Brand X vs. Brand Y

[Bruce]

Do other people have this issue when selling guns? You offer a Brand X firearm for sale and prospective customer tells you they can get a Brand Y firearm for a couple of hundred dollars cheaper, so you should sell them your Brand X even cheaper than the Brand Y.

I don't usually respond to those PMs.

[-hanko]

Same here as a seller, I just do not respond to pm's or email's. So far, it's been a Calguns-only experience.

As a buyer, I may offer a lower than asking price. At that point the seller can either end the discussion or negotiate.

Try this the next time somebody hits you with that...

"Then go buy Brand Y you idiot." The last two words are optional.

You're welcome.

X chromosome vs Y chromosome. Easy decision; girl gun or a man's gun, 9mm vs .45?

[mif_slim]

You got a STI 9mm?! Dood, why you selling it so high!!??? a Hi-Point is only 200 bucks. I'll take it for 125.99. You pay DROS. Thanks.

Don’t respond or simply tell them you better get on that other deal before Its gone. I wouldn’t respond myself waste of time....

This would annoy me!

As a prospective buyer, it's equally frustrating that sellers put current, on-roster pieces up for sale at or near prices available (and easily researched online) for a new in the box model and then bump the thread every day for weeks. Understandable if extras are included, but I don't want to buy a Gen 3 Glock, however lightly used, for $500 only to save the sales tax vs a brand new gun.

[tradecraft]

Nope.

[Divernhunter]

I just tell them --Then go buy that. Then end the conversation or emails.

I also look at adds that are selling used guns I can buy new for the same or even lower prices and think WTF??? The same for reloading stuff or gun accessories.

It takes all kinds to make the world go around.

I say "No, but thanks for looking". I think everyone has this issue. We are private sellers, so haggling attempts (even when they completely lowball you) are to be expected.

[Two Nuggets]

I tend to price my firearms, parts and accessories at a reasonable price to avoid those PM’s. Yet I still get those replies. I just ignore them.

I thought this would be a tranny thread.

XX women are better than XY women.

Compare MSRP on both brands, if both guns are "like-new, only 50 rounds down the barrel'.
