How do you decide what to charge?

Had to laugh at your comment about the night before deer season and customers.

With my smith it started about a week before season and of course they all wanted their guns back.......tomorrow. They had great expectations.

Best wishes, Bill

Bill it was crazy. They knew for months the day was acoming. But no... They hadda wait till it was too late. Not being an idiot..but some just had to pay a little more...and actually expected to. I loved the ones that brought me their gun to have a scope mounted and sighted a month before the season...only to wait till 0 dark 30 to pick it up for the opener. Sheesh...without even checking the sighting they went hunting. One guy did this 3 yrs in a row. Worst part was he always killed his deer. usually 5 deer in the season... usually with that many shots. I shoulda sighted it off a yard or so

I had a very small shop for many years. I got a closeout on waterfowl ammo before our goose season one year. I got 1070 cases(20 box) of waterfowl loads. Couldn't hardly get into my shop. Advertised in the Sunday paper in Baltimore. Sold them all in 3 days for all intents and purposes. Only made 1 1/2 bucks a box but I got them on consignment...so I guess I did alright. One of the things that made me add on to my shop. I needed more room. But the business did pay for it. I promptly filled up that extra space too.
