Me and a buddy of mine went there today looking around. He thought he might try to trade his naa 380 in . So the guy ask him how much do you want for it my buddy says you tell me how much you'll give me on trade. I told him your going to be insulted and sure enough he was. we look at them in the case they was 429 the guy comes out and said 125. We left what a bunch of crooks. I had the same thing happen to me with a s$w 22a they offer me 75 bucks bunch of crap. what do you all think?????

Any offer of 75% of wholesale value is a fair value for a trade on a new gun at pretty much any shop. Neither of the pieces you mentioned have any real demand in the market. The 22a is known to be a buggy gun and NAA has no traction in the market.

That's pretty standard anywhere. You will always take a big hit selling to a reseller. This is true in anything- cars, musical instruments, guns, etc...

Yeah, honestly can't fault them much on this. The reason the sell used guns so reasonably is because they acquire them cheaply from people willing to sell them for less than they are worth. Take them to the 1500, you might find a willing buyer. Post them here, you might find a willing buyer. First rule of commerce is you can't make someone buy something at a price they don't want to pay. Unless you're the government.

I guess not there just trying to make a living. If it would have been a colt or something like that they probably would have did better on it.

Don't count on it. I took a like new with box Colt 6920 to midwest and got offered 300.00, that was the last time I ever tried to trade a gun at a shop or show, that was 11 years ago.

I've always gotten real good "new" gun prices from them. I've never done any used gun transactions though.

 

[usermax2000]

yeah the new gun prices ar'nt bad just don't try trading
