those who "cant" buy a gun just get one still via regular channels, illegal or not. i dont see why they would pay a premium for non-FFL

New vs. Used

Guns are not like cars.
If they are not beat up, they will hold 90-95% of their new cost, plus no sales tax! This value would easily increase to +100% due to supply and demand.
Of course there is the "High Point" exception rule!
Buying new is always out there as an option.
I guess some people think used is supposed to mean 1/2 of new. I've never seen any guns in a thrift store! Guns are a highly regulated item, the quantity available is limited and the market for them is limited to a certain class of citizen, they will always be a premium desired item.
Any one have an idea of the "ghetto" price for a Glock? My bet would be more than a grand.

That is not entirely true.
If you bought during the retardation, your gun may be worth half what it was new less than a year ago. If you just had to have a KSG when it was first released, your gun is worth about 40% of what you paid new. If you bought a plain jane wood grain hunting rifle in a store yesterday, it won't move for more than 80% of your purchase price anytime other than right before deer season.
If you bought an SKS 10 years ago it is worth 600% of what you paid new.

My guess is much lower. Zero initial cost, motivated sellers, limited buyers... I'd guess $200. I'd be interested to know what it actually is.
$2k if its on ebt
There are some guys that want to sell you $3500 Oly for 8 grand...
They put "custom' walmart optics on it and some crapco mags and furniture
comes in a 'custom' case.
They say the stippling is for free
