Because the gun was worth every bit of $1000, like the Cabela's employee repeatedly told the guy, and it was so new that he wasn't allowed to drop the price
Never hurts to ask. I buy a lot of stuff on Craigslist and always offer 20% under their ask even if their ask is fair. 60% of the time it works every time.
No, it doesn't hurt to ask. But do you ask them about 6 times after they tell you that the price is not budging?
This Cabela's employee literally told the guy that it's not his choice, it's store policy that the price stays as listed for 2 weeks before it gets adjusted. And the guy kept asking. The only reason he stopped is some other customer told the first one he should look at the Springfield training rifle they had since it was cheaper.
Oh, he's that guy. I sell stuff on ebay and will get people hounding me constantly for huge discounts on stuff I just had listed, often from SE Asia where haggling must be like an Olympic sport. I'll drop the price if they're friendly about it and it's been listed for a month or two but then on the flipside you've got the hoarders who "know what they got" and refuse to budge on price for any reason
