Not an emergency, but who knows when (or if) it'll be back in stock at retailers? And at what new inflated price?
Since it's a Ruger, I searched this forum for threads on Ruger customer service, and found many testimonials including about them repairing guns bought used, often for no charge, or even sending a brand new replacement. (Not unlike how Leupold used to be for their scopes.)
Based on that, I decided on a minimal discount for used vs new. This helped me arrive at my high bid on Gunbroker. I rolled the dice, and won the gun on my opening bid for $30 below my high bid. Never expected to snag it at that level. (One just like it sold recently for 5% more.) This gun is "as new", and even with the $35 shipping, $25 FFL fee (on this end) and $5 Gunbroker "compliance" fee, I saved $140 over new from Sportsman's Warehouse (store pickup, out of stock) and $120 over GrabAGun.com (delivered via FFL, out of stock).
