Also I myself would never grossly overcharge a person for anything I.e. your .22 rds, I just don't do that. However feel free to do whatever you want.

Just another reminder never to walk in let alone buy from them. Not clearing weapons is just stupid and improper training.

bcp280z · Jan 16, 2014

Jays, no matter pcola, cview, baker, or pc, always has good stock. They also always have jacked up prices.

Go for price references or to hold guns. Don't go to buy.

Although, buck n bass had over priced mags aswell, I was looking for ruger p series, $37

I was in there the other day and handled several firearms, and the guy that was attending me cleared each one. Go figure.

Well the kid that helped me didn't. I'm not speaking for all of their employees, however it only takes one.

Urbanfuturistic · Jan 16, 2014

Indeed, I suppose it does only take one. I just wanted it known that I had been there recently, and this one individual should not be allowed to represent all of them.

Darkness_Actual · Jan 16, 2014

I'm just speaking of my experience there. I also work in the retail businesses where I occasionally sell firearms. I have had numerous customers, most of whom have been repeat customers, tell me that the fact that I cleared each and evey weapon I removed from the cas really stuck out in their mind. Bad habits just like good ones are contagious.

I truly apologize for voicing my opinion on gouging and our federal government in your gouging thread. Won't happen again.
