OB"R"O

[hwb111]

Ever wonder about those ads that say OBRO (or best reasonable offer)? If a gun is not reasonably priced, what would be considered a "reasonable" offer? Say for instance that you are looking at a gun priced at $1000 and you know it should be priced at $800. Is offering the seller $700-$750 unreasonable? I know you can offer whatever you like, and everyone likes to play lowball every now an then, but I am often curious about those that demand reasonable offers for unreasonably price guns.

If someone post's OBO, that implies that the best price they get will be accepted, even if it's a serious lowball offer. By adding "reasonable" it simply means they aren't going to give it away, so don't even try a big lowball.

If you offer $750.00 for an $800.00 gun, that will probably be considered a reasonable offer. But if you offer $400.00, well.....

If you think they are asking too much, and you think your offer is reasonable, demonstrate it with data. Maybe they will see it your way. Maybe they will tell you to......
It seems that there are a whole lot of questionable thought processes getting let out of the box these days.
