What is a good deal?

[keith089]

If the buyer is satisfied and the seller is satisfied then it's a good deal.

If you’ve seen it on here for more than a few hours it’s not a great deal just priced at what they hope for

I thank it's a goot deal if'n I kin make $20 off'n it when I list it.

So, a $2,020 AR?

I have a few examples of good deals here. Feel free to peruse. Hell, tell your friends! But you better hurry before they go back in the safe or the waters get all tested. (Damn fine traded BTW)

The further from Atlanta that you live the longer you wait to decide if it's a good deal. An item that would be snapped up in a few hours in the Atlanta area may sit a day or two in the rest of the state.

What was said before : if both seller and buyer are happy, then it was a "good deal" for both. One gets the item he wanted and the other gets the cash he wanted.

If I see something that's way over priced to me - I just move on. If it's a little over priced, maybe I make an offer. If they accept it that's great or maybe they counter. Hopefully we can still come to a good deal for both. I don't think there is a certain percentage or dollar amount to say it's always a good deal or not.

You are correct

A good deal is whatever you are willing to pay for an item or a firearm. Also depends on accessories and ammo included.

It's relative.

As a general rule I think 75% of cheapest I can find on interwebz is a good deal on a used firearm still in production.

On a higher-end piece I think I'd rather pay a little more for "new" vs buying from someone.

Let's say a nice rifle is $1,000 online with free shipping and I can get a free transfer from TruPrep or Cherokee G&P. If someone has one used for $900 on ODT, I would rather pay the extra 100 bucks for new. If that same rifle was $750 on ODT, then it would be a deal for me.

What's a gun worth? Take it to a pawn shop to find out what it's worth right now. Luckily most of us don't have to liquidate immediately.

I have learned it is not a good deal(imo) if I'm driving across hells half acre to get it or trade/sell. That's for guys with no feedback
