One thing to consider is that generally it's not just $50 less than new retail. It's 50 dollars, plus ffl, plus tax or shipping. And unless a gun has been in one of our famous floods or used as a hammer or lever of some sort, used is typically not an issue.
It's a terrible time to sell

Brawny, you do make a good point. Even if buying at a local brick and motar store where they may not charge an ffl transfer fee, and no shipping, if the firearm is $400 and the tax is 10%, thats another $40 added to the price of the firearm.

I've personally taken advantage of the rebates and great sales on new guns over the last 6-8 months. I've mostly shopped with online sellers offering free or cheap shipping and then used my favorite FFL for reasonable transfers. I've been able to snag some good deals this way.
I've been shopping used guns lately, but most folks haven't been able to make the deals worthwhile compared to the the cash rebates or gear packages from companies like S&W or Springfield.

In my experience anything over $500 on here is "good luck". Other forums $ 2,000 - 3,000 optics and guns sell every day. Given the state of the oil bust in Louisiana, "good luck".
It seems that many of us value our weapons very highly, which is rightly so, we know the time and money that has gone into certain weapons we own. When it comes time to sell, you want some of that back.
Now reality check, new prices are bottoming out. Ive seen some insanely low prices lately on new guns on both the internet and local stores. Seems everyone is dumping overstock at amazing prices. Its hard to justify spending 1k on an AR when the same ones new are 600. Same with AKs as well. WASRs are running brand new in the 600-700 range right now.
And as far as accessories go, it seems many people don't discount the price of those as used. I understand they add value, but taking $20 bucks off the original price of a $500 part.....
Ive always traded, it seems you can get better value and come to an agreement a lot easier than an outright sale. Both people usually walk away feeling satisfied in a trade transaction.

Definitely a time to buy, brownells had complete 300 blackout AR's last week for $329.99 shipped. That is less than aks were selling for in the mid 2000's.
I am just waiting for ammo to drop in a price a little more and I will be stocking up.

Moe: you and a coupke othwrs have a couple guns for sale I'd like to pick up. I just don't have enough cash at the moment that I could even make you a reasonable offer. I don't like to insult/lowball People, so I'm just trying to get money up before I bother... i could do a trade but nobody wants what I have so... .... i hate being broke during a buyers market time like this.

We have permanent threads for that--it's called the Classified Section.
Maybe what you are referring to is a permanent section in Classifieds for WTT only.
People will still offer what they don't want in their gun safes for what you have regardless if it's in your list of what you want to trade for items.
