[QUOTE="Chief Sapulpa, post: 4341101, member: 18458"] This was posted on the Taurusarmed forum today: “drove to one of Oklahoma City's largest gun stores today for the express purpose of selling a couple of firearms. (Details about the types and why I chose to sell them at a gun store instead of private sales are not pertinent to the thread.) The store's assistant manager and one of his sales reps, both of whom helped me, said that they were swamped with used firearms. They added that their biggest competitor was facing the same problem. People are selling [I]quality[/I] (in other words, not cheap or junk) used guns - AR-15s, AR-10s, hunting and shooting rifles, shotguns, revolvers, semi auto pistols - like they've never seen before. For all of the used guns that were on display, they had far more in storage, waiting for shelf space before being displayed. I replied that in the world and circumstances in which we live, this was surprising. They agreed. They surmised that inflation is hitting folks harder than what is being reported. Valuables of all kinds are being sold to put food on the table, pay the bills, and keep a roof over people's heads. I reckon that if there's a silver lining to this cloud, it's that there may be some nice gun bargains out there. The prices they quoted for my guns were so low, I politely declined and took them back home with me, with their complete understanding. Has anyone else seen anything similar in your area? See less” [/QUOTE]
