Your DROS fees are not my problem!

[Rgarbarino]

Why do guys feel it's OK to throw you a low-ball offer of $125 less than asking price then complain that they have to pay for DROS fees? WFT, that's part of buying a gun and it's not coming out of my sale price!

I agree with you i don't understand why all of sudden the low ballers started to come out of the woodwork

$825 is a good price for your gun. Don’t let the desperate bastards drag you down.

[Rgarbarino]

Thanks. I'd keep it rather let it go cheap. I don't NEED to sell it.

never met a single buyer that did that to me. but ya! that would be annoying.

I add "All lowball offers will be ignored" to my ads then I ignore all lowball offers.

I'm with Barang above, never had it happen to me either.

I have only had 5 or 6 people ask me to pay for there dro.

^^^^^^^^
Don't let them get too you. Your price for that 1911 is more than fair.
Just ignore the offers. If the person persists. Use the ignore option.
The newbies just want to buy and flip for.profit.

Obviously the lowballers increase along with the outrageous prices of guns these days. I mean, when someone lists a MSRP $550-600 Sig P365 for $1800....or $950 P320 X5 Legions for $2800....what do you think happens in buyers’ minds?

Of COURSE prices are roster-driven and have nothing to do with MSRP..... not saying it’s correct or good, but mentally, it’s tough to swallow.

Don't forget the $600 Mossberg 930 SPX being advertised (currently) for $1,500

[Wordupmybrotha]

Yeah, no bueno

[DrewN]

I mean, when I'm the buyer in a PPT I'll offer to pay for your gas, buy you lunch, whatever. You're the one doing ME the favor.

It is called "negotiation." Don't get emotionally invested. Work with those you can work with and ignore the flakes.

You can say:

- no
- 50/50
- yes
- ???

So, what is the problem?

Seller not paying the DROS fee is "customary" not contractually required.

We could just as easily be asking "why do gun sellers feel it is OK to throw out a ridiculously high asking price, waste all our time, and then complain when they are not getting any response to their ads."

When negotiating, things seem to work best when is is a win/win for both sides. If the buyer or seller is incredibly one sided, it often complicates any transaction.

Yeah, annoying. Also, remind them they don't have to pay taxes on a ppt.
