It’s actually crazy the amount of posts I see in classifieds that have guns listed even HIGHER than retail.

That's a FACT... not a gun, but saw an accessory several weeks ago, long enough that no one should be able to pinpoint to who it was... anyway, when I saw the price, I thought that I had gotten them cheaper and sure enough... checked online and this fellow was asking more than DOUBLE the price of a brand new SAME item. While his was in good shape, it was still used. Havent checked to see if he actually sold it at that price. The price I saw wasnt on Alibaba, Temu or some similar site, it was at Midway and still less than half the price brand new.

It kind of goes both ways.

When I bought a new motorcycle (17+ years ago) I sold my old one. I sold it on-line for about twice its blue-book value.

Sometimes as a seller or a buyer, you get lucky. Maybe you get more than you expect, or you make a low-ball offer and that person really needs to move the item fast. I don't get worked up either way. Markets aren't perfectly efficient machines.

I like good deals when I buy and I like to give a solid deal when I sell.

If the solid deal in my mind isn't selling, I get the picture and probably just keep that safe queen.

People selling used guns at like a 10% markoff from new.... or some old model with a random ass scope, bipod, accessories that nobody wants, compressor also packaged in for MSRP +10%, but it has "custom tuned" and includes a tin of pellets...

Wait... that's actually genius!

I'm sure OP was dealing with some kind of serial offender, but this is pure clickbait 😊

I just toggled your sig and I see you got Kral NP-03 in 177 and 22.

No joke, I got one of the last ones in .25 custom tuned gets 32 fpe and shoots Polymags like a laser.

Missing barrel shroud, which is for wusses anyway, comes with Buckrail. Very quiet gun.

Fill probe needs a new o-ring, only fills to like 2200 psi. I use my Hatsan fill probe to fill it, but that's not included.

Willing to sell $420 firm LMK

If anyone wants. I also have a Hatsan Hydra in 25 and this gun is FULLY broke in.

After stuffing it with rock salt to blast carpenter bees I can finally say the barrel is ACCURATE and true.

No less than 3 MOA using it's preferred pellet the N&N Hunter. In fact I would not recommend using any ammo other than that-- so I will INCLUDE 3 tins!!

This will include the Hatsan fill probe unless Perle wants the Kral NP-03 which also needs that same fill probe, so whoever buys first.

I would say $350 is fair to match the price of a brand new one at PyramydAir but as this is a fully seasoned barrel I am willing to let it go for $450 shipped.

PayPal Friends and Family and you get whatever scope and rings I find in my junk bin FREE

Sorry I don’t think its luck to sell at twice above blue book…
I think that’s calculated greed.
A real problem here for many people selling. They add their perceived value

I had no expectation that's what anyone would want to pay me. But I wasn't about to refuse, it was a great deal for me.

Markets are wonky. I have items I see as near-useless that sell quickly and for a good price. I also have relative rare items that have been sitting up on markets for years.

The only consistent thing I notice is that when trying to sell electronics, you always get lowballers. Everything else is more freewheeling.

I've been using a lot of panzerholz in construction recently and for about ?2 years? nobody was trying to buy my off-cuts. Now I have a waiting list and people are offering fair prices.

Classic market failure. There’s no cost to sellers to list or renew, so they’re not incentivized to list at a market clearing price and sell quickly. The easiest way to do that is to charge for listings and charge enough that you can’t economically list an item into perpetuity. If we consider lowballing to be a price discovery behavior, forcing people to list at realistic prices will also reduce this behavior if not eliminate it.

I’m a member of a few other niche forums and they charge for classifieds. It makes for a more functional marketplace.



Craigslist is completely non-functional these days I’m surprised anyone’s still using it.

Craigslist does work sometimes especially if you don’t want to ship.
My most recent example is a mint 2012 Gibson Les Paul I had. If I put
on Reverb fees and taxes will eat 20% of the sale . So I listed it and let
it run . A guy 120 miles away wanted . We talked, met 1/2 way , cash.
If I could buy it back I’d pay more.

You are sh tting me . Someone wanted his bike and he sold at the price agreed .
You call the seller greedy. Doesn’t matter what blue book says a 17 year old bike is.
Do they even go back that far.
Perle you owe this guy an apology if I read all this right
