Spot on. I worked in a shop in the 80's early 90's. Basement FFL dealers were abundant. Some folks would come to our store, handle the merchandise, suck every last drop of information out of you, waste an hour of your time when you could be in the back being creative, and then run to the basement dealer to save a few bucks. Shortly thereafter they'd come back to have their new toy registered as per state law. Not a spot of remorse about their MO. The perfect storm of basement dealers, the Brady Bill, assault weapons ban and the shit economy conspired to close our doors in '95. I made just enough money to get by, but damn I loved that job...
Oh, and I forgot to add, your AR choices back then were Colt or Bushmaster. Sales between the two were about evenly split.
