I don’t think anyone is debating that there are multiple metrics out there for which pricing can be based, but more that all parties should be on the same playing field.

This is a little overboard, because I think most savvy shoppers will look at buds, gunbuyer, grabagun, gunbroker, etc. when trying to determine values. All I’m saying is, if you’re going by the internet, then both use the internet (publically available pricing for both parties). I’ve made plenty of deals where each person found the lowest they could get the others item for after browsing the interwebs and that was fine for all involved. Just don’t pull, “Well, I can get your item for $XYZ, but you’d have to pay $UVW for my item (since you’re not a dealer), so there...” That’s BS.Just put in your ad, "NO neckbeards, NO dealers, NO members with wholesale accounts from any distributor, NO bargain hunters, NO Walmart shoppers, NO innernet shoppers, NO Bud's Gun Shop customers, NO C&R license holders, NO flippers". That ought to about cover it I think. Or you could just say, "Big Box Retail shoppers only need reply to this ad." That should work too.
Try to even the playing field. If someone wants to do the same with dealer pricing, that’s fine, too (I guess), but don’t blame me for being a little skeptical there, as well. There’s an element of blind trust on my part since they have access to those numbers and I don’t. How do I know the items are valued at what you’re telling me? I don’t have access to those numbers.
