        Yeah it's crazy when people selling stuff ask top dollar.

        Like when I sold my house....I asked for double what I paid.

        And off-roster guns.

        And ammo.

        Is the OP beginning understand economics yet ??

          I bought a Colt Mk IV Series '70 Gold Cup National Match for $303.47. Are you seriously telling me I am prohibited from selling it at the price it now commands?

          I bought a pristine P38, all matching #, original holster w/ spare magazine, from the man who killed the SS officer it was originally issued to. I paid him $900 for it in 1998. Are you saying I got ripped off?

            I understand piling on the OP about selling things at current market prices rather than original sales price; However, before and eve now during the current “sellers market” I have often seen sellers asking more for their used, stock firearm than the price for a new, in stock readily available, identical gun.

              Depends on what it is . Some things appreciate and some depreciate. Never annoyed , I find it more humorous when I see somebody asking too much for anything.

                If it's not produced in large numbers or it's a model that is out of production, then yes, a used one selling for more than a new example makes a bit of sense if you can't find a new one and a used one manages to find it's way in front of you.

                  No one is selling above what they paid for it. It is only purchased at that price. Go after buyers.

                    I find it mildly humorous, quite frankly. Especially when there are four pages of BTT. lol

                            He didnt say anyone was prohibited from doing anything.

                            And despite your cherry picked example to support “free market”, we are not IN A free market, and a used Gen 3 G19 is not a series 70 Gold cup. Nor is it a war trophy with provenance.
