Better stay away from car dealerships. They may send you right over the edge!

im starting to think most of you guys think of trading as a business and not a hobby.

This sounds like every gun show I have ever been to. “Yes, your Colt Python is only worth about $300. I can trade it for this Charter Arms Bulldog”.

That's damn funny right there. I don't get the gap between the trade and sale value either. But most of the time the trader is trying to trade up into what they really want and they know the item they offered isn't worth as much. That's why they inflate the trade value. They don't wanna come off of any cash so their made up value is supposed to cover the gap. People used to try that with me at car lots all the time. " Well KBB/ NADA said my trade is worth X amount." Yeah but neither of those companies is standing here with the cash. So most of the time if they said their trade was worth $1500 over our offer I'd just say okay to it and then do a new worksheet with that trade value and add another $1500 or maybe $2000 to our sale price. Wanna butt heads with me,then get back and get a running start.

Maybe in the next Blue Book Of Gun Values they should add a trade section.

Honest trading is a great hobby, rare, but still a great hobby. Then there is the selfish, screw you over, I’m only out for my benefit trading hobby that is gaining momentum.......wait, isn’t that politics!?!

I think of trading the same way i do Texas Holdem. I can pursue any strategy i wish to obtain more chips. Your strategy may differ from mine. Simple as that. Why some hate others simply for the strategy they have is beyond me.
