http://www.oldwatch.com Sells, well....old watches.
http://www.barrygoldberg.net Wrote a mini-booklet on watches and has a great collection.
http://www.sentimentaltyme.com A local watch business run by Jim Sholders. He has lots of antique pocket watches and wrist watches. Jim also offers repair service. While his main business is in Burgaw, NC, he also has an indoor area at the NC State Fairgrounds Fleamarket on Blue Ridge Rd., Raleigh, NC. I encourage anyone interested in pocket watches to swing by and take a look at what he has to offer. It's neat to see so many NICE pocket watches at one place.

Auctions and Internet sellers
http://www.budsgunshop.com Bud's Gun Shop. Pretty good retail prices listed. Shipping is included in the price! If I were buying a gun online, this would be my first stop.
http://www.gunsamerica.com People and businesses selling new and used guns. So far I see better deals at my local gun shop.
http://www.gunbroker.com Gun sells via auction, like Ebay. Again, so far I see better deals at my local gun shop.
Local Stores and Gun Ranges
Fuquay Jewelry & Pawn 513 Wake Chapel Rd, Fuquay Varina, NC (919) 552-4945. Owner: Clay. I'm not sure what they are calling themselves now because they have gotten out of the jewelry and pawn business and now just sell guns (though they still buy gold). They have pretty decent prices. Ask for an out the door price on any gun you see (new and used) and you might get an even better deal. They seem like nice, honest people. I've done business with them for several years and highly recommend them. Tell them the guy that likes to window shop sent you! :)
http://www.edsgunshop.com Ed's Gun Shop 5560 US Hwy 1, Vass, NC (910) 692-7936. Good selection and decent prices. Sometimes they have GREAT prices on guns. Ed seems like a nice guy. Had a recoil pad put on my shotgun by Ed. I recommend them.
Jim's Gun Shop 609 Woodland Rd, Raleigh, NC (919) 772-0995. Runs out of a small building behind a residential house. GREAT prices on new and used guns. Not much inventory, but he can order whatever you want. I recommend him.
http://www.davisguns.com Davi's. 4900 Leigh Drive, Raleigh, NC. (919) 878-0787. Full gun shop. Has an indoor range. Seemed kind of pricey, but has a good selection. Great place to look, but I'd buy elsewhere and save some money.
http://www.pdhsc.com Personal Defense & Handgun Safety Center. 301 Tryon Road, Raleigh, NC. (919) 779-6880. Merchandise and has an indoor gun range. I've heard others say they have good prices, but I have never bought anything there so can't comment.
http://www.perrysguns.com Perry's Gun Shop. 21 East Third St. Wendell, NC (919)365 4200. I've seen them selling on the online gun sites. I've also heard they have some good prices, but have never been there myself so I can't comment.
Big Sky Guns & Pawn 304 E Williams St, Apex, NC 919) 303-8555. Very, very small selection of guns. Some okay prices. A friend of mine has gotten some good deals there.
http://www.lawmens.com Lawmens. 3319 Anvil Place, Raleigh, NC. (919) 779-6141, (800) 426-3486. They apparently cater to law enforcement, but civilians can buy from them too (though I think the law gets a discount). That said, a co-worker found they had the lowest price on the model of S&W semi-auto he wanted.
http://www.younggunsinc.com Young Guns. 813 East Williams Street, Apex, NC. (919) 387-8393. Merchandise. Prices seem okay. One guy there is kind of grumpy. Seems he would rather talk conspiracy theories with this friends than wait on a customer. However, my main beef with them is that they have an anti-gun sign on their door: NO LOADED FIREARMS. Do they support concealed carry laws or not?! Are they afraid of their own customers? I'll generally buy small stuff in there like ammo or holsters, but I'll keep buying my firearms elsewhere until they start supporting our conceal carry rights.
Mid South Guns 24461 N Main St, Wagram, NC (910) 369-2370. HUGE gun shop in the middle of nowhere! Wagram is just a slow down along Hwy 401 (just north of Laurinburg) so I'm surprised to see such a big gun store there. It's the biggest I've ever seen. It's way cool. Sadly, the prices are very inflated. Big fish in a small pond syndrome? I once inquired about buying a gun and they wouldn't come off the price a single dime, so they won't ever get my business. But it's still a neat place to do some window shopping.

Okay, this website is so amazing that I had to create a special section for it. The site is called Why won't God heal amputees? What's amazing about it is how logical, intelligent, concise, and well organized it is. The author takes a methodical approach to questioning, then denouncing the existence of God. No matter what side of the religious fence you are on, this website is worth a look. Use it to bolster your atheist views, or use it to hone your skills at taking on the atheists for having the gall to say God doesn't exist. The author has even created a forum for believers to relate how God has worked in their life.
