Like this one? - $265 used. LINK

Or this one for $200 - LINK

No wonder the gun shop doesn't want to give him back the gun. If they were smart they would hand him $60 and say we're square.

You have to wait? A CCW permit and out in 5 minutes. I thought it was only a 3 day wait up to if you delayed.

10 days here

Don't go down the state gun regs trail or this thread will be locked and gone. Nothing to do with the subject.

It sounds like they stole the pistol and want to steal what they gave. There is some due diligence lacking in this, a person has some responsibility to know the value of things.
Good on you helping out but don't expect smiles from the gun shop.

I wouldn't think they think that they keep the 60.00 and firearm. The 2 receipts must throw the salesperson and they believe he was paid the 60.00 instead of putting it towards the purchase price. Should be an easy fix if the problem is carefully explained to the manager at Cabelas

Did Cabela's run the background check? How much does Cabela's charge for the NICS and their FFL fee?

 

[Revving2Redline]

Cabelas wouldn't charge for a 4473 NICS check I dont think. For the amount they offered for it he should have just kept it or threw in his tackle box or something. At 60.00 I first though Hi Point.

Yes, that's the gun. His was in better shape and had a lower serial number then those.

Looking at his receipt they charged $4.00 for the background check. No FFL fee that I can see but there was a $25.00 Cook County firearm tax on there. We found the same gun he wanted $70.00 cheaper and there's no firearm tax in the county where we found that gun. That's a $95.00 savings, I'll take him there tomorrow after we settle up with Cabelas.

Hope it goes well. Your friend paid his old gun plus cash for the new gun. He cancelled the purchase of the new gun. He should get refunded his old gun plus what he paid minus any pass through fees paid by Cabela's. Now, getting the handgun back might entail some fees that you'll have to negotiate.

He feels he was cheated because he got the reduced purchase price refunded and they kept his firearm saying they already bought it and could not just give it back to him. He feels he's owed the $60.00 for his original firearm. Who's right here?

doesn't sound like the brightest light bulb in the box

Ed is 81 years old so I cut him some slack on things like this.
We went to Cabelas this morning, they put the $60.00 on a gift card for him and he's happy with that. The cashier that gave him the refund didn't notice the $60.00 price reduction was from his trade in, that's where the confusion on the refund came in. Thanks again for all the replies.

My apologies, it was uncalled for.
