Old Guns/New Prices

[Thomas Eeyore]

Okay guys, I'm all about trying to get every last dime back out of a gun I have bought and no longer need or want but unless it a Colt Python in the box or a Tommy Gun signed by Al Capone I know that is not going to happen. So when I see a gun on here that is 2 to 3 hundred dollars more than what I can buy them new at the store for, I'm going to ask what is special about it that makes it worth more? But by that same token when I see one 2 to 3 hundred below fair market price I also going to ask what wrong with it or how hot is it. lol

Some people (not me) are willing to pay new gun prices or higher to keep from filling out a 4473. Also some bought guns at inflated prices and now that the market has softened think they can still get that inflated price. That's my theory.

Dont buy it if its too high.

I honestly believe that some people think everybody else is an idiot and won't check prices or just won't know anything about said item

everytime I question the price of a gun that's too high it makes me wonder if they know what they sell for, but I get a warning from the modulator. My thinking is if they realized they are selling too high they might come in line with current prices and make a sell. Nobody who knows what they are doing is going to pay more than the item is worth and its a waste of time just to read hundreds of bogus items that are priced beyond retail. Are people who run this site afraid to hurt some one's feelings. In the real world that's called feedback. I recently paid more for a rifle because you can't get them anymore and I was glad to do it, but in the same search Wally world had the rifle brand new for hundreds less and I didn't want it. The market is based of open competition and to change that makes no sense for any of us.

First time I've read this type of thread

There are stupid high prices as always but deals people would be falling all over themselves for a year ago. Sig p226 for $400 today, unfired g30sf with mepro sites $450, etc.

Now you know these people on these gun forums dont know how much they really cost.
