>Sell my gun for half the cost of MSRP

I don't hate it but man said he was going to take care of her but then now he prostitutes her out!
Why do people try to flip used guns?

Because being one ladder rung above a low tier scammer is still easier than working
Gunbroker needs a "community notes" on listings. Imagine the fricking chaos.
This would cause so many fatal boomer aneurysms the world economy might actually recover
It would be the best thing that ever happened to Fudbroker
Capitalism demands all its servants extract the maximum possible profit from every single good or service whenever possible, despite any downsides
It's literally the opposite, you dumb motherfricker.
No it's not, that is exactly what capitalism is and what free market mouth breathers simp for
I look down on anyone who has a "side hustle" tbqh
Same. "Side hustles" are usually just "I charge more for something than I really should" or "I just buy shit and scalp it online/locally to drive up the price". What a "side hustle" really should be is finding something you can make and either selling it online or at local craft/outdoor/whatever shows. You know, something that actually requires effort and isn't just a way to frick people out of something they could otherwise get locally.
The worst is people treating side hustle worth jobs as a full time career then acting salty that they are struggling. They’ll take hustles like selling knickknacks and candy or doing ride share/food delivery and do it full time, then get upset they make piss money and have no real benefits. Also takes business away from people that really are just doing it for a few extra bucks.
>YEAH MAN I RESELL STUPID STREET WEAR SHOES AND "RARE" COLLABS BRUH IM SUCH A BUISNESS MAN OH WAIT IM RARTED AND BOUGHT KNOCK OFFS NOOOOO MY ENTIRE LIFE CRUMBLING IS YOUR FAULT CAUSE...IT JUST IS OKAY"
god i hate digganobs
My side hustle is selling thrift store finds to rich people on ebay.
I found a police scanner at St Vinnies for $5 and sold it for over $200
I made thousands doing that in the early 2000's before pawn stores figured out they could sell their shit on Ebay.
I don't have a side hustle. I make a bunch of money at my job
Any job with the word "hustle" in it is by definition not honest work
Nice guns
he's a boomer
you could've sold it for what you paid. it's on you.
boomers always ask for as much as they can make. i knew a guy who took a 870 to gunshows for 7 yrs till he finally sold it full msrp.
Fricking boomers are homosexuals. Thank god for asbestos and lead poisoning.
Literally every single online transaction now.
There are many, many people that think sitting at home hitting refresh on craigslist is a real job. They look for anything selling for a decent price, buy it, do absolutely nothing to improve or upgrade the product, and relist it for more like a week later. Every used website is completely fricking full of these reseller parasites. I went through this exact same thing when I was trying to buy a motorcycle, and again when I went to sell it. Anything that was a fair deal was immediately bought up.
Know what you should do? List another gun for a low price, wait for these israelites to call you, tell them to meet you in some way out of the way place, then just don't show up.
>oh no I got banned on offerup
Who cares? Some reseller got mad when my wife sold to someone else and got her banned for no reason. The whole site is cancer. Selling used shit over the internet is dead.
People always milk everything good. They take something convenient and easy that normal people enjoy and make it a full time job because they’re too lazy or moronic to get a real job.
I used to know a guy like that. He came from a well-off family and always fancied himself as a
money-making genius because he would day trade and "owned a business" that was selling cheap clothing printed with a logo he designed. I gave him credit for the entrepreneurial attitude, but the last time I saw him, his new endeavor was flipping houses. Ignoring any other moral debate about that, this was in a fairly rural area, so if he actually did start trying his plan, he would just end up pricing people out of town because there's a reason rural housing is cheap. But to this guy, it was all about the dollar signs.
>complains about gentrification because boomers can't pay property tax on houses they bought for pennies
biz would like a word with you
>resellers are... le bad!
>I hate that someone bought the item I'm selling at the price I sold it at
I don't understand normalhomosexuals
resellers are leeches. they produce nothing of value. they're like marketers - fundamentally worthless - except their pettiness makes them somehow more contemptible.

>resellers are leeches. they produce nothing of value.
didn't they buy your gay homosexual homosexual gun really fast so your gay homosexual homosexual self would get your money really fast?
1. I'm not OP
2. why do you think about homosexuality the moment a man challenges your opinion?
let's talk about me and not about you having a moronic animal normalhomosexual opinion based on mindless hate and inability to put 2 and 2 together

