Why aren't guns selling?

[rhaney02]

Yeah but that's kind of a little bit worth it when you're looking at a new unmolested gun versus a pre-owned gun that you don't know how it's been run. I get transfer fees for 25 bucks. Sales tax is a gimme that's going on everything you buy. And I would rather pay that than give the guy $25 less then the new asking price just out of spite. LOL

But after the selling price of firearm, sales tax and transfer fees, you're looking at more like an extra $50-$150 for a firearm selling between $300-$1200. Your $25 doesn't go as far.

Don't worry the panic is coming soon enough! I've been reading about some credit card companies will not be allowing ammo or guns charged on their plastic any more, so people getting ammo deals online will be declining.

Pay cash.......

We had a saying in the car business ( finance) that I guess would apply to the sellers in here we would say " Hit em high and peel them off the ceiling! ".

Yep…. that'un too!….

I bought retail contracts from a dozen or more dealers before one of 'em "stole" me to do F&I at their store…. made three times as much as at the bank!

For a while, back in the beforetimes, I used to go out of my way to make my firearm purchases from local stores exclusively in cash. Every bill had been stamped with "Become Ungovernable" and/or "Let's Go Brandon". After a while I actually saw two in circulation in the town where one of the LGS was.

A small but satisfying victory against the administration of the time, even if it was rather petty.

There are some deals to be had here, but for the most part they're niche items that zip under the radar of many members.

Couple days ago someone had a Browning BDM on offer for a reasonable price. Given that it had 2 15-round mags, it would have been a GREAT deal if the mags were actual Browning mags and not Triple-K (I was too lazy to check). I was also lazy because I would have stripped it and sent it to Fatal_Bert or KingOfCamo to have it Cerakoted.

Too much work.
So tired all the time.

I've got a slave pin I made specifically for reassembling the DA/SA controls on the BDM. That little contraption they made is a pain in the rear to stuff back in the slide.

And this is why, despite you being a pain in the ass here on ODT, are someone we can trust to do business with.

Guns are actually selling great

You know maybe Palmetto Moon has a point. It's always the same bunch of guys moaning about prices. All the rest of the greedy sellers never hear or read our complaints. Seems like we are just pissing in a fan here!

Damn a price whiner. You want to get my attn on my over priced junk then make me an offer. Trust me, we will talk! If not then kick rocks and keep scrolling.
