If I am going to settle for something used, that has no warranty, I would want to save at least 25% on the price.
But when you are set on a used gun ( with no lock or MIM) then you have to charge new gun prices. More dealers every day are starting to put the new gun price on guns that are 97% or +, and knocking off 10 to 15% for a 93% + gun. Some ask for it and they also pay for it .
