I've held onto a couple of pistol caliber carbines that don't work because I can't sell them to someone else as if they do. I think it's fair to try to sell them with the disclosure of the issues and discounting the asking price accordingly.
But how much? Let's say the gun that works is worth $500. The one you have malfunctions (e.g. failure to feed and go fully into battery) maybe 3-5 times for every 50 rounds you try to fire, which is a 6%-10% failure rate.
What would be a reasonable asking price?
I am not addressing the cowardly and deceitful practice of selling guns that you know do not work without disclosing that information. That has happened to me with at least two different guns over the years and it is not acceptable.
