Do they go to the Salem gunshow? If so, I'll check them out this weekend. Always looking for a deal and I can put up with just about anyone for a good deal! I will ask them myself and hope for the best...LOL

I think they are going to the Hampton show so they will not be at the Salem show this weekend.

They are at the Salem Gun Show each time, and the Roanoke Gun Show each time.  If you engage them in "meaningful" conversation you may learn a few things.  They are "extremely" selective and sometimes eccentric.  However, with that said, they are good people... and their guns will be lower than anyone around... Trader Jerrys will be a very close second... but not as low.

They are "EXTREMELY" knowledgeable about guns they sell, and even guns they don't sell... they are very good at what they do...

I would buy from them "any" day of the week.

I have purchased many firearms from them over the years as well. Many are correct on the hot and cold reception from the two guys, the wife always seem quite nice. I have found over the past few years if you catch them when the crowds are down they are usually quite informative about their products and actually joke around a little. Their prices are great indeed. A friend of mine refuses to buy from them after getting ticked off at them after a cold reception day. He takes their prices to Trader Jerry's and they will usually match the price for him. I'm not too sure they like that to get out, but oh well. I like DS and will continue to buy from them.

I wanted to buy a gun but didnt have my wallet.   I talked to the guy and he gave me a card and said they sell at shows and by appointment.  Call us tomorrow and we'll hook you up, "Alright cool"

So I call the next day with cash in hand wanting two guns.  Im in the truck ready to go

Who ever (rudely) answered told me they dont do that, only sell at guns shows.  I tried again later, same thing told me I had been lied too. 

I just thought it was crazy, why waste the money on business cards? lol

They had an awesome selection and great prices.  I just thought it was crazy and i should share.

I had a similar experience. Once i called and got great customer service and had all my questions answered. Then on a later date i called with $1000 cash in hand to meet up and buy a Yugo underfolder and a C93. I called multiple times over a period of a couple days then finally left a message. Never got a call back.

I am still very happy with Dark Sun and will continue to do business with them at gunshows.

Ya cheap bastards! LOL, I must be the only person who actually values good customer service. If people would stop going there to save 20 bucks (HINT: you paid half that to get in the gd show!) maybe they'd realize that being total cockholes isn't a great way to generate customer loyalty.

Dark Sun doesn't care about you, or your purchase, all they care about is the Benjis you've got in your billfold, and why people tolerate that is completely beyond me. Their prices aren't *that* good, people.
