Firearm values when it goes down

Up!

Up!

I hope it makes the higher end stuff climb. I’m thinking it might make the lower end tank.

Prices will decrease. Supply will stay the same but demand will be restricted because of the limit, thus prices will have to decrease.

Possibly. But with the 5 sales per year, and 12 purchases per year..do you think that supply will stay the same?

I for one, wouldn’t waste my 1 in 30 on a glock, I’d wait for something I actually lust for.

Exactly. What happens to the price on all the used Glocks people are trying to sell when you dont want to waste your 12 purchases a year by buying one? You just illustrated perfectly why demand for used guns will decrease.

Interesting question.

Most people don't buy more than 12 a year, but the ones that do may be more discriminate.
I'd guess price decrease to encourage the sale to eligible people.

That’s great news then..no more 1k G43s, and collector pieces will go up.

If you have something there is only 500 of, add in California’s rules against bringing things in..that tells me the high end will increase.

[AreWeFree]

Maybe commodity prices would decrease to encourage movement, but I doubt collector prices will increase.

The collectors are already highly scrupulous.

My FFL 03 says phuck that lol.

But is the newest thing coming down on us?

[Jimi Jah]

Wait until we get another communist president.

[Tere_Hanges]

The "high end" probably wont be affected because its already its own little market segment. If anything prices will decrease across the board. Definitely wishful thinking that prices are going to increase in any meaningful way.

[Barbarosa]

I don't think it will have much impact on cost. On one hand it might limit demand which would decrease costs. On the other hand it might increase demand from guys who wouldn't normally purchase 12 in a year but might if they are restricted in their ability to do so.

People who can purchase more than 1 firearm every 30 days seem to me to be very fortunate. In my younger days, I had to save up for each firearm I wanted to get and choose wisely. The savers may be impacted the most if tighter restrictions on how many firearms one can purchase over a time period is legislated and gun prices go up or down as a result, but they will have to still save anyway. I sympathize for the savers, (since I was one myself at onetime) because it might mean longer waits for saving and longer waits for purchasing, a double whammy.

Down, this is an artificial demand ceiling. Good intro to microeconomics quiz question though.
