Alrighty,
*Ramble Warning*
I bought my XD-40 Service from the Mentor Ohio Gander Mountain in early Febuary of this year. They had been asking $430 for them with two magazines. When the package deal came along with the third magazine and XD-Gear holster they sold those packages on sale for $420. This is the deal I got and given the fact that I had $125 in gift cards (from Christmas presents from the in-laws) it was a heck of a deal. In mid April at a local gun shop in Mentor Ohio I found an XD-40 Tactical for $469. Not a great price but I didn't think it was bad either especially since it was the first Tactical I had seen locally after looking for several months. Well I went into Gander Mountain last night and they were asking $469 for a XD-40 Service and IIRC $509 for the XD-357 Service? Wow! what's with the price increase? The other thing that was killing me was a used XD-40 Service in the used display case and they were only asking $345 for it. It had a little holster wear but probably only had 1000 rounds through it. It seems like someone is getting a bit greedy; not sure if its SA or Gander Mountain. Have you guys noticed similar trends?
