I just don't reply to people who ask that shit. I've met some really cool people from buying and selling on Armslist but gosdamn there are way too many infuriating people out there.

I dont see why people cant do the following:

you cant just beg for the lowest price, you should negotiate.

Haggling is literal cancer. I can understand seeing the gun in person, noticing damage/imperfections not listed in the ad and asking for a discount, but trying to lowball someone before you've even held the thing in-hand is giga-kike behavior.
>>
>>29779007
Haggling is fine, normal, expected behavior, just not when the seller stated his price is firm in the ad.
>>
>>29778907
>whats the lowest you will take?
how do people think this is acceptable?
>>
>>29779015
It's fine when negotiating sums larger than the average person's yearly salary.

Haggling for the sake of haggling is 3rd-world tier.
>>
>>29779015
I disagree. You wouldn't go into a grocery store and try to Jew the cashier down on your total. By virtue of having a listed price, haggling is ass behavior, with the exception of when the seller says "OBO", "let's make a deal", or some variation thereof.

You realize this is solely a North American thing not to negotiate right.

Literally every place in the world minus a few first world countries with high GDP haggle.

Some cultures actually find it insulting when you don't haggle, Egypt for example.

I personally think everyone should negotiate, within reason. Some of these stories are a little silly though.
>>
>>29779084
my brother had someone offer him a broken ATV from the 90s that woulda cost more to fix than the gun was even worth, the worst part about all of it was that he was selling a DB .380 with 150 rounds of .380 and 50 hollow points for 300$
>>
>>29779166
>"m-mudhuts haggle, so why shouldn't I!?"

Because said mudhuts would literally starve without the money they save for haggling, and they NEED the gun to protect themselves from other mudhuts. You're blowing your tax return on a safe queen. Fuck you.

Oh no, we haggle here. Just don't haggle in many stores(grocery stores, for instance, employees would get fired if they took part in haggling)

But gun stores, pawnshops, private transactions like craigslist and more mom and pop oriented stores is where haggling is.

this fucking makes me lose it. i only sell guns to friends/family now because of this. but every time i try to sell a project car that i fix up on CL niggers are always asking info thats in the post, offering laughable lowballed prices for whats clearly listed as firm, and generally being skeevy.

i think thats seriously just how most people are. youre just an ad to them, and theyre trying to get something out of you using it. they may not genuinely be bad, theyre just dumb, lazy and have no sense of the manners that go with a transaction

As a former retail worker, this happens fairly often. In a retail setting it's stupid, but when paying a thousand or more it's completely normal to haggle, some people just suck dick at it or have a bad idea of what haggling is supposed to be.

>>retailers all have the same item and compete with each other on prices

In a sense, the retailers are haggling with one another to arrive at their prices. It's just uncommon for customers to have the power to haggle for new goods directly with a retailer.

>>29779602

I don't know who the fuck you're talking about, since that was my first post on /k/ about haggling, ever.

Whoever he is, though (whomever you're posting about) is obviously not as 3rd-world as you are.
>>
>>29779660

this. where I am I can't use armslist or craigslist because of the amount of inconsiderate fucks that use it.

It's always them never showing up at the specified time, not returning calls/emails, or showing up and claiming they don't have the proper amount or "tire kicking" the item for sale despite having been very thorough in the description to prevent said "tire kicking".

I wish ebay wasn't so rotten either so I could just remove the human element altogether.
>>
>>29779840
Jesus. Sold my old truck a while ago, and that shit killed me. Talked to the guy, disclosed all known issues (which were few and far between, but I described all of them/sent pics), agreed on a price $700 lower than asking ($3500 -> $2800), and the guy shows up, does a test drive, and then says "all I got is $2400" and gives me a sob story. Thanked him for his time and said I'll wait for a buyer who can meet the $2800. He had the money 2 days later.
>>
>>29779882

damn that's a huge amount of a discount you gave him. I never go more than 10% off. Hell, assholes are so use to messing with price I just tack on 15% more than I want to get and watch them try and lowball me anyway.

vin checking sites are a godsend too. There was a thread on /o/ that I used a few times when I was buying a car and sure enough most of the vehicles had serious accidents or issues yet the seller was passing off a clean title. it's honestly disgusting to see so many people try to take advantage of others like that.

