I have a dilema

[Colinb913]

So, today was my birthday. A few members of my family got me gift cards from Gander Mountain. All in all, I have $200 that I can spend at Gander.

I just don't know what to buy. I don't think I want to buy a gun from there. The gun I want is priced WAY too high. About $150 over what I am gonna get it for.

Should I stock up on ammo? Keep a eye on the used gun rack? Wait for a great deal? Ugh, help me decide INGO!

 

[Bunnykid68]

Wait for Sunday and see what they put on sale. Some of their everyday prices on safe accessories are not bad. They have decent prices on some things if you are a smart shopper

 

[Bunnykid68]

Since you are close to me, you could just buy me a nice gift

 

[Tydeeh22]

even though their ammo is ridiculously overpriced, ammo is always good to have. free ammo at that

 

[Ricnzak]

In opposite to Ty I was going to say don't buy ammo it is so overpriced. I still think I'm right. Buy that new rifle case you've been wanting. Or that fly pole you would never spend the money on. Just saying.

Sounds like you have your mind made up on a gun from somewhere else. What about some nice accessories for it. Sling, sights, optics, cleaning supplies, stock, heavy barrel. The possibilities are endless.

They run ammo on sale all the time at good prices. I would say half the ammo I have(100 rounds, boating accident) I got from Gander

 

[Tydeeh22]

oh oh.. or... sell the gift cards for cash.. take a 5 buck loss per card and then buy from logical price setting sellers.

Start a gun fund where you work and ask for donations to fill the gap.......

 

[TheRude1]

I say other

Get that nice pair of boots or something you dont have but would like to have ?

Either way HBD and many more !

 

[snuffy33]

How about one of the Trail Cameras that are on sale?

 

[Mackey]

Sell the gift cards for $150 and go shopping somewhere else.

 

[jd4320t]

Just buy something you need or want. It's free since it was a gift. I order a lot of stuff from Cabelas because I get ir for free with bonus points from work

 

[canav844]

Keep an eye on the sales, keep an eye on the clearance racks. They do have good deals on Mosins from time to time. They've got a decent selection of clothing, again seasonal good sales there. My CT grips were $10 cheaper at gander than any online price I've seen to this date. Deals can be had, you've just got to be patient and educated on what you're looking at. I probably pop in twice per month, I probably purchase 2 or 3 things per year.

That is a tough one. Any way.........Happy Birthday!

 

[williamnewman1]

ammo gets my vote, can't ever have too much

 

[JetGirl]

Gander??
Two words;

Cinnamon Licorice.


(If $200 buys you a little more than you can handle, I'm here for you.)

 

[the1kidd03]

Could always "sell" the gift cards to one of those websites and take your money elsewhere ....depending on what they pay and all.


Just a thought

 

[rockhopper46038]

I think your best two options are either taking a 10% hit on the $200 cards by selling them to someone else (as previously mentioned) or use the $200 to buy clothing staples (socks, shirts, etc) that you need anyway and that are priced more commensurately with other clothing places and shift the funds so that you can use your $200 elsewhere.

Ammo/accessories/etc. I hate the Gander but they do have some cool stuff and if you shop them right they will occasionally have a fair price on ammo and such. I did buy a butt load of CCI mini-mags from them for a decent price.

Happy Birthday.
