ODT selling/trading slowing down

[AR-Trvlr]

I do believe the economy is it a slump. There has been a lot of nice things coming out of the woodwork for sale, prices have been dropping and people actually buying are few. Sign of the times

Or it’s a sign that a huge amount of guns have been sold over the past few years in panic mode, the total number of guns are still very high on a per capita basis, and the people who need cash are more willing to sell for what they can get. That leaves those who don’t have to sell with guns that they value more than the current market does, so those ads just keep getting resisted. Basic supply/demand equation.

The real question is if the next generation will eventually value them just as highly, or is it better to take the loss now and avoid greater losses down the road?

People are asking for unreasonable prices. No one wants to pay full retail for a used gun.....

Yep what he said. I seen someone ask for 220$ for a Taurus g2c with slide wear clear as day…. That mfer is 200$ brand spanking new

About 10 years ago 99% of the gun community finely took the phrase "guns don't depreciate they appreciate" to heart, even (incorrectly) to current production guns, like the example you've given. I'm a part of two other gun forums outside of GA and it's the same sea of "$600 used glocks and $1000 PSA m4orgies" listings.

Automobiles have dropped nearly 30% since January this year, while sales are down nationwide about 40%.

I don't mean to sound capricious, AND I'm no Biden fan....BUT, it seems to me that anytime there is a chance of the world colliding with a super nova, somebody here is going to predict it....which NEVER seems to happen....economies go up, and they go down...we're no closer to a disaster than we were in 2008/2009....the future does not appear to be as bright to us, BUT it does seem bright to the green folks...I don't know, maybe we are heading into the pit....BUT maybe we are not....JUST keep your powder dry, and have a cocktail!!

One key difference: The amount of money the U.S. is borrowing. We'll need to borrow $2 trillion next year, if nothing changes. The debt is piling up at an alarming rate, and that can't continue forever. Plenty of nations have gone down this road, and the result is always economic collapse.

My pastor said that too. But he also said Obama was the antiChrist. I'm starting to think any Dem is just the anti Christ to some people because of their limited mental ram space.

Nah, just playing the odds. Chances of one of those socialist, baby killing democrats being the anti-Christ is pretty good.

The US of A is only $30+ Trillion in debt now, back in 2008 the debt was only $8 Trillion. The best way for a reality check is to figure out your worth. If your fortunate enough to have $1 million dollars of total wealth, it'll only take another $million $millions to equal a $trillion. Every US citizen who pays taxes is in serious debt, like it or not we own it.

Bro, it's the anti Christ. He'll be too sneaky to come out of the obvious democratic side. Most likely will be a wolf in sheep's clothing and will come out of the Republican side once the time is right and pull a bunch of brain washed followers with him.

Had a Henry 22 Mag on here for $500 last week, bottom dollar would have been $400. No one acted so I brought it to the most pitiful gun show I'd ever seen in Jefferson yesterday and sold it almost immediately.
