My experience has been 30% on new and several hundred to thousands of percent on used.I think the markup is probably higher on used firearms.
There are forum members who work at gun stores who should be able to pretty accurately estestimate
This! A LOT of shooters still really do not understand how this works. Most manufacturers make up a run of guns and send them to distributors. The distributor then decides the price to their customers based on how much the customer buys. A LOT has to do with how "hot" the particular item is that week too. Look at what happens when any new gun hits the market. Often takes a good while before the little shops can even lay hands on one. Larger places will get several at a time and you will see them selling them on line. Price can vary WIDELY with what the market will accept.I would imagine it varies wildly depending on the business and their wholesale buying power.
He works at location that has FFL I'm pretty sure……You would think he would just ask them.OP's thread #150 (or whatever) about "what about this for ffls?", "can ffls do this?", "what FFLs owners should do", "here is my proposed buy back policy for things I sell" etc, etc, etc.
Weird obsession with FFLs continues. Get help or start a ffl business, one of the two.
I sold a used handgun at a 3500% markup this past weekend. Transfers are money makers if you get good at it. I wish the boss would bring in more ammo but for some reason he doesn't want to deal with much ammo or accessories.Some FFLs I've talked to have said that their main profit driver is accessories and ammo. The guns bring the customers in. Much like how gas stations really make their money in the convenience store selling chips and rockstars.
