Joe, yes Sir. The benefits are worth it if you are regularly on the lookout for firearms. I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes with the supplied TB phone number for members as opposed to Buds regular Customer Service number. The current ability to have two open layaway's open without fees is nice as well. You will save the small annual fee many times over.

in my opinion it is worth it. If you da a layaway it will cost you $25.00 fees the 1st year buds membership is $29.95 (renew at $24.95) and gives you free layaways (2 active at a time). You can also put Used guns on layaway those 2 factors alone make it worth while for me

Well, I’ll put it this way. If you’re always buying firearms, ammo, parts, etc., I think it is worth it. If you buy a firearm once in a while, meaning like 1 or 2 every year, it probably isn’t worth it, UNLESS you’re trying to get your hands on a hard to get firearm or ammo. In that case it is worth it. I really think it is worth it because of all the perks you said you read on the membership page. We, as members, get the first opportunity to grab some of the hard to get items. And if you’re the type that likes to put firearms on layaway, the layaway is fee free for up to 2 guns at a time. That’s awesome. So, like me, I buy many firearms a year and some a put on layaway. The membership fee basically pays for itself because I don’t get charged layaway fees. Glad I could help, Thank you.