Nah I've had mostly the same experience, maybe it's because I live in a southern city full of engineers and mil types that aren't stupid shitbags but I've done a ton of buying and selling using armslist and it's all gone smoothly EXCEPT for one time.

> see ad listed for an Eotech 552 for 250 bucks first come first serve only 2 left

> blurry ass pic and wants a check sent to him and then he will mail it to you (this for some reason didn't set off my bullshit-dar because I'm a greedy Jew)

> email him and tell him I'll give him $270 cash today if I can pick it up in person

> turns out he's more of a greedy Jew and gives me his home address and we set up a time to meet later that day

> pull up to house, knock on door and hear the howls of 3 billion dogs, opens door and he's 600 lbs, he hands me a shitty little white box and shows me the Eotech and it actually looks and feels legit, thought Eotech might have some shitty bulk buy packaging that was different than retail

> give cash, go back to car to inspect further but something feels wrong, get out my phone and type Eotech 552 on YouTube and see a video titled "Eotech 552 knockoff" like 6 videos down, it's the same shitty fucking packaging and everything and they retail for $40 from China

> God fucking damnit

> get out of truck, put on gun in owb holster, knock on door. Really don't want to deal with any further bullshit out of this cunt so I just say I'm having second thoughts and he could hold it for me if I change my mind. I'm guessing he noticed the gun on my hip because he didn't put up much of a fight and gave me my cash back, get back in truck and leave

Honestly Chinese knockoff Eotech wasn't even in my mind until I saw the video, MUCH LESS somebody being stupid enough to try and sell a knockoff Eotech to a stranger who has guns and knows his fucking home address. Still blows my fucking mind to be honest.

Other than that armslist has been peachy.

Sympathy varies according to state laws. In NH, you only need to be 18, it takes 14 days, and costs $10 to get. So, I either require that or an FFL transfer. A P&R License isn't perfect, sure, but it's a reasonable check.

It's not just private sale that produces idiots, gun shops do it too.

Example: Collector's Guns in Houston, Texas. They have shotguns and rifles worth $250 or less going for $500-$700. I went in there the other day and found a M91/30 in pretty shitty condition for $600.

You mean Collectors Firearms?

I go there occasionally, it's really fun to look at their stuff.

I feel like some of their stuff is fairly priced. but yeah, they've really inflated their mosin prices.

Last time I went there (which was a couple of months ago) their mosins were like 400. A PU was like 500.

They definitely like to haggle though, one guy didn't seem interested in a Mauser and just said "make me an offer" like he wanted it out of his store, and then said he'd give me all the ammo for it he had back home (the rifle was his until a week before, he traded it for an AR, this was right after Sandyhook)
>>
>>29780365

they operate on the idiot customers and have to make high margins on sales due to low inventory. that kind of business model doesn't last long however. lucky for me I have 2 enormous LGS near me that sell guns for a little more than online. customer service sucks shit though.

maybe if he was in NYS that wouldn't be that bad of a deal, i'd bet you could talk him down to 450 500, call him out on the "new" bullshit. all matching Chink sks's are harder to come by but it's certainly not a selling point.

you are not a smart man, but that could of been inferred by the fact that a major source of your income is selling shit at a flee market.

people are willing to pay slightly higher prices for purchasing something at a brick and mortar store... or in this case regional garbage sale, but not get taken to the fucking cleaners.

Not necessarily. Sometimes, it's just priced too high for that particular market. I had an old FN 1910 that I tried to sell locally, but the highest offer I got was $250. When I sold it on Gunbroker later, I got $425.

