Is it my imagination or are guns that used to sit for months with no interest are now going very rapidly. And at much higher prices. I was looking at older generic 1911's that last year were selling for $300-400 are going for as much as entry level Springers.
Seems like ANY gun thats under $300 goes quickly.
 
Its your imagination good guns at reasonable prices have always sold fast. It could be that since at least a few guys are getting tax refunds they are in a position to buy.
 
A decent 1911 for under $300 sounds like a very good buy. I paid $270 for my little backup .380. Since 1911s are en vogue now and few seem to have a msrp under $1k I'm not surprised. I had my eye on the STI Spartan because of the low price but have yet to see some available locally.
 
I'll second your opinion Taylor, I've been looking for a .22 lr/wrm (I don't know if I got my abbreviation correct) revolver; used was fine. I visited a couple of larger pawn shops in Tri-Cities and found that the prices were comperable to new prices from most of the internet sales places: Cheaper than Dirt, Davidsons, etc. So were shotguns. I've been looking for a used 243/7mm/6.5mm Savage model 99. My God, the prices being asked for Savage 300 (the most common caliber) is $550-800. Ouch. This rifle is non-existant in the Central WA area and if you find one, the price will be $900 up.
 
I noticed a couple weeks back that everything was selling fairly fast.At one time,almost the whole front page of Washington adds were "sold/close thread"

And I love the fact that more people are buying guns.

I have yet to find a pawnshop that wasnt asking utterly ridiculous prices for their guns. There is one in McMinnville that wanted $300 for a used HiPoint a while back. You would think that pawnshops would be the place to go for cheap guns, but apparently not.
