Yes but they usually have the wrong serial number written on them. I so a high standard pistol box sell for $41 + $6 shipping just the other day. Cardboard value is way up these days.
It's also disheartening when you finally see the gun you want near you and the seller has a ridiculous High Ball price on it. Then if you offer what the item has been selling for on gunbroker he gets all offended. Then you have to hear about how it's only been shot just a few times to sight it...
I know you are asking $350 but I can only afford $250. Will you take $250 for it if I drive their today with one hand and the cash in the other hand????? Let me know ASAP. I got another guy with the exact same gun waiting on me if you can't accept my offer. Thanks and God bless you and your family.
Can I call you and discuss the item? Not always, but I usually feel a low ball offer is coming with this kind of contact through a PM. I usually just go to gunbroker and look for the last 3 completed auction of that item that actually sold. That is usually how a determine an offer.
