Missed by 3 hours, Colt AR15 @ Walmart

[runco]

I left work a little early today, and ran by Walmart on the way home.  The lady behind the counter knows that I want a Walmart Colt, and told me I should have been there 3 hours earlier.  I said why, she said 4 Colt AR15s came in mid day.  All sold to two men within 1/2 hour of being put on display.  Gees!!!!!   Oh the price has jumped $50, they are now $1067.

One or more will probably be at the Knoxville gun show tomorrow.

Hopefully they will choke on them for gouging free-market selling at inflated prices.

They'll end up on a rack somewhere for $2500. Edited March 2, 2013 by BrasilNuts

The walmarts around Nashville have a 1 rifle per person per month policy posted. Sucks that two guys got all of the guns.

It's hard, man. Not only is supply slim and demand high, but some of these guys have been friends or become friends with the sporting goods person at Wal-Mart. I was at the Springfield Wal-Mart this morning picking up laundry detergent, so I decided to see if they were going to bring out some ammo. While standing there, another guy was bragging about how he has scored a a bunch of ammo at our Wal-Mart, and even 2 AR's in one day. I thought he was possibly full of it....until the employee who's always in charge of the sporting goods section sent him a text message from the back. She came out a few minutes later and said there was no ammo. I kinda got a funny feeling they were up to something, but I left anyway. And he had the nerve to mention that he complained to the manager about a night crew employee selling ammo to his friend before 7:00 am.

 

When you have the same group of guys making friends with store employees and showing up every single day, the odds are against you.

I've given up going to our Wal-Mart TDR. I've had a feeling something fishy may be going on there because other Wal-Marts actually have stuff on the shelf for a couple hours at least.

When you have the employee in charge of guns and ammo sending you text messages, you already have an advantage. Thankfully now have all I need for a while. I could have racked up at Guns & Leather this morning, but I got the Harris bipod I have been looking for and left.
