[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 3155452, member: 23"] I have a friend who sets up at the gun shows from time to time. He invited me to bring some of my stuff and see what it was like on the other side of the table. Most of what I had was holsters, accessories, a few knives and stuff like that. I had priced everything at what I thought was slightly higher than fair price for a used item. From years of walking around gun shows, I know that EVERYONE is there to spend as little money as possible and that some lowballing was the norm. Very few people walked up and paid the sticker price. I expected that. All the rest tried to get me to knock 50% or more off. There was some haggling, some walked and some walked away happy. One guy in particular started out with a huffy attitude telling me he could get it cheaper online. I told him that if he could, that’s what he needed to do. He came back three more times repeating the same thing and I wouldn’t budge. He finally left. If I sell something, it’s something I no longer need, use, want or to get something else I want. I’m not in it for business and I try to make a fair deal. Who knows, I may want to buy something from that same person some day. [/QUOTE]
