Rediculous Pricing
« on: January 13, 2009, 03:04:39 PM »
I really would Like to have an R9. I went to the local dealer with $1000 in my pocket all ready to buy and their sticker price is $1800. The guy is a jerk too. Told me to leave the store if I wasn't going to buy anything. >:( I guess the thousands that I have spent there over the years doesn't matter. This is rediculous! How Can someone buy an R9 without involving the local gun store? Do I have no choice but to buy from him? If that is the case I will buy something else from someone else. Does Rohrbaugh support there dealers robbing people like this?

chopprs, First let me welcome you to the Forum.  Rohrbaugh does not control  how gun dealers do business.  Yours sounds like he"s not a very nice person.  I personnaly would never do business with him again.  I suggest  you get in contact with Tom owner of  Irish Guard Firearms a supporter of this Forum.  I am sure he can help you out.  Good Luck  Dan

Hi and thanx for the reply and the welcome. I have been reading the reviews and your forum and was pretty psyched when I went to the dealer to buy my new gun as they said on the phone that they were in stock. He is listed on the Rohrbaugh website as an official dealer. I was appauled to find that a manfacturer is listing a rip-off artist on there site as a factory outlet............
He will never get another dime from me! Please tell me how to get in touch with Tom. :)

Be happy you do not live in California.  The R9s are off list and would sell for $1,800.00 if people could even get there hands on it.

Choppers:

By all means, get in touch with Tom. He is a true "gentleman and scholar" and can help you obtain one of the R9s.

And welcome to the Forum!

Hey Tom and all of the rest of you guys, I really do appreciate all of the help.  :) I guess I am just a little frustrated that I can't walk in to a store and buy something for retail price and the merchant could be happy making his full profit. I greatly appreciate your help Tom but as I said, because of shipping and local laws and a merchant(FFL) fee,  by the time I get the gun it will be several hundred dollars over retail. I just can't swallow that.  :-/ I really would like one of these in my collection but I am not going to sell my soul to do it. Maybe I will get that Colt target pistol I have been thinking about and wait until someone has one of these in good condition used for a reasonable price. Thanx a bunch guys.

Yes Tom and thanx for posting that. I do realize that but there is shipping and in New York (The Vampire State) The gun has to be shiipped to a registered dealer and they charge a fee for this. So, as we discussed It would cost me several hundred dollars over your price. You are a good man and I do appreciate it............I need to move to another state where the people are nicer!  ;D
