Re: Used guns seem to cost almost like new ones.Comments?

I would hazard the guess that its because, if well maintained, guns dont decay. A lightly used ten year old 1911 is just as good as a brand new one. Heck I've got a rifle that is over 100 years old that still works!

the only reason I've been seeing their price depreciate is with wear. I.E. shot out bore, cracked furniture, missing parts, etc.

As maddening as it is to be on the buying end looking for a good deal, its nice to know that once I do buy a gun, I can get most of my money back out of it if I ever need to*. Try saying that with ANY other product made today.


* Unless the gun in question is an EBR bought between Nov 08 and Apr 09. ;-)
