Greetings, all.
As a one-time (?) seller and occasional buyer in the classified section, I have noticed that since about May little is selling easily, even after several reductions. Other items, apparently due to not being sold, disappear. I look at the classified ads continuously and find that there is a new "normal" for the price of used rifles and scopes. What was selling, say, for $1,300 or $600.00 in the spring, is now sitting still for a couple of hundred less, give or take. These are intentionally fabricated numbers, and I am not trying to cause anyone grief, and I am not pointing to anyone, so please do not take this personally. It is an observation. It seems to be a buyer's market, in plain English.
Is this perceived change in the market due to hard times, sales offered by retailers, a funny trend, or something else?
If I am missing a good piece of this issue, forgive me. I have been a member for a relatively short period, so I cannot speak to the matter from any lengthy experience.
Thanks for listening. S7
