i work at wal-mart in the sporting goods dept.. store 1192.. no the guns aren't low quality.. wal mart buys them cheaper than the dealer can b/c they buy in bulk.. they sell them AT COST.. the theory behind this is.. women are 70% of the business.. if wal mart can sell the guns at a very low price, the husband can buy them AT WAL MART.. if the husband can find a good deal on the guns, then the woman stays happy with wal mart and KEEPS SHOPPING.. there u go.. a myth is busted..
yes I used to work at wally world too, (#1867) and I do remember being able to access pricing of items, and found that wal mart does strategically price certain items to make minimal (sometimes zero or negative profit) on certain items just to get a certain demographic into the store. Of course some items carried a 150% mark up too!! Balancing the equation out.
