How much do they charge? Giving up 10% or so (seems that's a pretty common percentage??) to avoid a time-consuming PITA, doesn't really seem too bad.Quote:

Yep, I've met several good people from this site through trades I've done here (not so much on Armslist - but still a few). It seems many people have decided that it makes more sense to buy new now since they will have to do a BGC either way and the FFL fees take away a significant part of any savings that used to be there for private party sales.Quote:

If I were to ever buy guns, I would look to friends and known acquaintences. It sucks because there are a lot of "things"on my wish list that I would definitely have looked to private sales for.
I think all of you trying to sell your guns should turn them into plows...I don't own any, just a bow now. I made a new shovel out of an ak, and made a great boat anchor out of my garands...
No offense but that is bullsh*t, that other customer that might be buying something doesn't know if the store employee is working on a private transfer or store sale. All he knows is that a person is being helped that was there before him. If anything a private transfer is an opportunity to sell add-ons, holsters, ammo, sights/scope, the add on list can go on. Now that minimal profit has added up to something worth the time. If the customer never steps foot in the store they never buy anything. With all the internet sales these days storefronts need as much foot traffic as possible, alienating customers for any reason doesn't help their bottom line.Quote:
