I fine good older smiths selling fine, new not so much, That is for wheel guns, 14,17,586 etc
22 target guns in my area or off, unless they are crappy cheap GSG's, or MK 2,3 at 300.oo tops.
SSA are selling O.K., Rare has a demand, but limited market, ie HK P7's

^^^ this.
Also many wont take time to put up pictures and when they do they do not take time to clean their weapon for sale. I sold 2 used firearm lately and they both went fairly quickly. I do take real good care of my toys and clean them every time i hit the range. And yes many out there have no clue of a used gun value, they do overprice them. Also remember that added parts on a gun does not make them more expensive, depending on the gun you end up assuming the cost of those parts. Added value on a gun is mainly how well it’s been maintain in good shape and the brand. Glocks for instance go fairly well on the market, so do 1911’s if not chinese.
Good luck and hit me privatly, i could be on the market for a new toy
. Let me know what you have

good point also. I prefer to customize my pistols my way, but those are my keepers.
unless they are built professionally, your additions actually devalue the gun. Return the gun to stock, sell the parts separately.
also listing the gun with low round count, but you have 10 mags doesn't help, unless the mags are sealed in packaging
As an exemple, i saw a Norc at 800$ because the person got the frame and probably put more in parts then the original value of the gun. If you plan on modifying a gun, instead of going with an entry level toy, get something with resl added value to start with, you will end up selling it much more faster and loose less money. That could be another thread for sure :/good point also. I prefer to customize my pistols my way, but those are my keepers.

Exactly, even though some add ons are nice or even make the gun work better, the person buying may not want that and just see the gun they want at a higher price than bought new!good point also. I prefer to customize my pistols my way, but those are my keepers.

After all is said and done, this/\ is what it all boils down to. Law of supply and demand trumps all other theories.
