Moving like pond water…..

When firearms are close to the price they are new then the item tends to not sell unless another manufacturered scare happens.

As for peoples' pricing in the marketplace, that is their business.

I have one for sale that says cash only. But for you I’ll make an exception… pm me with the 2 guns that are double the value and we’ll talk.

Bruh, You noted the time this tread started like 4 and 5 am. and coming off a Saturday night?
Things that make you go Hmmmm?

Louisiana folks seem to always want close to retail prices for most everything second hand, including guns. It can be next to worn out and they still want 90% of retail. You have to go to Texas to find deals. Yes, I'm from Louisiana.

I spent 9 years traveling overseas and believe me it is not just Louisiana.

Was the used firearm and optic market like it is now before covid hit? I never browsed before then.

I feel like we are at an absolute standstill with this site. The same guns for sale sitting stagnant being pushed up, and up, and up…. Nobody wants to trade anything. Nobody is buying anything. Everything is moving like pond water…. I hate to say this, but I feel like the only time stuff starts moving around is after something bad happens. Right after someone starts saying that something is about to get banned. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad we are all at a point where we are decently satisfied with the firearms we own, but the few that we are not satisfied with are steadily dropping their priced value. Everyone is listing their stuff as for sale and no trades. That’s great and all, but the price of gas and food are steadily rising and people just aren’t coming off that dollar like we were let’s say last year. Last year, guns were selling and being traded daily and sometimes hourly. Now I can click on a firearm that I would like to own and BAM for sale only…. I can offer 2 guns at double the value and the answer is still no, I only want cash…. You have had this listed for months and nothing. Price drop, new price drop, dropping price again, final price drop….. In the end it is absolutely the discretion of the lister/seller to make a deal with someone. I vote we start moving some of these firearms around and unclench these anal glands. Clearly there aren’t people rolling in money, but we gotta help each other…
I’m heating up the popcorn…. What say you???

I think you answered your own question, mostly, but I’ll add this:
Likely not going to change for a while. It is what it is. We are where we are and the market ain’t moving. If you need to sell something at the moment, you’ll have to lower your asking price to meet this buyer’s market. Some of us sitting on the sidelines with cash at the ready. Ready for the next step. People will take less money for something when they reach a certain level of need. I’ve lived through these times a time or two and the only thing you can really do is be prepared and don’t stress about something you can’t control.
If I really wanted to spend some money right now, I’d buy more ammo. That’s about to make another splash. Otherwise, offer what you’re willing to spend. You might get a willing seller. Just look at how cheap it is to build AR’s at the moment.

Oh yeah it began when the mellinials got into firearms

Is that what it is? lol

I recently started looking again at either trading or buying outright, but to be honest some of the prices here are pants on head retarded. I’m not paying new prices or in some cases above new prices for a used gun.

If it’s priced right it will move. Most of what I’m seeing is priced at top dollar, trying to get every penny out of what they bought. It’s their right but as a buyer I’d rather buy new and put my own mods on than pay you guys new prices and pay for your choice in mods. Just my preferences as the cash buyer.

Just because you have every gadget invented hanging on your rifle doesn’t make it custom nor does it appeal to everyone.

BigChillin has a .308 that's caught my eye a time or two. LOL

I spent some money recently on some serious deals on clearance clothing. Decent gear for 50% or 25% of (not off) the usual price. Makes me assume this economy has people spending less so retailers aren't selling as usual. If that's the case, naturally it'll take a toll on everything.

Sky-high inflation and I assure you the left will keep voting left, voting for more inflation, while griping about prices.

Exactly lol.

But I agree bs market is stale.. I have moved a lot of item in ar15.com for asking price plus shipping.. I usually just try local and knock off $20-$50 plus shipping for a while before I go on there lol… maybe Louisiana is being hit pretty hard..

I enjoy the trading aspect of guns. I enjoy shooting something new, cleaning them, and trying different attachments on them before I try to bless the next guy with a wonderful weapon. I can’t stand when someone tries to trade me a dirty gun. I’m talking full of dog hair, skin, dirt, grease, or anything else that traps nasty things lol. I like to have them clean enough to eat off of….. But trading makes me happy!

I thought this looked familiar.

Everyone selling guns and not trading trend…

It seems like trading guns right now are at a screeching halt. Wasn’t long ago when you looked at ads on BayouShooter and you could see blue WTT more than you would see green WTS on all types of ads. What gives? I enjoy trading as do most people I come in contact with over the past few years I...