For common guns, I agree that you're probably going to be right, but if it's something uncommon, or just an uncommon variant of a common firearm that has a slightly higher value, the only way to get the true value is to sell it to a bigger market.

All of this.

I figure a fair price is about midway between what the gun store would pay you to buy it off you, and what you paid for it new. Or, about the same as it goes for used, depending. Of course, if the used market on them is going gangbusters, fair is fair.

Fuck that "I could sell it for X on gunbroker" logic. No you couldn't, asshole. 18 people have them priced at X, and they all have 0 bids.

What collectors is good for is ordering guns that are out of stock (everywhere, like, say a KSG). They are honest, they don't get the guns in and put them on Gunbroker like a bunch of twats do. They actually go to the person in line.
>>
>>29780670
That's true to a point, but occasionally you'll encounter brick and mortar stores who are selling a product at so far above market value that it strains credibility. This occurs particularly frequently at gun shows. Anyone with $75 .22 bricks, chinese aftermarket parts, and a whole box of Anderson lowers for $125 each, who launches into a rant about "online vs the little guy," is probably gouging. I see no reason to support an asshole like that

not 50% above MSRP

the buyer when confronted by some kike who does this tells the seller he needs to unfuck himself to ensure the royal you's continued patronization in hopes that you simply don't know that you're a massive kike. Then you dash their faith in humanity against the rocks by responding that you're just there to price gouge the ignorant.

I see the same thing at gun shows, my friendly local good ole boy club that also sells guns, and any type of "pay to enter" style bazaar (like a gun show, music festival, etc.)
If I've developed a rapport with the people I don't bring up what massive kikes they are, but they usually in confidence bring up how being small fly by night businesses they can't get most things wholesale and mostly rely on drunk people remembering their ATM pin, never expecting me to buy from them. Gun shops though are already a trust style business model, so they don't get the free pass about fucktarded prices.

For the love of fuck, stop selling off ONLY your front iron sight because you scoped the rifle, and then don't sell it with any glass...

Of course I'm dropping the price by $150 or more. You're selling me a gun I can't use until I put more money into it.

Course I found a deal on glass, so he would have been better off not selling the front sight for a quick fifty bucks

I hate it more when the seller goes into detail about all the small changes and additional parts they put into the rifle and then want to charge and absurd amount more because of it.

Well, sure, the honest businesses have every right to be a little sensitive about people demanding Amazon pricing.

These threads are always full of babies that don't realize materials loose value over time. In private sales of ANYTHING value is decided upon by the seller and the buyer.

It's legal in NY for FFLs to transfer stripped ar lowers but most won't "just to be safe." They are just protecting themselves, can't say that's wrong but it lets the gun control assholes win.

I sell firearms regularly in private sales (my collection is a revolving door, ive owned roughly 40 but only have 5 in my current collection)

1. Always state every detail, clearly, in the ad. Especially the legal requirements, where im willing to travel, and the financial arrangements
2. Only leave an email, and qualify them when they contact you. I do not respond to anyone trying to lowball me, who seems gangsta, who doesnt seem to know what they're doing, or anyone who even remotely tries to bend the rules of the ad (even just asking to meet 1 town over from what i listed)
3. I confirm ALL details of the ad with the person and if thats all good, i confirm a meeting place (gunstore, always) and give them a number
4. If they flake even once or have any issue and cant do the deal I drop them and move on.

I have sold each gun for like-new prices despite having 4,000-10,000 rounds through each and have sold them all within 48 hours.

I have all of these rules in place because i learned each one of them the hard way. By being selective I make more money more easily. Never have a problem anymore.

During the transaction I also thoroughly go over everything I'm selling. I operate and disassemble the firearm, and have them reassemble it in front of me.

I've had pretty good experiences with private sales.

Bought a XDs 3.3 in .45 with 3 magazines 2 were extended with the slip on finger sleeves. As well as the box and other goodies from a guy at a gas station in the morning.

Sold it to another guy a town over and bullshitted with him about how he was wanting a compact .45 and this was perfect and told him why I was selling it to buy another handgun I had been looking for locally to pop up.

