I disagree if you already have plenty of guns.
If you already own 3 AR's and you need money (as many people do right now) then now is a good time to sell one and get some money for it to help you cover other things you need, like car repairs or rent. I definitely agree though that now is still a great time to be buying accessories. It seems like the salad days never really ended for a lot of things. You can still get red dots, lights, slings, etc for equal or very close to salad days prices. |

View Quote Sure if economy is still working and stuff like rent and car repairs actually matter still you can sell one of your ARs for a good profit to pay bills off. But there will come a time eventually where that all does not matter at all and only survival and what supplies and guns you have is what is essential. |

Certainly when I need advice I turn to a two-month veteran of the site, who hasn't contributed anything of value yet nor established any credibility.
And to your point, you are way behind the curve and your advice is so shallow and simplistic as to be laughable. |

Quoted: Your all free to do as you wish but were getting into really dark times and unless you really hate the gun or are trading to get a better gun I would not sell anything from this point on. Now is the time to buy any extra magazines, ammo, red dots, and other accessories before it is all gone again and or goes up in price. View Quote Yeah whatever, everyone should be buying my rifles I’m selling at market prices. I got an exclusive line on 50 or 100 Hungarian made SVDs and there is money to be made. Working on a YouTube video to hype them up a bit then I’m gonna sell them in limited batches on Gunbroker. People have been talking a lot about them potentially coming in for years now and I just happened to be able to work a deal to get them all. Sky is pretty much the limit on how much they might go for given the market and I’m gonna sell out. You might not agree but I’m the one who is going to have a monogrammed gold plated beard comb and the governor of Rhode Island is going to make me a Lt Gen in the National Guard. |

What is shallow and simplistic about saying its a bad idea to sell your guns right now unless you need to or want something better? Credibility is subjective and it should be based on merit not how long someone was here and how many posts they have but the internet is a strange alien. |

Not really interested in hoarding a bunch of shit. People say "it's not hoarding it's preparedness!
Well, guess what? That's what every Hoarder says, the disease is different for everyone whether it's old newspapers or guns, it's a psychological need to feel safe, or have something of value. |

View Quote Its good to have duplicate guns for in case one fails or something breaks and the part is unattainable you have a spare working gun to use in its place. |

What have you posted of value? Lemme guess, some BOTD pictures?

Quoted: That is a valid reason if you did not want it, you now have space for guns you want or already have, and can put that money towards more ammo and magazines or etc. View Quote I sold them to use towards a nice AR build. It was a handgun, a bolt rifle, and a random clone lower laying around that I had no use for. May use some of the money from them for an ACOG for said AR build. |

Sellers market for sure...look at the prices of Mosins
Average condition Izzy at the local fun store had an asking price of $399 and recently disappeared. Welcome to 2021 - where your <$100 rifle has quadrupled in value |

2 guns = 1 gun, don’t sell, fear the man with 1 gun
Then 2 for each of your family members. More than that and you’ll likely be staring at decorations that you can never legally transfer. |

What if I purposefully bought more guns than I needed to sell them for 3x what I paid in times like these ? What if I want to sell a gun, invest the money on a booming stock, sell, then use that money to buy TWO guns ? Why should I take your advice on anything at all, unless you seem like you know what you're talking about ? How many panics like this have you lived through ? Several for me now, I bought and sold in all of them. |

Quoted: Sell them to a young whipper-snapper like me for pennies on the dollar?

Sell them to a young whipper-snapper like me for pennies on the dollar? If my wife sells them for what I told her I paid for them, it will be pennies on the dollar. |

Just bought a lower this evening. Mid level brand I like. Only one I could I could find for sale tonight anywhere for a bit over MSRP and not on auction. Everyone else was OOS.
Just felt like I should. |

Quoted: PSA by themselves are fine in my experience but upgrading to BCM or higher end rifles is also a good idea with a focus on high end optics and night vision. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Pfft. Now is the time to dump all those PSA's you thought you would arm friends and family with. Tons of people out there ready to blow their stimulus money on stupid items at ridiculous prices. Take that money and put it towards quality things like nods/lasers/optics. I would much rather have a pair of quality fighting rifles with gear than a dozen PSA bargain builds. PSA by themselves are fine in my experience but upgrading to BCM or higher end rifles is also a good idea with a focus on high end optics and night vision. I am sort of just getting started, what optic/night vision setup do you recommend and why? Thanks. |

Quoted: No he was not, sometimes folks don't like how someone posts or disagrees with them vehemently and take it upon themselves to get confrontational and knowingly violate forum rules to get their point across. And it is not like I have the power to force members into my threads against their will and make them post COC violations. They are under their own free will click my thread and also decide to post whether within the rules or outside the rules on their own.
