The closest dealer to me is asking $850 for a NIB Springfield model PX9151L model 1911 pistol...is this too much? It's seems like every time I see it on gunbroker it is usually about $690 or so...please help...should I look elsewhere?

  Gunbroker.com is the best place to buy a firearm, period.

  When dealing with this site, you must also figure in shipping and transfer fees. In my area transfer fees runs about $50 shipping on guns I've noticed to be $20. Figure all that in and you are getting pretty close to $800. At the shop you are paying for the guy to have a business where you can see and fondle the guns. Here most of the "dealers" drop ship from the wholesaler to your dealer with little to next to no profit. You pay your dealer the profit to keeps his lights on and keep his employees paid.
  
  I buy guns from all over the place. I look for the best deal however, I would prefer to keep my local guy that carries inventory in business. Rather than some no name guy working out of his house part time in some other state.
  
  My $.02.

  850.00 is retail. Would you pay sticker price for a car??

  Just got a call from the gun shop. They quoted me the wrong price for the gun. The $850 was for the PX9152L which retails for about $999. For some reason they don't have the PX9151L in their computer so they will be calling me later with a price on that. Thought the $850 seemed high.
  And no, I do not pay retail for my trucks...it ruins the fun of watching the salesperson squirm!!!