3rd experience I met the guy at a home depot to buy his CZ P-01 with 2 14 round magazines with the rubber pinky extensions and one 10 round mag. 2 boxes of Magtec 9mm and even had a set of VZ grips on there for $500. He asked me how old I was and I showed him my ID and made a joke about being a baby face.

All 3 pretty good experiences.

Yeah those guys are assholes, went there a year ago and they tried to sell me a sks that was beat to shit for $900.
Cabelas that just opened up isn't much better IMO.

I'm a nice guy. If you don't want to negotiate that's fine. If you have a fair price we don't need to negotiate anyway. That's why I get pissed off when sellers capitalize words in their ads. You are preemptively treating me like a jerk. If under treat the person who wants to buy your stuff like an ass before you've spoken with him, then you can piss off.

This right here, applies to everything, not just guns. I moved to a smaller city for a killer job and went to sell some stuff... nobody could pay close to what it was worth so it went up on ebay and sold immediately.

>>29781583
No he is making sure he is not selling to a felon. If you don't like what the buyer wants no one is forcing you to buy from them. You can also argue price because you have to pay for ffl exchange.

Gun Emporium up in Conroe is breddy gud, as is Spring Guns and Ammo in Spring. Both have knowledgeable staff. Little pricey for some stuff but usually not too bad, and both places have ranges and will give you a free range pass with a purchase so you can shoot your new acquisition right off the bat.

>"WTB: Colt Python. But I ain't getting ripped off! All reasonable offers accepted."

Translation: "Sure, you COOUUUULD sell your Python on Gunbroker for three large, if you were an asshole. But why not sell it to me for a cool six hundo?"

Saw a LOT of that shit during the Great Habbening, mostly people wanting to buy AR-15s but "not wanting to get ripped off."

My wife had her cousin text me on april fool's day asking if I would take a taurus judge and $300 for my springfield TRP. It was an almost perfect example of what happens on armslist.

Drum sets.

There is a guy on our local armslist who will offer his drum set for anything and everything from a 2000 dollar Noveske to a 150 dollar hipoint. Nobody has taken him up yet.

Also the guys who want to trade 6 year old emachines for durr hunting raifuls.

10 gauge should have got a cash offer back at him.

Prior to the 1968 GCA no markings were required on long guns. 10 Gauges are also uncommon enough that having one for even 200 might be worth the novelty.
>>
>>29780614
A buddy of mine who had a ccw would always buy those guns and turn around and sell them back to his nigger and meth head friends.

You aren't going to outsmart anyone doing that.

jesus. I got an actual "new" condition Norinco from someone my work buddy knew for only $200 last month, I couldn't imagine paying much more than that for one in perfect condition, let alone the beat to shit condition 98% of SKS are in.

I doubt that unless you're firing off a dissertation on why the price should be lower.
Sounds more like you're too impatient to wait for a reply which isn't the same as your time being more valuable, more a lack of impulse control.

I find them acceptable assuming you have a PS90 or some "would otherwise be an SBR" gun with a barrel that looks disproportionately long

But you might as well just make it an SBR

Yea. I sold some tacti cool Mossberg "sniper rifle" to some kid on this board. I told him to make an offer and he offered $550 so I took it. Was only worth ~$300....Dick mode? Sure, but the annoying messages after telling me how his friends laughed at him and told him he got ripped and he asked ME how much it's really worth.

eotech, aimpoint, trijicon, and other major supplier bulk packaging that i've ordered comes with multiple scopes or whatever in a cardboard carton with labelled smaller cardboard packets inside it separated by sleeves with syrofoam or vacuum pack filler on the top and bottom. trijicon ships 8 to a box for example.

the only OEM/LEA/MIL packaging that's white that I know of is aimpoint, and they have a little barcoded labelled on each box showing batch number and number 1 of 8 (or 4 of 8) and who packed it.

M16's are shipped in cardboard too.
