I think many sellers suffer from RBS - Right Buyer Syndrome. They price the gun high and then it sits, like an iceberg, hoping the Titanic will come along. Selling guns works best when the Right Price Syndrome holds sway. Look at the guns that recently sold in our members section. The one thing they had in common was they were priced right and were picked up within hours of listing. Finding vintage doubles, rifles, pistol is easy today. Anyone with interest and a smart phone can shop anytime they want. At any hour of the day there are thousands of Parker’s available. I dont think it’s a soft market as much as it is an educated market. If you can’t sell guns you’re asking more than they are worth today.

And maybe you paid too much for them to begin with. That's always been my mantra, "Buy high, sell low."

I’ve contacted some sellers on here and on gunsinternational offering what I’d consider a fair price only to have them respond with a counter offer that’s $25 less than their asking price. I usually don’t even respond after that. Their are guns still for sale on gunbroker that were there when I first joined the PGCA in March, 2016. Makes me wonder what the seller is thinking? After more than a year, maybe, just maybe your price is a too high.

That is nothing. A number of guns have been out there for 6-8 years.

It's been my experience that when the cost of guns as a percentage of ones gross net value is higher,
so is the perceived value and subsequently the asking price of guns for sale. Just my .02 |
