Misc Gunpost: should I even bother?
New PAL holder here. I am familiar with firearms but new to being an owner.
There's a number of firearms I'd like to acquire over the next few years (22LR bolt action, hunting rifle, a lever action etc.). I'm in no hurry, and not too picky on specific models, so I thought "no problem, I'll just take my time, wait for the right thing to come up on Gunpost in my area, and save myself 25-30%".
....except most posts on Gunpost are consistently at or above new price at Cabela's or one of my local gun stores. They're even worse deals when you compare to online gun stores. At best I'd be saving $50-100 in tax vs a new gun - hardly worth it IMO.
Am I stupid? Are all these sellers pricing high in the expectation of selling lower? Or should I just give up and buy new?
(this is lower mainland BC, so I'm willing to believe that local sellers are dumber than the average...)
