Or ask 1000$ for your "RARE" Glock then drop the price down by 100$ each day until you sell it for 400$

You can do that?

[mikegideon]

Great price = sold in 1 hour or less. Fair market price = who knows when. A deal that's too good to pass up creates urgency. A deal that you can probably find next week... not so much.

[runco]

Long day, I assume SPF means "sold pending funds", I was brain dead and googled SPF Acronym, I am sure it doesn't mean squirel proof feeder, does it? http://www.acronymfinder.com/SPF.html

[Steelharp]

Giveaway = sold in 1 hour or less. Fair market price = who knows when. A deal that's too good to pass up creates urgency. A deal that you can probably find next week... not so much.

FTFY.

And yes, SPF is sold pending funds.

[JeffsSig]

OK now whats FTFY stand for?

But Glocks drop in value 25-30% as soon as you shoot them unless you're selling one instead of trying to buy one, right??

[mikegideon]

FTFY.

And yes, SPF is sold pending funds.

OK, whatever you wanna call it. Just based on what I've seen.

[Steelharp]

"Riiiiight!"

(voopa, voopa) "NOAH!"

My favorite is the "Rare!.....One of a Kind!".......no picture.

My favorite is: "From my personal collection".

Really?? So that's the reason you're allowed to overvalue your firearm??

Or is that to distinguish this item from the firearms you're selling that were found in the gutter?? :squint:

I check Armslist every so often just to have a laugh. Occasionally there are reasonable prices on there, but I love the CAI AKs "tricked out" being sold for a grand, or a cheapo AR being "let go" at 1600. I don't understand the marking up of gun sales. It doesn't seem to pass the common sense test for me... if I pay 600 for a gun, then use it for a few years should I expect to get 600 for it? I have no heartburn letting it go for half of what I paid considering I've gotten at least 300 worth of enjoyment out of "renting" it. I dunno, just an observation. If it ain't selling, there is probably a reason for it and it ain't because everyone but you undervalues your firearm.

That is sometimes used by those who always have guns for sale, just in case "big brother" is watching. That way no one thinks they are operating for-profit operation.

There is a guy in Smithville who sells guns on ###.com, and he uses that phrase in every single ad since being visited by the authorities because he always has several guns for sale.

[Patton]

No, the guy in Smithville is so overpriced I don't think he has ever sold one. There is a guy in Hilham that sales 10-20 guns a month, I can't believe the ATF hasn't been to visit him.
