Since this is about GM I wonder if any of you have tried to sell a firearm to them. My experience is in the Fort Wayne Store.
I took in a Walther P22 to get a price and was helped by a young guy behind the counter. After some discussion, he gave me a insulting price. Just to see what would happen, I went in again and was helped by a nice older gentlemen. He proceeded to go though the steps on how they price guns. Pulling out a Blue Book, he explained that they appraise the gun from the book and then offer a percent of that amount. He came up with a very reasonible number so I sold.
I took another pistol in just yesterday and was given another insulting price. Then on the way out I was stopped by a clerk who had to make sure I was allowed to take gun out even though he saw me check it in.
Not sure I will ever deal with GM again.

My first post. Been looking at this site for some time. Very good resource.
