Reply to "Gander Mountain closing"

Don't know how the prices compare to Walmart, if there is a comparison.  I've learned over the years and through former employees of Walmart that they have different product specifications (cheaper, lower quality) that don't compare to products labeled the same in other stores.  But anyway, in Gander Mountain, none of the firearms or ammunition is discounted (right now anyway), and other items are only 10% or 20% discounted. 

Thanks for the reply.  Actually I was being factious, but a bit truthful, when I asked if GM sales prices had dropped to WalMart retail meaning that when GM ever did have a sale, it was about you could expect to pay retail anytime anywhere else.

 BTW, far as labeling goes, I agree with you except a firearms.  For instance, a Marlin labeled a 336w is the same 336w anywhere you buy it.  The only difference is the $$$ you pay wherever you purchase it.  Right now, they're $400 at Academy, $470 at Bass Pro, and $480 at Cabelas and D icks.  So if the local WM has one, its the same one maybe cheaper but not lower quality.
