Probably true and perfectly legal.

I have to admitt, I have sold a Glock used for the same price as a new one. I am not sure why the guy paid more for it but he was legal and he had no issues with it.
Glocks are totaly over priced on here and other boards. I think the reason is: people that are buying them are not legal to buy them. Yes they may have a carry permit but that doesn't mean they can buy a gun. If that person has a domestic violence since they got the permit NICS will decline the purchase. You/me/us, may think everyone is "legal", but think again.
I am not trying to end private sales, obviously I think we would all agree that gun sales private party to criminals should end. My point of this thread is finding out the "value" of owning a gun not registered to your name???? It that not PC in the gun world?? I'm as much of a gun guy as the rest of you, but I can't help but find it odd when people will overpay for a used glock or keltec that is stocked at all local shops just so it is not in their name???
I feel like no one wants to admit there is "value" to not having a gun in their name??? Whether they can legally own it or not, or just don't want it in their name. My burning question is WHY????
I hear ya, that is the worse part. It is hard for people to price things "normal" if they know they can get more. I understand how economics work but it is scary when it comes to guns and the legalities of owning one and the "value" of something being "not on the books".
I don't know how it is where you live but here in OR you can walk into any gun shop any day of the week and pick up a new gen 3 glock for $499 plus $10 background. No shipping, no transfers, no waiting so that may be why people overpay there but that is no reason to overpay here.
BS... For unknown reasons I always get a 3 days wait on my background check started about 2007... I hold a CC permit in 3 states but still have to wait.
