Contacting previous members to inquire how much you paid...

[Shovelhead]

If it's your's sell it for what you want......

 

[Grdbreaker]

Nobodys business what you paid except for you.Sounds like cry baby **** to me.Member not happy with your asking price,Move on
and shut up.

If we go by BUDSGUNSHOP prices... that could depend how long it takes you to get to agreed time and place of meeting. Price could vary depending on inventory, as prices are subject to change, even if they're one price when placed in cart, they could change during checkout, or payment.

Lmao. True story

you are a terrible person.

Of course, that's why buds is used as reference points. You have to add shipping, and possibly a transfer fee depending on where you live. Gun genie on the other hand gives 3 instant quotes from local shops, with all fees included. So you can see what a true new item would cost. Obviously discontinued items cannot be priced using this method. Gun broker is a good place to start for those.

If you look at buds for values keep in mind that the value is not valid if the item is not readily available to buy.

If I bought an item from a member for let's say $200, because he was desperate to sell it. But item really was worth $500 in market value. If I then offered said item as a trade value to another member...

A. Would I be a jerk or a flipper for not offering it at purchased value towards the trade?

B. Would the buyer who inquired through either the seller or listed item price from ad be COMPLETELY in the right valuing my item worth sale price, rather than market value?

Just curious.

Edit: Price numbers are completely fictional.

In this particular case the right thing to do is sell the gun for 30% less than you paid for it. Market value is irrelevant.

I'll take it.

It's whatever it's worth, if I bought a camera for 5 bucks, it's still worth whatever

If someone is selling for less than they could get in pawn, you should inquire where it came from as due diligence.

I agree with the other guys. I have made offers to people to help them out in time of need. I am not a Pawn Shop, I am using my cash. I am also using my time to drive and meet. We are not twisting their arms, forcing a sale. If someone ever called back and wanted to buy it back, I would - but I need a little boot ammo, scope or something.
