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.

>whats the lowest you'll take

this shit.

I dont see why people cant do the following:

>i see you want $900, could you take $800 if we meet close to you?

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

>>29778907
>what's yer bottom line price?
God dammit, I'm not a pawn shop, and even if I were, that's such a shitty way to haggle.

>I bought this $850 gun
>Put a $150 tapco stock on it
>Sat in a safe all year, never used
>Asking only $1300

Why is it allowed for these people to live?

>>29778907
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.

>post gun for sale, reasonable price and possible trades listed

>>29779039
You again, huh. Why don't you do us all a favor and try not to derail the thread this time. We've all heard your bullshit a hundred times when you derailed every other Armslist thread in the history of /k/. Let us have an unshitted up thread for once, OK?

>>29779056
Just fuck off. No one cares.

>>29779084

>>29779056
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.

>>29779166
Stop. Don't engage him. Don't even give him any (You)s.

This shit is why I don't sell any of my guns or buy privately.

>>29779166
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

k thx for reading

Can someone supply me with pictures of their guns to make fake ads to fuck with these guys

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.

>>29779280

I've only had two experiences with private sales, both were good

>Met dude in parking lot, was a no nonsense country dude, looked at the gun and asked some basic questions and then paid my friend.

>Second me and said friend drove to a guys house so I could buy a pre-ban tec-9
>Despite the guy being in his mid-40's, was really energetic and carefree. Made the whole process a lot more fun and easy.

Did I just get lucky or is this normal?

>>29779434
>>retailers all have the same item and compete with each other on prices
>>haggling is rare or non-existent due to uniformity of the market
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
It seems like the vast majority of actual sales are normal, but there are some fucky ones that sneak in.

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.

>>29780343
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.

The last guy who did this to me stopped mid conversation and said

>>29780561
>Too many of you morons think they can sell at retail price after using it.
>Fuck your used gun at store prices, I can go to the store for that
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.

Nobody was asking why the brick and mortar retailer sells something for the price he chooses to. The question in >>29780192 was, why does the customer bother telling the brick and mortar store why he might lose a sale.

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

Have gotten a couple of these before. Just got this one last month.

>Hey john I want that 500 for my buddy. He doesn't get paid until 2 weeks from now but he said he will throw in an extra 25 if you take the ad down because he wants it

Did it a few times when I was younger and an idiot. Guess how many times the guy actually ended up buying it? Absolutely fucking zero.

>>29780670
>3.
>thoughtful or sympathetic regard or respect; thoughtfulness for others:

a consumer smart enough to know the fair market value of an item yet still is attempting to give your kike ass business knows he'll pay slightly more to A. inspect the item in person and B. get it right away

slightly more
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.

>>29780756

Not arguing that asking for a CHL isn't a good idea, but

>It's the easiest way to not get raped and or robbed dude.

What's stopping someone from saying "yeah I have a CHL" and then raping you at the meeting anyway? Are you one of the guys who requires a timestamped pic of the buyer holding up is CHL and DL next to his face?

>>29780848
>I dont have a CHL because I just turned 21

>>29780859
I prefer to keep my ass covered and make sure that the person I'm selling to won't do something retarded with the gun later.

>>29780882
You always carry to the meet, keep the gun you're selling in the car and ask to see the persons CHL first. It's pretty normal around here to not only do that but also to carry a bill of sale for them to fill out as well.

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.

>bought an AR upper on gunbroker for asking price
>he offered to throw in some rail covers
>felt like a douchebag because I apologetically emailed a day later and asked for black after I'd initially asked for FDE

At least my autistic social awkwardness is the kind that tends to benefit others

>>29780848

having a gun is the easiest way not to get raped and robbed. the CHL is just to confirm that the buyer is not a felon to cover your ass.

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

>>29780542
I... I live near Carrolton. I demand link now.

>>29780912
exactly my point.

>>29780859
Sure, but it's worth it.

>>29780917

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. I'd pay more because of the extra parts, sure, but I'm not going to pay more on top of that just because you bought them.

>>29780861
Well, sure, the honest businesses have every right to be a little sensitive about people demanding Amazon pricing. In general, though, I've seen quite a difference between the premium one must pay to support an honest small business, and the inflated prices some asshole is charging because he thinks idiots will pay it.

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. I know american children are taught to think everyone is special and be non-confrontational but for fucks sake, understand that haggling is not arguing and insulting each other, it's about finding a price that is fair to both people. Don't be offended by someone trading something they value to you for something you value for more than it's worth. You all sound like cry baby liberals.

