Obviously, gun price is lower in Brazil. In yesterday's gun show, I saw a seller put a card besides his Luger, "If you want to ask 50% to 70% off, please give me time to raise the price in future" Probably someone made super low offer to him in the past.

Or someone had watched one of the many 'pawn shop' TV shows on cable lately, and was 'playing the game'...

I can understand the sellers annoyance...When I sell something, the price I post is the selling price; I don't 'dicker'. If they won't meet my price, then that is OK with me.

Oh, no intention to compare prices. Geography and, mostly, legal issues play a huge part on this subject. You may never find a Persian Broomhandle for 500.00 in USA but, on the other hand, I don't have any gun shows to go down here. This is life...
