A question for the Vortex dealers

[Bridgebuilder34]

My go to ffl is a vortex dealer. They said they can get me a Razor HD gen 2 E 1-6x24 MOA for $1399.00. My question is what do dealers get this optic for? I’d like to know the market up they put on.

I understand I can get this scope on the market place cheaper. I’m looking to downsize my collection but finish off the guns I’m going to keep. I’d rather trade straight across the table then deal with selling a gun off and buying a optic with the money.

What’s the difference what they make? It’s what your willing to pay

Check around to see if it’s a good deal. Or buy something from px here

What’s your plan once you have that info?

No dealer will post that info here on a public forum.

Get a price from SH Commercial Supporting Vendors that sell Vortex. 99% of the time they are going to give you a better deal than anyone else...

I can't imagine anyone with two brain cells to rub together doing this ^^

And if you find a good deal, don't post it up publicly. If you do, you'll probably get the distributor fired from the product line. Manufacturers do not take kindly to distributors offering deep discounts.

Your distributor is doing you a favor by giving you a discount. Return the favor by keeping clam.

Another ffl let me scroll through they’re distributors catalog and see pricing on guns.

I’m not naming my ffl.

That's their call, but I'm not even sure that would be accurate. The FFLs I know get different pricing all the time. The Distributor runs specials or wants to move inventory at various times, so they offer discounts. Sometimes on single guns, or a discount if they buy 5 of them.

I'm not a Vortex dealer, but I handle other brands. Normal markup is about 25~30% of retail. YMMV

$4…

Dealers can get them for $4…. You’re just paying for the name.

Being all like, "I want to know what they are paying" is just going to make you come off as a person nobody wants to do business with.

What I'd suggest is call up Scott at Liberty Optics and ask him what he can get you one for.

Then check that against what your dealer offers.

Keep in mind that being able to get it locally and just do a straight trade rather than having to sell something ship it, get the money go buy what you want have it shipped in, can be worth a fair bit of money depending on how you value your time. That being said, you might get better actually selling your gun yourself rather than trade if you don't mind the hassle.

Also keep in mind all the overhead, insurance, licensing, payroll, taxes, mortgage/rent, equipment etc a business has to pay.
Plus many vendors want you to commit to hundreds of thousands or over a million in inventory yearly.

Everyone wants dealers pricing but nobody wants to be a dealer lol
