What will get your noodle twisted are the ones who ask the most, and then turn around and complain about others who's items they deem "too Expensive" or "over priced". I have come to the conclusion that every gun on her is made of Gold. It boils down to this, and you have to know the culture to get it. Not everyone can be a horse trader when there are no horses in the barn.
Now with that said, one must realize we are in an up economy.
A lot of folks here don't have cash - Not knocking anyone.
During the Obama years there were deals galore because folks fell on hard times. Sometimes life happens to you. Again, not knocking anyone, but those who had cash during that time made some good deals.
Gun prices are down and we were all taught that guns should appreciate with time, but today it's different and not all guns are created equal.
Some guns of good or great value have become "blase" and although they are worth the money, they are no longer desirable, but for a few nostalgic individuals.
Then you have collector grade items that should be on on Gun Broker or Guns America to reach a bigger audience i.e. bigger money pool.
However, at the end of the day I have met many great people through this sight. Many people who work to make this the great page it is. Some who don't know you personally, but will still give you the shirt off their backs if you're in need.
This is a great big sale barn full of horses and their owners. Making a trade or buying a horse is up to you, but if your knowledge base is not steeped in horse trading history I'd take heed before entering the barn. But when you do see that beautiful horse you have always longed for, the time to buy it is then.
If you think an item is too high you should assume a few things.
1. How bad you want it
2. What is it market value, learn what they are really selling for? There are ways to find out.
3. What would be my total cost if I bought on line and paid shipping, tax and transfer fees.
4. Do I ever plan to sell it? Is it the Holy Grail? If yes you can justify a higher price.
Last but not least, the only deal you regret more than the gun you shouldn't have sold is the gun you should have bought, but didn't.
