Been like that for a few years now. Between the economy and influx of bozos charging retail +20% no one wants to buy.

It'll work itself out... it always does.
People look back at the panics when everything sells or trades in an hour and think of them as the good old days. Slow times are good times.

It always slows down at the end of the year. That being said it has drastically slowed down this year. Right now Americans are broke and don’t have disposable income. Record credit card debt, inflation, and stagnant wage growth means no extra money for toys. I wonder if the government can keep things propped up for much longer. Zombie economy keeps staggering on.
It is really sad that most traders just refuse to take any trade. That’s the fun part of the site. Negotiating a good deal with trade mixed in should be expected. My favorite trades are when tons of items are mixed in.
The cash prices that some people have their stuff listed for is also ridiculous. Pricing your gun above brand new prices is just ignorant. Your item is used and you’re gonna have to take a loss. Especially if your gun is still in production and well stocked. Sometimes I think people just post things with inflated prices so they can get some attention. Poor lonely souls.
See below credit card debt chart. Notice 2008, 2019, and present times. The Covid farce is the only reason things staggered on past 2019.

Haha.Sure, things and the economy are down a little right now.
But things will pick up as soon as Biden is re-elected
Hell I’ve bought a Springfield 1911, Tavor X95, CZ-75, and CZ PO7 in the past week and have made 3 sales all through ODT. You just have to be willing to work with people and not be a total asshole. For me this is usually the best time of year to get stuff gone. I’ll list stuff during the Summer and it will sit for months.
right on!
If you really want to find out…take a screenshot of the FREE section today and look again next week. The free **** ain’t even moving

4. I am worried about another government shutdown. The wife and I both work for the FAA. Yeah, I know we will eventually get paid, but we went 5 weeks without a paycheck several years ago.
