This has been covered before. Short answer because they can. Doesn't mean anyone or you has to buy them. Search if you want further.

They are looking for a sucker. when I sell a gun I price it as a used gun and it sells fast. over priced guns will take weeks or months to sell after the price is droped. Just buy your stuff on line from buds or grabagun and save money.

i believe it's because the spouse demanded that they sell the item and the FS is the
attempt to sell the item. natch, it won't, due to the high asking price. it's all
part of the plan 'selling' without selling.

Or some folks might have a WTT/WTS thread, but don't really want cash - they want a specific gun - thus setting the price a bit high to prod for the trade and discourage low ballers. There are PLENTY of low ballers on this sight - at least most of whom have enough tact to send their offers through PM's - though occasionally one throws up their offer in a thread.
If you don't like the price click the back button and move on.

I think some believe they can justify a high price even on a real P.O.S. because it's offered as an ftf transaction. Especially at this time, many are looking for "no paper" transactions while they still can, and others want to cash in on that.

moderator please close this thread..............
Ya know, I'm actually suprised that I haven't seen a gun for sale yet trying to capitalize off of the current events. I figured I'd see people putting up their ak's and ar's with a sales pitch of "get them before their outlawed" or "these mags will be no more next month".
It seems there actually are people out their with some compassion.

Oh and this. if you thought prices were bad they're going to get HORRIFFIC very soon!
Laziness I assume. It seems like every other week for years now I'm seeing a thread about which is the best AR to buy......

That isn't isolated to this forum. It is the norm on almost every forum to which I belong.

I think that many who are selling older guns are attempting to identify what the current market pricing is for their guns. Sometimes the only way to do that is to put the gun up at a high price and come down from that as others place what they consider to be a fair offer. That is why most list their price and then put OBO (or best offer) behind the price.
If you think the price is too high place a bid at what you think is a fair price and see if you can negotiate a price acceptable to both parties.
