I think people that were interested in getting a gun or guns for self defense and the end of the world have already done so at this point.

Anything else is a hobby purchase and many have slowed those down as well.

Hell I’m buying more than ever. $3k worth of night vision shows up this afternoon

I'm buying ammo as much as I can right now....prices are good!!!
I've got enough guns!!!

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

Same reason I'll look for used video games on OfferUp. Can't stand to go to Gamestop and pay almost full retail for a used game. Freaking stupid.

Nobody can afford new or used. Till inflation eases it's not going to get better for many.

Dreamers: Inflation will never end. The effects of inflation can be mitigated to some extent, but once CBDC's are implemented.....game over.

I mean, when people ask more for a used item than it is brand new......

I saw a PSA just like the one I purchased a few weeks ago for 565 dollars and they want 1500.

I believe it’s the general lack of understanding the online market. In my opinion most sellers on here aren’t the internet savvy type. I’ve been on the ODT for going on 7 years and have only seen a few firearms that I was interested in at a price lower than new. In that time I’ve only purchased two firearms and sold a dozen.

But I also agree with the discussion of blue label glocks and others. When I can buy new for $400-$470 it’s hard to justify buying on here.

Lastly, the average retail price being far higher than online prices including shipping and tax. Most are buying in a big box store and selling for what they think is reasonable. The reality is that you overpaid for convenience and now that you want to sell, that loss in not justifiable so you try and pass that loss onto the buyer.

So go ahead and put that turd back in the safe.

Pretty sure I just saw that one and was extremely confused.

what is that a 200% mark up over full retail. . For 1,500 bucks a man can build one hell of a DPMS platform AR-10. I mean no trash, all great parts.
