If you buy a SPS Varmint from a local store for $800, use it, and want to sell it, Dont list it for $700 as a great deal like new, when I can order the same gun from Ellwood Epps for $650 new.
Just because you paid more to start with, doesnt make the gun worth more.
You see alot of this on the EE.
Bang on the money! If you get ripped off, it is over and done with, you will never get your money out of it unless you rip someone else off. There is a point when someone should not even respond to offers, some offers are so ignorant that deserve to be ignored. Case in point I was PM'ed and offered a trade.
The long and the short of it was that other person wanted me as a dealer to pay the full retail (he was ripped off by 30% to begin with) on used gun buy trading it on 2 guns I would have to sell at our wholesale price. Somehow I became the scam artist because I was not interested in loosing money just because. Some people are bold, and do not mind asking for something for nothing.
When you get certian members who put in offers of half the fair market value on a hundred items in hopes of getting 1 or 2 for a steal, dont even waste your time responding. It like going to a Open house of a property worth $300 000 FMV, and saying, I will give you $175 000. Dont expect the agent to even write the offer.
