    What’s Wrong

    The man who trades freedom for security does not deserve nor will he ever receive either.

      Stop being a snob and take the 900$ I PMed u with...

      Probably because ammo laws coming in hot next month, alot of people stocking up. I’ve seen a a bunch of guns sit @ great prices in the market . It is a buyers market.

        I mean, if I had 2900 in cash that I could spend at once, I would consider it.
        But I don't. Your average joe doesn't either.

        Gonna take some time to find someone that has that type of play money lying around to message you.

        Plus everyone's stocking up on ammo as a priority.

          First off, if you paid $3600 you OVERPAID a lot! I checked your ad and your CQB is the on roster model which has an MSRP of $2950. Most FFLs I've seen sell this model for $2600-$2700, which means someone can buy brand new for the same price you're asking, if not cheaper.

          Secondly, more expensive guns are harder to sell. If it's priced better you would get a lot more interest and it would sell faster. For example a LNIB 2003 Springfield Professional sold for $2200 on here today, and was only for sale for a couple of days. If you want it sold, you're going to need to lower your price. I recall several Ca. WC CQBs selling for $1900-2100 within the past year or so on here.

            Also are you factoring in the tax and dros fees you paid on the total price? I see people do that a lot but those are your fees that you paid at the time of the initial sale.

              if it is CA rostered, you won't be able to sell it at MSRP, and most wilson premium dealers have discount and sell it at less price.

                  A new CA version CQB sells for $2,950 MSRP and would be ~$3,200 with tax.

                  For people spending $3k on a pistol, $300 is negligible and not worth the hassel/uncertainty of buying used.

                    You have to be willing to take a hit on the amount you paid. Like the gentlemen a couple above said you can’t include any taxes or other fees that you paid for the gun.

                      Yeah, well, it's actually hard to get top dollar for a top dollar gun. I recently sold a big buck 1911 and got nowhere close to what I paid for it.

                      Your option is to stand firm for a long time or bend a lot to get the sale. What you do depends on what you need.

                        What's wrong is people don't know what the gun is. The same thing happens buckmarks. Ya, you can get a buckmark for 200, but mine was not the base model. Everyone assumes you got the base model and not the $5000 Wilson Combat CQB. I'm sure everyone just googled wilson combat cqb and saw the base model for $2865. Well, I don't have that kind of money anyway, so I didn't look at the add and I don't know what model you have.

                        Hey, I got a ford for sale. I paid $500,000 for it, why wont people give me 400k? "Oh, I can get a ford for like $3k used!", and they like, "Ya, but this is a ford GT."

                          Oh wait, I just found your add... ya, problem is there's at least two people trying to sell that same gun for cheaper. One for $2.7k, and another for $2.3k that I both found before yours. Ya that definitely isn't the fancy CQB model.... sorry OP.

                          Edit: Is that the CQB Elite model?

                            Depreciation. Once you drive it off the lot, value goes immediately down...

                              Neither of those are brand new guns.
