The Cabelas in Grandville Michigan really changed recently after they were bought out and the competing Gander Mountain firearms Supercenter closed about a year ago. Many of the guns in their Library have been reduced by 10%, without any pattern that I can see. Doubles , Autos, does not seem to matter and many are still way overpriced. They have two Parkers currently, a V grade for three grand plus and a D grade for about six grand now. At the two recent local gun shows I attended in Grand Rapids area I saw a reduction in prices overall for everything from $100 .22 rifles to old Savage 99's etc. Never seem to see higher quality doubles at these shows. Two major changes in the Gun Library are when they first opened they would buy for about 70% of a guns value, now more like 50% and they are under direction to never buy anything that has a crack in the wood, or even a slight possibility of a crack. None of the original Gun Library personnel are still there and the age of the group appears to have dropped from 65 to 35. Guess that tells us a little.
