[QUOTE="joegrizzy, post: 3782029, member: 45524"] as a *buyer*, i use truegunvalue to evaluate a potential purchase because it shows *actual sold values* as opposed to gunjoker which can be absurd asking prices, guys bidding themselves up to ridiculous prices (this happens.....a lot), all sorts of shenanigans on that site imo. while truegunvalue DOES obviously pull data from gunbroker, it's at least SOLD data, so it doesn't factor in guns that may be overpriced and won't move unless someone is desperate in a "i want this now" mode. but, for something really unique, it's like they say in antiques roadshow. ultimately what dictates price the most is finding a buyer who IS looking to buy your EXACT piece, and is willing to pay premium for the chance to buy it now. this would increase even moreso in an auction environment like gunjoker. i don't ever feel like auctions benefit the buyers, i know you can find deals thru auctions and whatnot, but i'm a fastest finger guy because i lurk. i appreciate okshooters ability to just say "i'm selling for x" and someone saying "i'm buying". but value is tricky on unique items because it's really determined by the buyer; not selling data on markets and whatnot.
