Your gun, Looking for a Steal

[dice dealer]

Where are you guys getting these $400 new Glocks ?

I must not go to the right store because every time I'm in one I'm seeing $5-600 prices for new guns .

I work in a gun store .

Kelly has a "blue book" for vehicles , is there such a book for guns ?

 

[Yamaha]

LE or govt discount.

Precisely, some dealers include corrections, fire, ex military, etc as well for it. Nice program imho

Yes, I don't know if it's made by the same people but if you take a used gun into a gun shop that is usually how they determine the value (or at least what they will pay for it). Of course, I always think my gun is worth more .

lol

Remmy 700 have dangerous triggers, so those can go for cheap. Glocks blow up, so again you can get rid of those.

But in all seriousness, we have a bunch of new members, and it seems like they are here for the classifieds. The rest of INGO, just has to continue to make INGO a reputable site.

raise the posts to 10,000 before u can go 2 classifieds 2 sell. maybe we should be buyn instead a selln anyway ??????

It's just that ..
It's called "The blue book of gun Values"

you can get it at most book stores . some gun stores ....

Yep

Exactly.....and you can buy it on CD as well. Fun to look through but not all that helpful, IMO.

i cant cover shipping for 5 bucks. make it 5 plus shipping and you have a deal

 

[flyinlow78]

While I've seen some crazy prices on here, it still pales in comparrison to what I've seen on Gunbroker. Plus, when I see $35-$50 for shipping, when I know what it costs to ship, I'd rather go support a local dealer.

The sad thing is that I don't think most people know what their guns are worth. They overpaid when they bought it, and they don't pay any attention to the market to realize that it depreciates when you sign the paper, just like driving a car off the lot.

Tell ya what. I will take the two steel targets AND the swagging tool for $20 plus shipping. OR we can meet tomorrow and I will pick them up from you face to face.

KokomoDave I'll trade you some sausages that a poodle s**t for the Q-tip

Little Foofie would be sooo disappointed!!!

For those of INGO's members that were in anyway offended by my pseudo quoting of R. Lee Ermey from the recent GEICO commercial in a post last night:

Example... "...Mamby Pamby Land...Jack Wagon.."

I guess I was in a mood last night and forgot how to treat people. Although I in no way intended to hurt anybody's feelings or insult anyone (I honestly thought it was funny), it was interpreted that way.

Mom always said "treat others as you want to be treated".

I feel that there is need to apologize to my fellow INGO members, and the intended recipient of the comment. Hat in hand..."I apologize".

The classifides can be hillarious at times. I'm amazed at what some of the asking prices for packages can be in many cases. More times than not all I can figure is that they bought the guns during the panic buying and want every penny they spent back now.

I've bought and sold guns in the classifides and on a couple occations I genuinely thought I was offereing really good deals on some guns, but odds are pretty good that if it hasn't sold in a month that the price wasn't low enough to sell it. I've had my pride rightly adjusted by the selling price of guns I've sold and I think some of the guns I bought did the same for other sellers. Nobody wants to hear it, but a used gun isn't worth nearly as much as the same gun brand new without the risk of whoever owned it previously.

 

[machete]

anyone else tired of people thinking the classifieds is a place where they can get a firearm for a fraction of the value?

nope ever heard of a motivated seller??? i expect to see book value at gun stores,,,i expect to see occasional motivated sellers in the classifieds...

just put $450 firm,,,and you shouldnt get any lowballers...

yep and a risk is what you take for sure. i cant begin to describe all of the freelance dumb ass gunsmith work ive seen done on guns that I have bought, and even some off here. you just never know. I advise people to look alittle closer the next time you do a FTF. Its the one shot you have before you hand over your money, make it count. some people will hide anything they can to pass it to the next guy! thats why if your buying, look at the guys seller rep, or try to.

 

[machete]

I have a hard time thinking there is any such thing as a "lowball" offer. If you're not interested, then just say no (or ignore). Don't be offended; that's childish. I'm not telling you that what you have is junk or that you're asking too much. I'm just telling you that if you want me to buy it, I will do so at a price that I like.

Sometimes people need money today more than they need to get exactly what they want for their gun. Those are the people I will do deals with.

Unless it's a very good deal, I'm not interested in driving to your city to pick up a gun that is probably in my local shop for $20 more. My two hours is worth more than $20 to me. And the guys in my local shop will make it right if there is anything wrong, 100% of the time. I've never had a FTF deal go bad, but it's always a possibility.

70% to 80% of market value is about the highest I'm usually interested in paying a private party.

lets call them what they really are CHEAP BASTARD offers. none of this motivated seller BS, if they were motivated they would price it lower from the get go.
