Off roster PPT values

[static2126]

Yup..I'm still in the market for a P07 2014 for 900 or so but no sellers..makes me sad...

20% markup? LOL.

I'd be happy if I got 5% over what I paid for my off roster guns, even the unfired ones that I have sitting around still (Shield NTS, VP9, G19 & FDE G17 Gen 4, LC9S Pro, etc). Just enough to cover my time having to drive around to different LGS's for a PPT since I'm busy these days.

I was figuring 20% before tax and SSE fee.
I figured 690 for a gen4 is better than the 800+ I see people asking for.

Good idea...

That will be $5.00 please.

Actually he's in almost 6 grand by post count. you can send it to me, I'll make sure it's properly accounted for.

Wow you are willing to pay $900 and still no offers? At that price I might be tempted to sell mine but I will feel guilty for taking advantage of another calgunner.

Yup...amazing right. I just turned downa 1k Sig P320 sale though (me as seller) so who am I to talk I guess

Value is vague and arbitrary (JB Say). The problem with "off roster values" is were the only state that has a roster. So the marketplace here is about the best, and only, place. But again, value is vague and arbitrary. What someone asks and what someone gets...well, that's two different things. What sellers think and what buyers think are just that. Opinions. And they mean nothing to anyone anywhere at all except for the two parties involved. Any other listing, different buyer and seller, entirely different opinions.

I just wish calguns would charge something for posting. $5 a post would make a lot of the sillyness go away.

Should charge more------ $20 minimum. Pete

Maryland and Massachusetts have gun rosters.

How do I know if I'm getting a good deal?

the pain that comes with or shortly after paying the cost of admission will most likely subside or leave altogether as the pleasure of ownership overrides doubt. if this doesn't happen, you might have paid too much.

This is the way I see it.
OK it is used or new and on the roster
You find it in a free state at X dollars.
Free State add shipping FFL to FFL can go Priority Mail usually + $20.00 to $25.00.
Local receiving gun store will add $50 to $75 to the bill and also add sales tax which could be almost 10%
Add it all up.
Off Roster already in state. Price it out of State. Has to go PPT because it is off Roster.
PPT in State. No Shipping Charge, No FFL Mark Up, No Sales Tax. Add it all up equals what you actually pay for the firearm. I would probably give $175 over value to buy new PPT because no sales tax and remember you may not get Manufacture Warranty. Used the highest I would consider plus $75 dollars from Free State find.
Something you really want and is popular good luck. Right now I feel prices are over inflated because of the end to SSE. Give it time. How many firearms do people really want to care for and shoot. Again the price you pay for it is what it costs from your wallet. Buying PPT you do not pay sales tax which could be a chunk if you bought it from LGS new or used.

That comes out to less than what people had likely paid (depending on the county). You would be wise to consider this when viewing an offered item that cannot be (or is not easily) repaced. Some sellers may very well be unreasonable, but I assure you they are dwarfed in numbers when compared to the stratospheric number of unreasonable buyers in the secondary marketplace.

Depends on gun. Some off roster guns aren't in high demand. Say like an older Taurus 357 revolver. Some are the latest fad or mall ninja approved like a HK VP9 so the market is whatever someone feels they want to be bent over to get one. I buy off roster guns all the time for good prices but they tend to be stuff nobody really cares about.

[SIGscout]

And there is always the hope to meke a few extra bucks off some people like this guy http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...3#post15771573 but like has been said, if it is wanted badly enough... Oh or if you're a fool.

Maryland and Massachusetts have gun rosters.

If you look at their rosters, it appears they are still able to add guns unlike CA because of micro stamping. They both have a lot of new guns on their roster that we don't. I think that makes a huge difference.

So you're the one buying the weird before I get a chance to.
