Inflated price VS Actual price.

[GIJROB]

So I've been debating on getting rid of my AR10 .308, mags and ammo but I see some prices on here.( Not to knock anyone) but they seem unreasonable for what they are selling. Is it inflated or is my rifle worth 6k. <----- joke.

Ultimately the price is whatever it sells for, and inflated items aren't selling.

Your rifle could very well be worth that much. What is the build?

 

[GIJROB]

It's a ERS-10 with a U.S. optics SVS 1-6x, Larue mount, ergo grip and i think a harris bipod but i can't remember. I'd say at best 2500 with the mags and ammo.

Don't get me wrong it's fun shoot. The whole 100 rounds down the pipe but hell I bought in 18' I think and only shot it twice. I just hate having things sitting in the safe I don't use.

Considering I am the optic anymore I may just keep it because it badass. Lol

Yeah I kind of miss my 24k Desert Eagle. My buddy was like don't sell that s*"t.

I think a little of both. Prices are inflated and there appears to be a group of folks that are unwilling to accept reality. Visited a pawn shop that had a ubiquitous Marlon Model 60 and was asking $380 because “they might not make them anymore” which was BS. As already stated the value of something is determined by what the market will bear and if you can get someone to pay $2000 for your Rock Island 1911 then I guess that’s what it’s worth. Now I’ve been watching a certain gun for a while being reposted at least three different times never changing the asking price. I copied all the pictures and sent them off to collectors and LGS owners I know and without exception they all said the gun was worth 1/3 of what was being asked. I passed this info on and never got a thank you, kiss my arse, or I don’t believe you. Pretty sure if you’re re-listing an item over and over and no one is making you an offer then your asking price is out of line and you need to clue in.

Heck if i got rid of everything in my safe i didnt use i wouldnt need a safe, i have things in there i have never used since the day i bought them. But if it ever comes down to it i know i have them available for whatever purpose i need them for.
