There is a difference between what sellers are asking and getting, and the prices on the ones that sell (with a few exceptions, probably from a bidder with "new gun fever") are still pretty far away from the new gun asking prices.
Guns are like used motorcycles. Everybody thinks theirs is special. After the reality sets in, you can negotiate with them. They listen a LOT better! LOL!! The first question I ask when I call about a motyorcycle is how long have they had it listed? If they say abouit a week, I don't even try to negotiate. I just leave my number, wish them luck, and tell them to call me if they can't find a buyer at the price they ask.
