Buds is great to deal with, wonderfull company. Specifically its one of the very few sights you should ever even bother to check for handguns. Have bought a few items from them. This past weekend ordered a NEF 12ga (its a Copy of a Remington 870, but actually nicer than express models) for $167! Bought a $99 shipped Hi-Point from them a couple months ago also. My local FFL charges $10 and its nice to avoid the sales tax. If you check VERY OFTEN you can find the more difficult to find stuff, like keltecs, the $300 Ruger 9mms, $258 Bersa Thunders, etc. Generally Buds does not price gouge customers, so guns of high value/demand are difficult to find in stock, they just sale out within minutes.
Of the really high demand stuff about the only thing I've never found is a Keltec PF9 (I check several times a day) or any Keltec rifle. For the first time over the weekend I knoticed a semi-price gouge on a Keltec P3AT for $299. That would be a fine price for many people I guess, I have seem them pop up in my frequent checking for $258 or so the previous week. They take the high road on Ruger LCPs, instead of putting them on site for normal price they do acutions where they bring $450 or so. I don't blame them, I would do the same thing, then its not there fault people are willing to pay that. I did the same thing with a AR-15 Upper I had $415 in, just put in on Gunbroker with $415 start and it sales for $780, I would have felt awefull actually asking $780 for it. Keep up the good work Buds!
I've only found one item that sale that costs more than what I can find local (excluding Walmart rifles), that is a Springfield XDm, $589 vs $579 (we had about 5 vendors with these at our local show this past weekend). I think I would still technically come out cheaper b/c of sales tax issue.
