Why aren't guns selling?

[Ammo cash]

That's why MILSURPS rule!

My $650 CMP Garands go for $1,000 plus
My $750 CMP M1 Carbines go for $1,200
Have an SVT 40 I got for $1,000 and see them sell for $2,400-$2,900
K43 I got for $1,00 go for $3,000-$4,000

Not selling any, my son will have an awesome collection!

This is inflation at its best, The value on the guns didn’t go up, the value of the dollar went down. It all about the buying power of the dollar then ( when you bought it ) vs now. Same thing with silver or gold

I think you should ask him when he bought them. The designation CMP tells me he knows how and where to buy them.

Love to read all the market experts' opinions about used merchandise pricing on this site. Most sound like whiny, crybaby poors who never had anything and won't ever have anything, because.....they choose to remain poor.

Are there guns priced too high here? Compared to what? Newly produced of the same model? Maybe so.

Is the gun collectible or desirable beyond your Glock 17 collection's? Maybe so. Could it take some time before the right buyer sees the ad? Maybe so.

Could it also be just barely possible that you aren't the expert you think you are? You know so much about all firearms and market conditions, condition grading and recent auction prices that you are the ODT authority on pricing models? Like what, the ODT Price Militant? I doubt you are as smart as they were when they were active here.

Lol if yall think prices here are bad, try out a non-ODT gun show. Coworker gave me tickets, gun store prices +10% and they sweeten the deal with an Amazon airsoft optic.

People use this place for different things, but generally I understand that you get tired of something and sell it at a loss every single time because you got something better already and some money is better than a paperweight.

Offered a guy 75% asking price on an ad 6 months ago...Guess who relists the same thing this week.

If he can buy those guns at that price today then more power to him, but thats not the norm

We need a good old fashioned panic.
