MSRP is $599.00 in the States and Epps is selling them for $899.00 here with our dollar at par or above par. Nice profit margin.

You neglected to factor in the cost for export licensing, duties, taxes, freight, distribution, overhead, etc. The landed cost on these guns is close to $750.00, but of course a profit margin of $150.00 would be outrageous for any store to manage, would it not?

Yes, I do work at Epps, and no, I do not have an axe to grind. I was simply making certain that you had all of the facts regarding these guns upon which to base your opinion of our pricing levels.

I do not work at Epps, nor do I have an axe to grind. In fact, I have no interest in these firearms whatsoever. However, living in Bantario does have its advantages, one of them being able to visit Epps with my good buddy Hungry. I will say that after many (too many :D) sojourns, I have always come away with the impression that the staff (there are a lot of them) are knowledgeable, courteous and most importantly in my opinion, lack attitude. As well, I find their pricing very good on the large inventory they carry. On top of that, they give quantity discounts. For example, if one buys a 1000 rounds of ammo, the price is reduced 10%. Five hundred rounds of American Eagle 55 grain .223 is, IIRC, $225 etc. I have often noted that accesories such as Blackhawk holsters etc. sell cheaper than what I can get on Ebay, not even counting the shipping. So to those of you who run Epps, keep up the good work and see ya' soon :D
 
Yeesh. How many times does the Canadian firearms pricing horse have to be beaten? d:h:

And since you asked (well, not really), here's how I feel (about pricing in general, not just firearms) when I'm looking at a purchase:

1. The price is what it is, where it is, and when it is. If I don't like it at that space/time confluence thingy, I simply don't buy it.
2. Profit is not a bad word. Not even when there are adjectives preceding it.
3. I alone know of an item's value to me.
4. The "buying experience" may well modify what I am willing to pay. For better and for worse.
5. The markets will dictate if the price moves up, or down, or not at all. Patience can be a virtue. Or a waste of time.
6. Alone, or with modifiers, Profit is not a bad word.
7. Need is spelled w a n t.
8. If I can't afford it, I remember that we were given two kidneys for a reason...so one could be sold for quick cash.
9. Cheaper is always better. Except when it isn't.
