Re: At What Price Point For A Used Gun Do You Say No Thanks?

The value of anything, has nothing to do with what the seller hopes to get, but what a buyer is willing to pay. Those who sell used products, guns, or other items, is at the mercy of "what the market will bear"
Those who overpay, for things, haven't done their homework, so they deserve what they get, in my opinion. I don't blame a seller for trying to get top dollar for what they offer for sale, but I can simply ignore it if I think it is too much.
I shop pawn shops on a regular basis, and before I make an offer on anything, I know what it costs new, and what I am willing to pay. Pawn dealers usually pay about 25% of the actual value of what they buy, so I can usually estimate how much they have invested, and can make an offer accordingly. If they won't come down to what I consider a fair price, I am no worse off for walking away.
