Default RE: Anybody tried to buy a model 94 lately?

I think any nut paying scalpers' prices for 94's is going to be crying the blues within the next year or two at the most. There are only 7 or 8 million used 94's floating around. Despite what the current craze and what greedy gunshop owners are charging, they aren't exactly rare. If you think about it, they probably weren't selling that well, or they never would have stopped making them.
Pretty much my feelings. I went to a gunshop about 3 years ago that had a sign out front that said "we buy used guns" I wanted to sell a winchester 94 that I had gotten for cheap and wanted to get rid of. When I asked the guy how much they would give me for a nice win 94, the guy just turned up his nose at me and stopped talking to me. I thought it was a bit rude and was put off by it, but I noticed that that had 6 or 7 used 94s on the rack already. Other places I tried to trade it in at or sell it to made excuses in order to not take a 94 as a trade or a sale also.
