The CZickness X

[T-DOGG]

I feel your pain. I had a nice sign on bonus and a fairly large fed return and both had to go straight to debt...

Morning fellas.

Congrats, DOGG. Hoping you can get that debt taken care of, I know you've wanted to do this for a long time. Very smart move on your part.

Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Thank you for the support guys. I have a 6 month plan to be free of credit card and medical debt. It's very doable, but requires a sacrifice I'm not used to making.

I am working that way myself. Not a lot of debt but I smashed the one card I have to finish the back yard project.

It's been said many times. These things are just that, things. They are all replaceable. What you are trying to do ain't easy. It's like a drug addict selling off his stash. It will be rough, there will be temptation, but keep that end goal it mind. Imagine how it will feel not having that debt hanging over you. You'll do just fine.

Being debt free is a great idea! I'm working that way myself and it's not easy. Good luck!

A lot of adult discussions this morning. Weird. Not sure I'm in the right thread.

Adults? Where?

I have been considering taking a few pieces to the 1500 when I man the Ingo table. Lovemywoods did this last year and moved several from his collection.
Thing is, I would have to near give away these pieces as compared to investment. I never do this for profit. I am not geared for such endeavors.
the 1911's and the AR's are built well past the current market. I have zero intentions of moving any CZ's.

I have decided that I no longer want/need/enjoy a scoped rifle. I had my Ruger American .22lr set up with a nice Vortex and a Harris bipod, but just do not enjoy shooting it like that. I've gotten stupid good accuracy out of it, but it's just not fun for me. I thought about selling the whole package together, but I do still enjoy a nice .22 bolt gun for my backyard quiet plinking. Pulled the bipod off last night and will be pulling the scope off, upgrade the irons and make it something I will enjoy.

I used to love running irons. As time and eyesight pass by my needs have changed. I do like my Vortex Strikefires on the AR's.

I have one more to sell, at least for now.

Hmmm... that's a thought. I hate the idea of letting it go, but the CCO might sell better in person...

Tom, I think you have to high expectations on that piece. The market will not support your asking price right now. I am in the same boat so I feel your pain.
Sad truth of the matter for sure.

The only time I get even close to what I really need for one of mine is when a friend wants one and is willing to step up. Beyond that I loose my tail most times.

Yeah, I hate to admit it but you're probably right. Sucks because the gun normally sells for ~$1300 new and I'd gone down to $1100 with no bites. Heck, I had to drop $25 off the G**** and I thought it was underpriced to begin with...

 

[Birds Away]

The market is very soft.

The CCO is a $900 dollar piece right now. Sad truth.
Trump knocked the bottom out of the gun market. It is a good and a bad thing at the same time. Good for buyers.....bad for those who will loose out when moving what they have.

Thing is, this is how the market was when I got into it again when I joined ingo. If you could get 75% of original purchase price it was a stellar deal all around.
Cars/bikes/boats and yes.....guns. Once bought they are used.

Thankfully that's the only thing that's soft......

Well, at that price I'll keep the gun, that's for sure....

On the plus side, maybe I can score a good deal with the prices so soft. Gotta look at the positive side...

Cajun Gun Works is about to release a new and improved disconnector that is supposed to drop a full pound of the DA. I have a couple of guns whose DA pull is just a few ounces over 5lbs. I have to say I can't even imagine a DA pull of 4+ lbs. That would be insane. Let's see...$40 a pop times xxx = Aw crap.

That is my point....bad for the seller....good for the buyer. This will be the norm for a long time. One will have to think this way until another gun grabber gets elected and then it will be nuts again.

Market's level out on their own. I have seen this with most all the hobby/passions I have been involved with.
