[QUOTE="MosinMann, post: 3042509, member: 42629"] For things that are scarcer/higher demand, pricing high and working down makes sense for folks prioritizing finding the market ceiling. For those selling common/low demand products over retail value, Armslist sellers generally fall in the categories below: The Investor This seller expounds upon the investment quality of guns. Especially to his wife. He’s able to provide solid past examples of selling guns at a profit. The market has changed, but he hasn’t. With money and a little ego tied in, pricing is largely psychological. If he didn’t become a gun nut, he would have invested his children’s college fund in beanie babies. A post-Obama satellite image of their backyard reveals a hill of pmags and 22lr. The Hairy-legged Cat Lady This seller takes in all “neglected” guns. She’d rather not get rid of any, and she wouldn’t if she hadn’t accidentally crushed a few to death in her closet or was court-ordered. But when it’s time to list, sentimentalism kicks in. This gun is like family and family doesn’t go cheap. She’ll consider trading your Colt 1911 for her Heritage Rough Rider. Will you throw in cash? The Lord of War This seller could have been an ffl, but prefers to cut through the red tape. Having a hard time with paperwork? They can help. +$300 to MSRP, rust extra. Fishers of Men This is a catchall for those I left out. There might be good reasons to fish, but you don’t need a reason to fish. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
