Everyone broke?

[Scorpio]

I can't believe the stuff I see just sitting on here not selling. What's up?

I suppose "fair" or "reasonable" prices aren't low enough anymore.

Middle class is showing signs of being tapped out all over the place.

They can always sell to me for Silver.

Bought one yesterday. Check your good prices vs. LGS prices and you might be surprised. For 10 to 15 percent off I'll just buy new. Can't sell used guns for new prices anymore. By the way

It is a good time to buy. Yes OP a lot of people are broke. When everyone was panicking last year and buying $1,200 DPMS Oracles I was saving my money. If you search through my posts last year I said back in Jan 2013 that days like this would come. The market swelled so big so fast it couldn't possibly sustain it's self and would collapse. That is what has happened. Every weekend for the past few months I have driven around to gun shops and pawn shops buying things I want and interest me. With the exception of the $35 and $50 lowers I have been buying, I haven't paid asking price yet. I am not ballsy enough to ask for a discount on a $50 lower (yet ). Dealers and pawn shops have been very flexible because guns just are not moving now. Handguns are starting to dip in price now that is how bad it is getting. If you can swing it buy all you can now. If the midterms turn out the RIGHT way, prices will hold until after Christmas. Then at the first of the year we will see prices continue to drop. I wouldn't be surprised to see $25 stripped lowers by Christmas if the midterms go the way they should.

My idea of "fair" or "reasonable" includes a discount to the local retail market. And I don't see it as beating a dead horse. There were many on here at one time that would rather buy from an individual than a retail outlet.

There were an awful lot of folks willing to pay to not have to fill out a 4473 because they wee fearful that the government was about to start confiscating personal property. I can't personally see spending retail or almost retail prices for a used gun. For that matter I see a lot of folks selling used guns for higher than retail. That's not reasonable in my book.

I am sorry, I should have noticed your feedback score and realized that you know more about the ODT and the prices of everyone else's guns than anyone else here. Also, it is beating a dead horse due to the amount of times that this has been discussed, but then again, a veteran ODT'er like yourself already knows this.
