I'm sure it will come back some, but never to the levels before the new laws (unless they get overturned somewhere along the way). After $10 for a BGC and then the fees of the FFL, a used firearm will need to be a very good deal or a lot of people will just purchase new.

I guess we gotta see if this new BGC is enforced. If this is like the old "adultery laws" of the past? Probably won't be enforced unless a "gun" crime is committed!

Yeah...an "oh, ...btw" type enforcement.

Maybe so, but I know I don't want to be the one to find out if they will be enforced or not. What will happen when someone legally uses a firearm in self-defense and it's found out that the firearm was originally purchased after the new laws went into effect by someone else and the person using it never had it "legally" transferred. Sounds like a wet dream for the anti-gun crowd.

Let's see ... it's time for summer vacations, people are burned out from buying and selling prior to the July 1 rules changes .. yeah, I'm so surprised that people are taking a bit of a break from the Trading Post.

People will buy used firearms next month/year for the same reason they bought them last month/year -- I don't see $20-40 in additional fees changing that much except possibly forcing sellers to drop their prices a tad to accommodate the new charges. Don't get me wrong, I still think the new laws/fees are BS but it's usually 5-10% of the transaction.

I need to find time to shoot the stuff I just bought the past few months, I'll worry about ads on the TP later.

I check out the TP every visit here. It will get going again as we figure out how to work the new system. Issue for me is that I live in NorCO and used to be able to meet 1/2 way south in Loveland or Longmont to trade/buy/sell and now I can't. Slows me down somewhat so for now I will just enjoy what I have and let everything sort itself out.

...but that would be insulting stupid Americans!

It's okay, they don't even know they're being insulted.
