Any idea when gander is having their next sale, cause their prices are horrible.

[teddy12b]

I stopped by gander tonight to see about picking up some stuff and wow! They have a new gen 4 glock 19 with no upgrades for $650, I mean what the hell. So then I looked at reloading supplies and the powder prices weren't too bad, but they didn't have any varget. I also looked for sierra .30 cal 168gr bullets but they weren't there either. I'm not too surprised in the bad prices, but I'm stuck with them because I have some holiday gift cards.

Any idea when their next big sale might be?

That stinks you're spacedocked into giving Gander income. They seem to give up a "reasonable" deal here and there; however, it's never great. Gift cards.... free money (sorta) fire away. Decent deals there one in a while, but not the norm. Hold on to the gift cards 'til they have something on your list. Their website isn't much help. But this time of year if you require any sort of hunting gear the price is right.

About the only thing that's on sale worth a crap there. Is when they have there .223 100 round packs for $29.99. Sad thing is though. I can drive to Seymour and get the same ammo for $42 regular price.

Edit: Correction, I meant 100 round packs!

About the only thing that's on sale worth a crap there. Is when they have there .223 50 round packs for $29.99. Sad thing is though. I can drive to Seymour and get the same ammo. Only it's the 100 round packs for $42.

I looked at their american eagle 100rd packs last night which they've had on sale at $30 per 100. Normally it's $60 per 100, but last night it was $39 per 100.

They've also had sales where any new glocks would be $500, which is within reason with gift cards, but at the $650 they wanted for a new G19 gen 4 I was actually kind of insulted at how bad of a price that was.

That's a different idea too. I've never done that kind of thing, but I think it looks interesting. Have you ever done that or used that particular website?

 

[crispy]

Yeah Gander is good for lookin' not buyin'.

Just use the gift cards on accessories and ammo.

I will say this about Gander, whatever they have on sale is usally a pretty good price. Lately though, that's about two or three handguns at a time and usually the low end mass market carry guns. (LCP, SR9c, Sigmas, etc...)

I get the American Eagle 100 packs when they are on sale for $29.99 and that's it. Every time I'm in there and I see someone buying a gun or ammo it kills me. Are these people just poor consumers or do they have money to burn

same here.

i bought my gen4 17 there though. in oct they had "all in stock glocks" for $500. much to my surprise, this included the Gen 4 guns. and it was about $60 cheaper than the price Bradis quoted me.

When Gander first opened on the southside of Indy I was pretty excited about it. Galyans was gone, Dick's was absolutely horrible, so I thought Gander might be the saving grace. Nope. High prices, and unless it is around Christmas time, the selection is meager.

I do buy quite a few Crappie poles their. Chinese made, cheap junk for making vertical antennas.

i went there for powder, primers not to long ago. they were under the impression that the obama price gouging was still on. primers were 40+ per thousand.

We have a local Gander here in Evansville and for the first year they were great! They matched any local competitor, even Whittaker, on their guns and I bought 4 from them over the course of 6 or 8 months. Now there seems to be less willingness to deal; it's either take it or leave it. Ammo is AWFUL! Primers are AWFUL! And I really hate it because I do enjoy going there and looking with my son while the wife and girls are out doing their girl stuff at the mall, but it is so hard to actually buy something there because the price is so high. I usually buy their clothes since they are one of the few places to sell 'Tall' sizes in shirts and they have great clearance sales on those but as far as gun stuff, I'm either Midway USA or my local shop.

I was in the one in Greenwood last week and I the place seamed damn near empty. Lots of bare spots in the rifle rack and the ammo shelf had lots of holes in them.

Our Gen 4 Glocks are $529.99. Just sayin'.

It seems like Gander Mtn might be in trouble. There are never many people in either one of the Indy area stores. I am not an economist, but they have to meet a certain profit margin to stay in business whcih means keeping their prices high to the few people who visit them. I have noticed that their clothing inventory has declined in the last year. Their fly-fishing selection has dwindled as well. It seems like the number of store employees has dropped. They must be trying to stay afloat on their sales of firearms and firearms related products. They seem to be in the process of cutting all of their costs that they can. I, personally, would be very sad to see them go under as they do sell good quality merchandise and I really dislike having to go into a Dick's for any reason. Hopefully, someone from GM is reading this web page and will relay it on to their headquarters. Just my two cents for whatever it is worth during this recession.

That's my whole point. Paying $650 for a run of the mill glock is just rediculous.

I've watched their stock prices for year just out of curiousity mostly. I think it's being bought back by the original owners, but I've seen the share prices at around $1 per share in the past.

I'd also hate to see them go, because it's nice to have them around. I just don't like feeling like I'm getting hosed everytime I look at the price of something in there.

 

[PistolBob]

I buy mailorder before I buy ANYTHING from Dick's.

I enjoy visiting Gander Mountain, but most of the time I'm just kicking tires because they are not competitive when it comes to pricing. Must be the Radio Shack model.

 

[WebSnyper]

They had some deals on .40 Federal Champion FMJ ammo before Christmas ($11.99 box of 50), and like others I've seen the deals on all in stock Glocks, but for the most part I've stayed away as their prices are ridiculous on many items most of the time.

I'm not sure what kind of deals they run when its not during the Christmas season as previous to that I wasn't really watching them.

If you sign up for their email distribution it seems they send you a $20 coupon. That and their current free shipping deal might make something worthwhile on their site.

In checking out their website it was nice to see this posted fairly prominently:
