Folks who use our members only for sale page have become accustomed to the seller continuously dropping his price - sometimes within a few days while others stretch it out over a few weeks, but potential buyers have learned to continue to wait until the price is dropped to a level these buyers consider a good deal. This “good deal” price is often below the gun’s actual value but they have learned how to play the game.
I’ve tried to sell guns on this forum but learned my lesson years ago... yet I still do it from time to time.

Sometimes it seems as though some folks are collecting “perceived bargains “ as much as they are shotguns.
