[QUOTE="HansTheHobbit, post: 2760887, member: 38141"] I've been trying to sell several guns lately, and it's been very difficult. Six months ago, they would have sold like hotcakes at the prices I'm wanting, and now people are making me downright insulting offers. There's definitely a huge dropoff in demand, even below normal pre 2013 demand and prices. I read just the other day that S&W's AR sales were down over 60% this quarter. And I've been hearing similar stories across the board. I would also observe that the economy is down in general. Holiday spending has been at all time lows, especially when inflation is considered. This combined with rising unemployment, declining incomes, and rising home prices is really strapping people lately. Medical care is another one I hear a lot from people, as to why they cannot afford to buy more guns and ammo. Since Obamacare took over, everyone's medical expenses have gone up. If not for the recent drastic drop in gas prices, I think things could be pretty bad right now. Honestly, I would probably blame the economy more than anything. If people had the money I think they would still be buying guns. [/QUOTE]
