Sorry if this is the wrong forum - feel free to move if there is a more appropriate place.
Just wanted to share a positive transaction with the Cabelas Gun Library in Buda, TX. It was my first time trading in rifles and I had no idea what to expect. In fact, I had read some horror stories about being severely lowballed so I was a bit reluctant. But I was going there anyway so I decided to take along two rifles that were just not "doing it" for me, and see what they would offer.
The young man who made the evaluation and offer was very professional and up-front about their policies. He said they offer 70% of what they would price the rifle at on the shelf. I told him I thought that was very fair considering I didn't have to ship or pay FFL fees or just do a bunch of correspondence on a sale.
He offered me almost exactly what I was expecting on both rifles, and then told me if I traded them in on a rifle in the store (new or used) that I wouldn't have to pay tax on that rifle, which saved me an additional $20.
Overall I was very pleased, and walked out of there with a rifle I'm much more likely to use than the two I traded in. It was a good way to clear some space in my gun safe.