what does your grocer produce, moron?
Oh no, he said the downvote words!
Truly spoken like someone who desperately wants to give boomers a blowjob but can’t find any so they settle for accepting a 200$+ markup on used guns in order to support the lifestyles of several withered old men who couldn’t have been bothered to properly plan for retirement and so now they siphon whatever money they can out of the system and refuse to feel guilty about it because they’re the main charector and it’s society’s fault they’re struggling.
Dude go suck start a police trade in shotgun that you probably paid the MSRP price for.
you seem upset
>resellers are leeches. they produce nothing of value.
It's difficult for things to have value if they can't be sold. Resellers are a part of the service economy, same as plumbers or carpenters. The only time they're having a negative effect is when they exploit poorly designed systems like Ebay snipers or people who proxy bid up online auctions or use automated servers to buy up concert tickets and then scalp them
Did you mean retailers and not resellers?
Resellers handle product that's too low volume or specialty for retailers
No they don’t, they buy desirable products from retailers then try to sell them off to people busy with actual jobs who couldn’t initially buy said product because of whatever circumstances. It’s actually laughable you compared them to plumbers and carpenters, since the only service they provide is fricking over the average consumer. Saw it first hand during COVID when I was working the gun counter at a big box sporting goods store. This guy and his son would come in and buy at least five Glocks, FNs, etc., and as much ammo as they could once every week or two. Naturally we reported them to the ATF and eventually found out their friend had an FFL and they were using his booth at gun shows to flip them for double the money. $900 Glocks, 9mm at $1/rd when he bought it from us at less than a fifth of that, 5.56 even more. Frick scammers/resellers/flippers.
Resellers are not the same as scalpers
>Scalper
Buys up new product from retailer/manufacturer to create artifical scarcity
Example: People who buy up concert tickets in the first 10 seconds to scalp them online. Their buying the new concert tickets took away a concert ticket from someone else
>Reseller
Buys up collectible items that are mislabeled/misclassified and then brings them to the broader market
Example: Dealer buying up antique silverware from an estate sale to bring it to the collector's market instead of letting it get melted down for scrap
>Dealer buying up antique silverware from an estate sale to bring it to the collector's market instead of letting it get melted down for scrap
I don't really have an issue with this. I don't want to go to estate sales, and I'm paying for the convenience of just getting the thing.
>and eventually found out their friend had an FFL
So did they get charged with lying on 4473 since they were technically not "the actual transferee/buyer"?
>selling shit for mark-up because...because
merchants used to be cool. travelling the world to bring it to you, for a price of course. Now its just "breh i bought 15 of em when they came out now ima re-sell em now that they are discontinued"
Hank would be disappointed in your useless gouging of your fellow American.
>I hate internet and instant telecommunications
why are you on PrepHole?
Did you actually, unironically post the original of that moronic comic
If he isn’t an FFL, report him to the ATF for engaging in the firearms business without a license.
TBD
I have sold many guns over the years; if I had never sold anything I’d be in the three digit range by now but as it stands I’m at around two dozen. I’ll buy stuff, have fun with it and/or try it out to see if I like it, and if I don’t feel the desire to keep it I’ll sell it for exactly what I have into it plus shipping. If the market has gone up and they’re worth more I’ll join forums related to that type of gun and wait to find someone wanting one and give them the price of what I have in the gun and usually that means they’re just getting a good deal on something they’re actually looking for rather than just being some homosexual vulture who just swoops on every good deal with the sole intention of flipping it once it arrives. Those people are subhuman. Passing deals on to people who genuinely want what you’re selling is a good feeling, especially when they’re young on a limited budget in today’s gun market.
I hate flippers so goddamn much it’s unreal. I can’t tell you how many times I’d see a good deal on something that is cool but that I have no interest in wanting to have, think “that’s a good deal on a cool gun, someone is going to love that” just for some queer scalper to swoop in, snatch it up, and relist the exact same gun in a couple of weeks for a profit and sometimes even using the original seller’s pictures. Frick those guys.
I only buy from second hand from Gunsdotcom. Prices are whatever but you never get raped and their assessments are pretty much spot on. A gun in "excellent" condition is normally near spotless and is normally ~200 bucks less than a new one. It just werks.
In the same vein I don't understand people who buy used guns, unless they're collectible or after a specific model that's hard to come buy. It's the same problem with most things at pawn shop. You're trying to get something used for cheap, but the price is usually close enough to new to wait and save a little extra than to buy something that you don't know is used/abused/stolen. I'd rather buy a $500 gun fresh in the box than a $400 gun with (???) rounds through it and bubba'd internals that may have only ever just been cleaned right before it was sold
This guy gets it. The only used guns I buy/own are guns that are not longer in current production. They don't make yugo sks anymore so I bought used. On the flip side, a p226 is made basically every day. No point in buying used for that.
Everyone of you homosexuals b***hing about 'muh boomers' will eventually be the boomer you b***h about
>t. 40 year old
no i wont. i didn't grow up inhaling lead at every given opportunity
>see an opportunity to make instant profit
>take it
Thats capitalism. Don't call it a grave. .
Report him to the ATF for engaging in the business of firearms without an FFL.
>he doesn't buy guns at local auctions to flip on gunbroker
unlike most gun owners my hobby has paid for itself already
just reported your post to the ATF, hope you have your FFL and SOT. i hate scalping Black folk with such a passion
>openly posting federal crimes on an FBI honeypot
>hobby discourse moves from moderated forums to social media
>any jackass can partake in buying/selling markets in basically any hobby
Never seen so many flippers and scammers then now. Black folk in Cameroon have been making a killing off boomers trying to buy car parts in facebook groups, POGs selling stolen military tubes to night vision nerds, the list goes on.
Because someone always wants another toy and most people are morons. Not a problem for people who choose to be unaffected by not buying from them.
