I thought this looked familiar.

Everyone selling guns and not trading trend…

It seems like trading guns right now are at a screeching halt. Wasn’t long ago when you looked at ads on BayouShooter and you could see blue WTT more than you would see green WTS on all types of ads. What gives? I enjoy trading as do most people I come in contact with over the past few years I...

I just played along... He makes this post everytime he gets his feelings hurt about a gun he wants to sell or trade.

So……? What are you saying?

I personally have never and (most likely) will never trade firearms or knives. I don't think I've ever sold any of my own guns on here either. Definitely not in recent history. I also haven't bought a used firearm on here recently. Why? I like new things.

If I were to buy a used firearm, I would want >33% off retail price, at the absolute minimum. Maybe 40-50%. Otherwise, I would just prefer to buy new. Most people aren't willing to take that big of a loss.

I don't know, I've seen a few items I'd be interested in recently...right after committing to a house purchase. Now all my excess cash is no longer available. Where were you guys selling the things I like back in November before my wife found "the one?"

I like new as well. Seeing how things are treated keeps me away from most used items, but I'll make an occasional exception.

I don't get rid of my guns either. I don't own piles of guns, I own a small stack of refined guns and I am content. Of course the Gun Monkey is always on my back but that greedy little bastard's diet has been modified to ammunition, ammunition components, gun parts and lube.

I do peruse the LGC on this forum sometimes though. Nothing wrong with daydreaming. LOL

Occasionally listings catch my eye. Once in a while that encounter influences me to grab something related to something I already have, which is always cheaper. Feeding a smaller morsel to the Gun Monkey!

I seem to remember you listing a S&W Shield 9mm here on BS once. You ever own a Shield 9mm in the last 8 or 10 years?

Nick Lasseigne of Nick's Gun Shop and Range in Garyville once told me many years ago "handguns are a decent investment long term, rarely do you lose money on them long term". He's been in the business for prob 40 years, and I agree with him 100% looking back. Look at what has happened to new revolver prices in the last 3 or 4 years? All name brand revolvers cost way more today than just 5 years ago. New Colt Pythons today start at $1350 and up. A Python purchased new back in the 70s or 80s will yield you 5 to 10 times what you spent back then today, sold "used". Smith, Colt, or Ruger, nobody losing money on those if you held it 10 or 20 years.

Snipershide forunse has a very busy for sale section. I found my Athlon scope a few months ago for cheap. You do have to pay to make a for sale thread there but you can buy all you want. Just a FYI.

I found a good deal on bulk 855 ammo so I bought some this morning. I might also pick up some 9mm ball.

SOLD: - MP Shield 9mm

A close family member of mine in Baton Rouge is looking to sell his M&P Shield (9mm variant). He bought it brand new from Jim's Firearms and has only taken it to the range (FRC - Baton Rouge) a few times. His estimate is that he's only shot it five to seven times. I've been to the range with him...

That would be this post and it wasn't my gun.

But I agree bs market is stale.. I have moved a lot of item in ar15.com for asking price plus shipping.. I usually just try local and knock off $20-$50 plus shipping for a while before I go on there lol… maybe Louisiana is being hit pretty

Well, I looked through pages of ads and couldn’t find a single thing for sale that caught my interest.
