If it sells in a day or two, it's probably close to a realistic price.

If it's been listed for a week or more & it's still here, it's overpriced for this forum. If it's also listed at RMGO at the same price & doesn't move, then it's definitely overpriced for the community.

That's my take on it.
Yes and no. I know EVERYBODY on here has seen my 22C that I'm selling. haha Its been up for just over a month, has almost as many views as the for sale forum rules(scary), and I have only had two people hit me up with cash offers.

Both I felt were a fair attempt to make an offer, but were FAR less than my asking price. One offer was just 60 dollars more than the cheapest Glock 22C on gunbroker(which is bone stock and didn't even look like it had been cleaned), and the other wasn't much more than that. I countered these offers at a lower than "ideal for me price", and the people politely declined. Does it bother me that I was lowballed, or do I think my asking price is way to high? NOPE! I know what my junk is worth on both the high end and the low end, and I'm asking alot less than the high, and not much more than the low!

When I was looking for trades in the first week I had the ad up before I edited it, I had ALOT more offers come in for trades(5 or 6? in a week!). Almost all of them were for some decent items, some of which carried a value close what it would cost to put together this gun brand new! But my situation changed and I needed cash...

I think that actual green cash money is pretty tight for most people right now, and trades, or trades plus a little cash are being used MUCH more than paying for something expensive outright. Its just the nature of how our economy is right now. Thats not a political statement, it just the truth! And if you haven't tightened your belt, congrats on your foresight and a little luck! :-)

But in the contrary..., you are completely right! There are ALOT of guns over the past 6 months I have seen for sale that either go away quicker than i can respond(and somebody always has dibs 2 min before me on the 30 dollar AR receivers or the 200 dollar XD lol)*sarcasm*, or just sit and sit with not even any interest, price break, or any motivation from the seller to push their item...

I will leave my pistol up, and not post a lower asking price because of the OBO. Its what I think the gun is worth based on some research. Eventually it will sell, and whether it be for my asking price, or something lower, only time will tell!

IM ONLY IN TOWN ANOTHER TWO WEEKS! WHOEVER WANTS A B/A GLOCK, LEMME KNOW!