The intent is self preservation in the eyes of the law; the result is people afraid to sell guns on the internet. IE: gun control working for the liberals. Maybe try not being a pussy and comply with the law as much as is required, not extra shit you don't need to do.
>>29781063
The result is stil lthe fucking same.

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. It stifles the free legal trade/sale of firearms. You people are the fudds that are letting liberals slowly take guns.

fuckin kek. the caliber mishap was good, but that false pedantic spelling correction was the icing on top

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.

It's a curve. Things initially go down but then go up over time. Unless it's shit like a highpoint

>>29781467
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. My goal is always not to get a call back, ever. There are no hidden defects, and i know they're good to go, and it gives them the impression the gun is good to go, that I'm knowledgeable and didnt fuck the gun up.

My sales process is good, I sold a first edition TP9 for the same retail price i purchased it at despite the disconnector triggering after every shot (gun was a straight pull) and it had about 1500 down the tube

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.

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.

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.

Nope if this fucker makes me hold it for more than 2-3 days then I'll ask for half the money upfront somewhere. If they have to "scrounge" up cash I give them 12 hours. I've had 4 instances where this happend and I gave their money back (kept $10-20 depending on their excuse) when they bailed on the deal.
Here's one of them

>He agrees, and we meet up tomorrow morning
> drive up and meet this guy
>Looks it over and finally says "I only have $400 with me now, would you take that?"
>Externally I'm smiling, internally I'm pissed.
> told him "no.. thank you", and start packing my stuff up and get in my car.

>I wait but keep my car running.
> He pulls out another crisp $100 with a wallet full of cash.
>"That's all I have"....
>I drive off.

Mother fucker I just saw you pull your "backup wallet" brimming with cash fuck you. I decided to just keep the revolver and that was 2 years ago, I see them going for $800-1300 on gun sites now but I'll probably sell it for $650-700 if I ever feel like getting shut offers again.

Jesus christ /k/ really is the easiest board to troll


this board is only beat by /b/ and /v/ for the most shit board, good job fags

>>29780192

Are you really this dense?

Because when you buy in person you get to actually hold/inspect said firearm and get it much sooner, especially useful when considering used guns. However this doesn't warrant an extreme markup, buyer can decide what it's worth.

If two guns were same price online and in person I'd go with in person 100% of the time.

But if a brick and mortar is going to list guns at hundreds of dollars over what I can get it online for, it's not worth it. It would be nice to try and work out a deal so I can have a gun sooner and inspect it, but it's not worth a massive markup.

Case in point lgs had CZ-75B's listed at $700 new. I bought one online for $500 nib with two mags for $530 with transfer fee. I'd have to have my head up my ass to go with the former, so I told salesman at LGS I could get one a lot cheaper online, offering him to STILL MAKE A SALE BENEFITING US BOTH if he came down in price, he just gave me a "well, uh... No." So I bought online.

Is this really so hard to grasp?

Why must every one of these threads derail into hyperbolic fallacy?

>>29785422

Nothing special about a 10 gauge, 12 gauge magnums are superior in pretty much every single way.

>>29794821
Well, just using what I've learned from the times I've been fucked over, here's a few tips.

1. Always offer less than asking.
2. Come to an agreement on the phone, or not, but always haggle once more on site. Actually, it's probably better if you don't mention the price at all on the phone.
3. Don't just come out with your offer right away. Warm up to the guy with some conversation about the gun, about him, about what kinds of guns he likes to collect, etc. Talk about where you go shooting and suggest you go shooting together sometime. Make him invest his time into the conversation first, make him like you.
4. This is more effective when you are talking on the phone and not just texting or emailing, so call instead of text.
5. When you do make the offer, be friendly about it. Don't act like a pawn shop proprietor. Just tell him that you'll give him X amount and ask him, will he accept? You should be aiming for him to meet you in between offer and ask prices, but if his counter-offer is not right in the median, then make another counter-offer.

>>29795495
>So much this

You can haggle respectfully. There is no need to act like a huge tool just be fucking friendly.

Sellers are giving a price they will accept based on the condition/age/whatever of their firearm. They are annoyed when people haggle with that price.

You're arguing that used firearms should be priced differently due to different condition/age/whatever, and that haggling somehow balances the differences in product.
>thinking that sellers know exactly what their things are worth in free market conditions
And the buyers would be better equipped to judge worth how?

Also, the way the free market works is that if it's overpriced then nobody will buy it. Then because no sale, the seller lowers price.
