Price on Merkel 140.2.1 in 500NE

Found a price of $9,500 for a Merkel Safari (African scene engraving) in 500NE. I thought that was pretty good but was the price if only paying by check (add 3% if buying by CC - which I prefer)and then of course shipping charge to my dealer plus his cut (5% of price) and tax.
Fair deal or are there better out there?
Thanks

There was one for sale here at a better price a little while ago. Do search.

If you own a gun and you are not a member of the NRA and other pro 2nd amendment organizations then YOU are part of the problem.

If your dealer charges 5% of the price to handle the transfer, find another dealer. That is a rip off! Most guys around hear charge a flat fee. IMHO even $30 is high.

There are a couple 140-2 Merkels (NIB) in 500 for sale between 95 and 10500 on Gunsamerica and Gunbrokers, shop shgipping and definitely dealers my FFL guy charges $20 per transaction Shipping is high because of Insurance however registered mail is the cheapest and maybe the safest

I must agree with Peter.
If the gun cost five dollars, or five million dollars, the "cost" for the dealer to do the transfer is the same.

Ditto's Peter, find another dealer and stay away from this guy.

I charge a flat fee of $25.00 here in Texas. I hear that some dealers get $50.00 or more in Califonia. IMHO they are screwing you if they are trying for a % of the sale price.

You can borrow money, but you can't borrow time. Don't wait, go now.
