I sold 2 guns this fall on the AG classifieds. I don't believe it has much to do with "hard times". Virtually full employment, unions making huge income strides, inflation going down, interest rates starting to recede, gas prices down, and the stock market is going nuts. Far better environment than when it was a sellers market. 1. I believe its the time of the year; big sales, maybe we air gun addicts have to spend more on loved ones (xmas) than our addiction. There has been some heavy retail discounting making it tough to get your selling price. 2. facebook market place is a cesspool. I I sold at least $4k in stuff this summer to help fuel my AG addiction, I haven't been able to sell any items there lately, its infested with cock roach scammers. And if you read the AG forum regarding (known) scammers you might just be reluctant to purchase from AGN sellers. A person really has to do their homework before they buy on the classifieds if they aren't buying from a known regular here. That really negatively impacts pricing.I’ve noticed what your talking about as well.. and to me after following airguns for 10+ years it doesn’t seem to be any of typical/ obvious reasons for something to not sell.
In my opinion it’s gotta be a reflection on our current economic state in the US..
as Im seeing the same thing on Facebook marketplace which I sell on frequently.. people just aren’t as willing to spend money as they were a year or two ago.
Times are definitely harder for most, although if you listen to the talking heads in charge they couldn’t be better
