guide gun price offer

[303carbine]

I just had a guy offer me a whopping $350 for my Marlin Guide gun....
I thought ...geez that's a good deal and then promptly said..... no!
Then he offered me a non matching Jungle Carbine as a straight across trade.

 

[eltorro]

I agree with you in saying no to that one.
Can you give me that guy's ph#, so I can say no too?

On the Equip. Ex. as in real life, some are asking way to much and others are offering way to low, Marlin levers are popular right now and fetch a good dollar, we sell all we can get at the store. Get a price fixed in your mind and stick to it, if it's within reason..you'll get legit offers instead of scammers like above.

45-70

He made that offer after he found out I purchased a stainless one, I guess he thought I needed the money.
If he was a lawyer he would be chasing ambulances......

why not trade for an SKS?

I've got a used Cooey single shot 12 ga. Stock only has one crack in it and the rust on the barrel should clean up really easy. Straight trade! My grandfather told me it was really valuable as there were only a few hundred ever made!

Any takers?

 

[303carbine]

That's a real good offer, perhaps you spoke too soon and offered too much.

That's a real good offer, perhaps you spoke too soon and offered too much.

Now you wouldn't want to take advantage of a fellow GunNutz, of modest means, would you and not offer some extra cash to go along with my "rare" Cooey to take that beater Marlin off your hands, eh?

 

[martinbns]

caveat empour.
I see buyers listing with prices just as stupid as the offer that guy made to you.

 

[444shooter]

Yeah, the people who expect to get what they paid for the item, minus tax. Earth to people...it's still used!

 

[Salty]

The guy's a straight up arse hole 303carbine, don't give him the time of day!

I'll give you $400

 

[crazy_davey]

I'll give you $400

And thats about what a used, blued GG is worth

 

[captonion]

If its in 450 Marlin it was over what I would offer.45-70 around $400.

 

[cariboo_kid]

Yeah the used prices are a bit high these days with the renewed interest. We used to get lots on here for $400 or a bit more, but now it seems to be $550 - which is what they sell new for in Edmonton.

But for people who don't live in edmonton, it may still be significantly cheaper than new in their area. I had the owner of a small store offer me a big discount on one, and it was still $660 + tax. He was not trying to take advantage of me, his cost was higher.
