I know, beating a dead horse but damn.. asking new prices for used guns??!! Like wtf is going on with these people???!! You give a trade offer that costs more than their gun and they're like "throw in $150/$250 & it's a deal!" I'm like "naw,yours Is 100% used and you can tell but you want $1600 for a gun that sales for less than $1200 used??" Folks are on some serious Sh*t these days..😂
 
It's called capitalism. Seller is free to ask any price they want and buyers are free to not pay that price.
That's very true. And I've heard sales managers at various car lots over the years say that same tired old line "You can always come down but you can't go back up." Problem with that logic is that of you start out crazy high then you just blow your customer out before you even get to the negotiation part.
Example: On my way to Warner Robins from Perry I saw an old Ford Focus wagon for sale in front of a body shop. I would love to have it. But I already saw that same car for sale last year at a different location. And even with wavy body work in the drivers door the sign read $3750.00. Okay well if it was perfect it ain't worth that much. So that's why I didn't even bother to call the number on the sign.

Or the ones that think because they bought it new and it sat in the safe, it's "new". Sure, it wasn't used but it was handled and it's NOT new. Automatic depreciation. TV is also depreciated as well. You should not be able to recoup your regret. Take the L bish.
 
It's easy to find the kind of folks who don't know how to look up what their stuff is worth. A quick Ammoseek or Gunbroker browse ain't hard!

I always get a laugh out of the oneswho add on their listing that they are selling at a crazy deal. It's almost like a test to go see if I can find one cheaper after tax brand new online. If you have to say that it's a deal, ain't no deal there. Lol
