Gun and gear reviews What’s going on with Gunpost prices?

What makes people post their used guns for above new prices? I’m looking for a 10/22 brand new they’re about $419.99 in my area, but every post I’m seeing is like $500-$1000. Why would anyone pay more for a used gun? I’m not even talking about modified ones, or optics or anything. Just a standard wood stocked ruger 10/22 for like $800.

The Canadian Boomer Gun Owner belongs to one of two factions:

  1. Fuck you buy my gun for $10,000

  2. Fuck you sell your gun for $1.00

The worst Gun Owners wear both faces.

and yet buying and selling in the gun world is still somehow paradise compared to buying and selling on facebook marketplace. the need to have a PAL i guess means you are dealing with someone that has at least 2-3 brain cells.
