Was in there today it was pretty busy, they have some sweet stuff. Of course IM broke :-( Does anyone know if they offer a layaway?
Lowest prices I have seen on new guns, nice shop. Purchased all my new guns there. Was a convenient stop for me on my commute home and had been going there regularly. Not as friendly or helpful as I have read in some of the previous posts in this thread (just my own opinion based on my last couple of stops there). I think it's time for me to check out some other shops.
I found them to be pretty rude. Simple things like "do you have a barrel for this shotgun" got responded with "go upstairs and look on the shelf" Well, nothing on the shelf was labeled and half were in unlabeled boxes. They do however have damn near 1 of everything in long guns. Only reason I didn't take my business elsewhere was because I couldn't unless I wanted to spend 25% more.

Anybody looking to do business with Collectors Coin Gallery in Stoneham, MA should promptly tell them to go eff themselves...they have a sign on the door saying "NO 223 or 5.56 AMMO" but are stocked with inflated prices and just told me they were too busy to do a transfer even though I was the 3rd person in line with only 2 other people in the store...and that was told to me by the owner! They said "come back another day we have sales that we are too busy with now"...no one else in there was buying guns because they have nothing to sell
I'm surprised to hear that. Jack has always been great to deal with.
I have been going there before and after they moved, Jack and Jerry have always been polite and helpful. They must be overwelmed due to all the panic buying by MA residents.
Me too. I've been going to them back since ~1998 when they were in the tiny store, then moved down the street (the one where the beauty shop burnt out both stores) and their current location. I even ordered an M&P 45 by phone back when they were rare as hen's teeth, Jack refused to take my cc info on the phone as a deposit/payment and said just pay when you pick it up! When I walked in the door, he said "hi" then told one of the other guys to get my gun from the stack even before I asked for it.
FS employees have had frames transfered into Collectors because Carl won't do them! I've seen the transactions myself.
If it cost them almost twice as much to replace what they sell, they can't afford to give away product for yesterday's prices. That's just good business sense. Same reason why the price of milk, eggs, gas, fuel oil, etc. all go up and down almost daily when supplies tighten up.
They are great guys to do business with. Might they be just a bit frazzled due to the panic? I'll bet all the phone calls, Emails, etc. has them a bit worn down by now. Right now I'd cut any gun dealer a bit of slack.
Don't you work at four seasons? Little biased maybe

Another awesome transaction here, I consigned a rifle here and two weeks later walked out with cash. I am very happy, it sold quickly, their fee is reasonable, and everything was organized. They do give a 2 week warranty on used guns so that was why I had to wait.

i went there today for the first time after work, i spoke to a guy there at the counter and asked if he had any 9mm rounds in the back or if what they had in the front was all they had. Then i asked him if they had any sig sauer sp2022's that were ordered or if they could order one for me if they became available, i told him that it was my first time buying a gun and that was the gun i was interested in buying first, he had a smug look on his face and just said "No, i dont know if you noticed but no gun store anywhere has any type of guns anymore" . im looking to buy my first handgun and i wont be going back there unless i have to, i have worked in sales before, and if i dont have what the potential customer has, i would be polite and tell him we didnt, not be rude, and act like the customer doesnt know what the hell hes talkin about, and then i would see if they would be interested in something else. unfortunately the guy that was there just looked like he was trying to get rid of me. thats fine, i wont be going there anymore, and lots of my friends and families that go gun shopping, deff recommend they avoid that place aswell.
