Consignment pieces are for the most part set be the firearm owner not the shop. If I'm interested in something I ask questions and ask what the seller is willing to take. Again walk if you don't like what you hear.
You are correct, but the dealer doesn't have to take that firearm in on consignment if the seller's price is too crazy. I would walk away from a $900 Russian SKS without asking any questions. There may be other circumstances (like added ammo) but for the most part, when I'm at a gun show, I'm cherry picking the first time around. Once I see that price, I'm probably not looking at that rifle a second time. A large sign explaining what's for sale would go a long way to helping the sale, but just to tag the rifle with ammo and accessories included isn't going to help that rifle sell.
Just one man's opinion.
