Is the fx impact the worst investment and resale values?

In my opinion, and based on what I've observed in the classified section here over the last couple years, every air rifle is a bad investment if you're looking to recoup money.

The fx impact m4 is the reason why prices on older impacts are dropping. Mk2 going for around $1000 and m3 going for $1300. Fx makes tiny chances and call it the next impact. And then ppl want the latest and greatest and upgrades. Making older impact obsolete.

Yea but none as bad as the fx impact. And I blame it on fx making newer versions every 1-2 years making older impact obsolete. With other guns, manufacturers making 1 or 2 versions of the same gun and that's it. So it would still hold value when resale.

Well new m3s are still 1800+ so to upgrade or not depends
I was going to buy an m3 but decided I like the single reg design
Air rifles cell phones tablets cars atvs
New models every year they depreciate like anything else.
It's not just Fx as I been hunting myself for a couple months
Newer guns used in good shape still pretty pricey
Again it's a hobby not an investment

Few people want a used, outdated rifle, at 75% the price of a brand new one with warranty.
Especially a modified Impact, where DIY airgunsmiths, are working on them, often for the worse.
In the stock market world, they call it a "Market Correction".

Where are the Huben K1's for $1,000? Where are the Marauders for $250? Where are the Notos for $125?
Full STOP with defending the MK1-2's being valued at 50% of their original sale price...sheesh. Talk about isolated devaluation...

cheap guys keep that stuff. Haters like you dont buy the high end. And guys like you will tell people to buy those cheapies. I bought my k1 for 1000. So, a bit more research or effort maybe., also i have seen those prices for the others also, just do not like them.

I'm not a hater, but thanks for the kind words. I am not telling anyone to buy cheapies. $1000 is not a common K1 resale price. Get real, a bit more research? Show me the sales, its a simple search term, maybe put forth the effort to prove your point.

You are never happy man. Always bashing highend guns. The sales are there when you find them. Some people delete them. I have bought plenty of cheapies at deals and highend as well. It is just not a regular thing. FX is to airgums like mathews is to compound bows, many more sold than others. Simple supply and demand. It is good that you are happy with a marauder, i hate that platform and gave away the one i had. I will not even buy an Umarex, due to a failure of any I have had my hands on. Yes more research, i know you know alot,bout what I am not entirely sure, i know you overanalyze alot.

Wait a sec, just checked your post history, and you're trying to trade your $1,000 huben K1 for an impact, ghost or delta wolf.
Yep, checks out. You don't need to trade brother, you can just buy the $1,100 impact and then sell your Huben!
I see you also are into Ad hominems and not able to maintain discussion on a topic opposed to taking things to a personal level. Tsk tsk..
Umarex hater are we? So its okay to selectively hate, but only if you agree with it...got it.

I can have an opinion just like anyone else. Your backhanded bs is great though. I hope you feel good proving your intelligence. Yes i do like an impact over my current huben. Anyone can trade what they want as well, i dont believe i asked you if it was ok. I would rather trade over sell and buy again, due to it is my hobby money and it is usually in short due to constant work on my farm, again that is me. I said you were a highend gun hater, not brand specific. Stay on that hirse buddy, i am sure it is great up there.Wait a sec, just checked your post history, and you're trying to trade your $1,000 huben K1 for an impact, ghost or delta wolf.

I don't hate high end air guns, I dislike overpriced airguns that cost 500-1000$ to manufacturer which are sold for $2,000-2,500.
I am not on any hirse. I am very grounded, I walk around bare foot
Now as to being a hater, well, you may be my biggest one. I however, will continue my day without any hate towards members here.

I would say that FX in their scheme to make a profit making products that people want to buy doesn’t warrant blame. I feel that is way off base. I personally wouldn’t blame consumers as we are free to buy whatever we want but it certainly would make more sense than blaming the company.

So Research and developement are useless. Items are sold to make money. People are employed by these companies, so just because it can be made for a said amount, that is not the true cost. How can you act as you do and not understand this? Grounded is great, I am as well but dont have to tell anyone about it. I dont hate anyone except for the few that have screwed me on deals, but I do dislike others talking as if they are better or smarter than another. Say what you want but that is how you come off to me and plenty of others i know.I don't hate high end air guns, I dislike overpriced airguns that cost 500-1000$ to manufacturer which are sold for $2,000-2,500.

Unfortunately it is consumers that do it. If you buy a 3yr old impact mk3 for 1600with no warranty,it hurts others lookimg for a used ome as well. Just like here in Ky, farmland was $2k an acre, but now californians and cartel members pay crazy high prices for land and now it is almost unobtainable for regular farmers to buy land now.

I guess there was no R&D done on the Notos, or guns like SnowPeak Max1? Oh btw where are the $700-$800 GK1's, being that they released 3 versions already. I'd really like one but no matter how much effort and research I do, I cannot find a seller.
You don't have to tell anyone about being grounded? But you just did tell... and I only told because you said I was on a high horse...its called clarifying, much like you did? Pot kettle black?

I mean they pretty much all do it so it might be the necessary retail price to make continuing in business worthwhileI don't hate high end air guns, I dislike overpriced airguns that cost 500-1000$ to manufacturer which are sold for $2,000-2,500.

. I do however get it to a degree. Daystate recently hiked prices where the other big companies did not. I wouldn’t buy a new daystate now. Not a chance.Upvote 0
Reality is hard eh? You obviously missed the point. Have you held the highend guns that you blast the price? They are night and day vs a benjamin or umarex. It is not hard to tell the difference im machining and materials used. You are obviously right aboit everything you say so continue on.
