NSIops Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Hello, I was on my search to buy some Cimarron Model P's. I was wondering where the cheapest place to buy was from. It also got me thinking if it would be possible to compile a list of some of dealers etc who you can get the most bang for your buck from. Not just firearms, but hats, boots, clothing, ammo, etc etc. It would be a nice reference to a newb like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Some clothing (mostly modern stuff though) but I have found (bought my last 5 shooters from them) that Ables Ammo http://www.ableammo.com/ to be the best place to shop for anything that goes bang.

Hmmm, same place where you find 'cheap', but 'high quality' and 'dedicated' employees. I haven't found it yet. Sorry, couldn't help myself. Just wait till Friday.

Kidd Krystin Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Can't say it's the cheapest place for clothing but I have been very happy with Tonto Rim Trading Company for clothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfgang, SASS #53480 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Cap & Ball pistols . . . Cabelas. Not the large slection of Dixie and some others . . but the very best prices for the new ones that they carry. Usually cheaper than the prices for used ones on Gunbroker . . . and if someone occasionally gets one that is rough, . . they are easy about returns and exchanges. For inexpensive "starter leather" . . . . see this article in the Chronicle. About $60 for the holsters and belt from Cabealas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Windshadow Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 The best advice I had from the Wire when I started with this game was get my gear(guns an leather) from Long Hunter Cheapest never pays off in the long run... save up a few weeks extra and buy from vendors that support the sport in the LONG RUN that will be the cheapest if you put a value on stress and frustration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spooky Joe, SASS #24061 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Reminds me of something I've seen, maybe paraphrased in may places. 1. You can have it fast. 2. You can have it cheap. 3. You can have it good quality. You're able to choose only two. Choose wisely Grasshopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 It would be a nice reference to a newb like me NSIops, if your looking to have such a reference here on the SASS Wire, you have a better chance of becoming the reincarnated John Wayne! 1. The Wire does not allow Stickeys unless you are an Administrator, which you'll never be 2. The Wire does not allow Polls because it has never been activated in the forum software 3. All Wire posts are deleted after 30 with no activity Prior to 2005, there was a CAS forum that had such a Stickey, by product type, short description, a Poll for posters to 'vote' good, bad or indifferent and able to post their experiences with the sutler. The forum was The Frontier Spot. It is now defunct! So your best option is ... put the SASS Affiliated Merchants link in your Favorites ... http://www.sassnet.com/Affiliated-Merchants-001A.php and started looking and start calling ... because you will have this issue to contend with - there are no website links links listed for the SASS Affiliated Merchants, only telephone numbers So, the only feasible advice is to put a post in the Classifieds for Cimarron Model P's or whatever and see who responds with a price, new or used. But you won't get a response from a vendor ... or start calling or looking around on the Internet on your own because your thought is unrealistic!

Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I think he was talking about comparison shopping on specific items like Model P's. Understandable tactic in these economic times. But as mentioned no good resource exists as a vehicle to that end. On items like firearms most vendors are pretty close in their pricing depending on the volume they do. The markup on guns is pretty small. For clothing and leather the Cowboy Chronicle is full of adds to peruse if you are a SASS member. The classifieds forum is a good place for a newby to get a pretty good deal on used stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Charlie, SASS # 48668L Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Do this the easy way.... Go to the top left of this page and click on "HOME" On the HOME page, go to the bottom right corner and click on SASS LINKS There you will find merchants of all sizes that support SASS in one way or another and are usually good to do bidness with. You can contact them and make your comparisons. Hope this helps, Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckshot Frank Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I have found ebay to be a great source for hats. I bought myself and my wife Stenson 4X beaver hats on ebay and paid $19 for one and $23 for the other. Mine was older but in good condition; her's looks brand new.

Whoa Bart #67544 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Support your local merchants. Howdy to all. I really hope you drive one of the BIG 3 American Made cars and trucks. In Wisconsin I saw a bumper sticker wanting support for local farmers, the sticker was on a Toyotie Pius. What a Hipppo Crit. IMHO the reason the economy is so bad and we have friends selling off the treasures is because we have not supported our local merchants. I'll quit ranting. My favorite shopping places are Goodwill and Salvation Army. You can find a 40.00 shirt for 5.00. The hunt is part of the fun. Let's keep the USA, One Nation Under GOD !

Whoa Bart #67544 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Howdy to all. It looks like this thread has stalled. Time for a push. Good Will and Salvation Army take donations, money and items. They give to the needy what the needy need. The excess they sell in the stores to help more needy people. Support your local GoodWill and Salvation Army Stores. With this economy we have an abundance of needy. Most of the workers at these thrift stores are volunteers. I have been to Good Will and Salvation Army thrift stores in at least 15 states and really enjoy the hunt for something interesting. That's part of the fun, the hunt. Some people won't entertain the idea of wearing used, their loss is our gain. Let't keep the USA, One Nation Under GOD ! May GOD Bless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IMHO the reason the economy is so bad and we have friends selling off the treasures is because we have not supported our local merchants. I'll quit ranting. While technically correct since the Prius is currently made in Japan (it will be made in the US this year), Toyota makes 70% of their vehicles in the United States. Sadly, I'm not sure that any of the Big 3 can say that anymore. You might be surprised at how many vehicles the Big 3 make in Mexico or Canada. Even the vehicles that they make in America might have many of the parts sourced from other countries. If you really want to support America when buying a vehicle, you need to research where it was assembled and what percentage of the parts that were actually made in America. Unfortunately, there is not much in a name anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoa Bart #67544 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Howdy to all. I can and do drive by the factories where each of our vehicles were made. I have driven by the corporate headquarters of these companies. The leaders of these companies speak english. The most important things are, the employees work here and pay taxes here. The companies pay taxes here. I believe that would qualify as local. Let's keep the USA, One Nation Under GOD ! May GOD Bless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tom Bullweed Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Contact the larger firearm distributors (Taylors, Cimmaron, EMF, Dixie) and tell them that you are a CAS shooter. They will know that you need a shooter more than a safe queen, especially since we do treat our irons pretty roughly. They may be willing to find a scratch-n-dent deal.
