Big Al Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) Sell privately then get one sent over.How do you advertise here? Or do you mean through an rfd? I'll explain my frustration. I went to a large rfd wanting a semi auto. I looked, I shot and I looked at the price. I got home and looked on guntrader and saw a 300 pounds difference on a used gun. I went back today and priced a new one and then checked. £150 difference in the price (plus a hundred less on my trade in.) I'm extremely frustrated that my prediction earlier on this thread seems to have happened. All that seems to be left here are the money grabbers. And so, back to my original question. Are there any DECENT rfds left in our wee country? Edited February 16, 2017 by Big Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick it in gunstar, guntrader, and the ads here then rfd to the buyer, get a better price than your trade in would be, then have gun you want sent over. I have found Hollow farm a pleasure to deal with and very well priced to recieve a rifle from the mainland for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Newells are gentlemen - decent people. I appreciate that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if somewhere close were cheaper I'd still go there for the service, if we don't support places like that we will end up without them.

Wise words. I will do likewise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 95% of our rfd make **** turpin look good....sad to see Vaughan wind down .... I agree. I know businesses need to make a profit but most seem to rip the **** right out of it. Vaughan is going, the Newells at Hollow farm are gentlemen. Is that it? Sad times indeed.

tweedledee Posted February 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 the bigger shops seem to have a monopoly and know they can charge more....I've little need of anything else so ammo is all I need to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donegalcharlie Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Just face it they all rip the buttocks out of it wile professing that they are on the bread line and theirs really no money in this game! How many times I've heard that over a counter wile his Range Rover or bently is parked out side with a 3 letter 3 number personalised plate. 😴👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanieboy Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Credit where it's due, I bought a new CZ 223 and Wildcat Evolution from Tannyoky yesterday at a very competitive price....even compared to those quoted on Guntrader. Gavin completed the online variation for me in no time.....great service. Folk give off about these big shops having a monopoly, but at least they have the stock and they are staffed throughout the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
