Yep....I see lots of neat and or good guns and such here for sale...True there is a lot of good stuff for sale just nothing that I am interested in !
I don't know why but tons of used guns are priced at or above what you can get them for new ! I think you just have to add "RARE" or " UNOBTANIUM" to the add and the 50% markup is totally justified lol .At the LGS, purchasing new guns for the same price less the "buyer pays" transfer fee.
This is especially true on lower dollar firearms. It really sucks to pay $30 in transfer fees to buy a $40 lower receiver.The added cost of the BGC and the hassle of the wait is a deal killer for sure. I am just focusing on what is in my safe and enjoying .
That's where your group of friends come in handyI wouldn't mind buying if.....
There were firearms listed that I was interested in.....
And the BGC for private sales went away.....
And......If...the item I wanted was for sale the same time I had money....

This is pretty much me. I've got guns in the back that I should pull out and fondle, wipe done, run a patch through just for the heck of it.The added cost of the BGC and the hassle of the wait is a deal killer for sure. I am just focusing on what is in my safe and enjoying .
It seems that classified used to be:IF they came up at a can't-pass-it-up price
You do have to wonder about the effect the aging of the "super gunowners" (different thread) will have on firearm prices. I know quite a few old guys that have extensive firearms collections, but not many young guys that do. (I'm not saying they don't exist.) In my family, guns generally get passed down to the next generation. Sadly, it seems like each next generation gets a little less interested in firearms or are interested in different types of firearms. I myself have inherited a gun or two that I've never fired. This lack of interest seems especially true with regards to reloading. I'm not all that old yet, but I can see a time when I will just sell all of my reloading equipment and supplies since none of the next generation in my family have shown much interest.My brother and I joke back and forth about, "He who dies with the most toys wins".
Now @ 84, I realize that, he who dies with the most toys...is dead.
Exactly the point I was attempting to make a couple of posts above. My son and his friends don't appreciate the same things me and my friends do. I remember once asking my daughter (about 8 at the time) if she would like to shoot one of grandpa's old Winchester gallery guns. Her response: "Not really." She was more interested in the Ruger Charger.'Cause many of the guys I shoot with or have shot with...own these types of guns...and being that they are older...
When they are gone...even if their guns are of a good brand and shape...
I kinda doubt that they will sell fast or even be desirable for trade in's,
