So I got on GunBroker and bought a few firearms receivers and rusted up stuff to send to a museum... I talked to a lady in the Wilmington store and she said that if I had them sent there that they would only charge a flat 35 for everything well I said great I asked if she could send me a copy of their FFL she told me they would have to send it so I have them the FFL dealer I bought from's email and after 4 days I had to go back to the store and get their info to send to the guy because they just didn't act.... So I gave the guy their number got the FFL and it was on the guy shipping the guns admittedly that they were sent to the Fayetteville store but I called that shop and they said their wasn't anything they could do .....okay..... So I drove two hours up there that weekend and after arguing with the old man that they in fact were sent there a lady steps up and says oh yeah I sent those to Wilmington yesterday .... I asked if she even consider calling first she said that she wrote my number down but must have thrown it away I'm pretty peeved at this point...... Well the next day Jim's calls me and my guns are in .... I get down there and the guy is all kinds of mad because it took him two hours to log things in .... Because you know it's his job and all .... Well then he says it's 35 per gun ... So I say have a good day and start to walk away then he wants to deal .... Everything finished up and he says not to send that stuff there without prior consent ... And to which I told him I've been telling you for 3 weeks now ......

Jim's pawn shops
Yeah, I gave up on Jim's a long time ago. I see you're in Hampstead- There used to be a little place called "Hampstead Trading Post" out there, mostly selling antiques and knick-knacks, but he's an FFL and will take in your transfers too.
They lost all my business years ago when I went in to buy a 500S&W Magnum- It was priced $1,049 and they wanted to tell me it was $1,249. That's why I never use the words, "I've been looking for one of these and haven't been able to find one" when I am gun shopping.
Oh wow that's shady ... That just solidified my stance they also wanted to giveme like 700 for my colt preban and made it seem like they were doing me a favor
Well, granted any shop is gonna offer low, because they are going to add 30% or more to make a profit, and Pre-bans ranging from $900-$1,600 they weren't too far off from a wholesale perspective.
