I think gunbroker is a better indicator of value than AZ as gunbroker is national and AZ is one of 50 states and in my experience has a bunch of dudes with deep pockets and short arms.
I am not looking to sell anything. I started the thread from a spot of humor but .. if I am looking at what current pricing on something is I DONT depend on the local boards.
I have watched stuff reasonably priced sit on the locals that would be gone quick on gunbroker. That damn Nickle S&W 27 that was on here until just recently was well priced and sat for some 5 months.
Admittedly gunbroker is a bit more work than just meeting up with someone in a parking lot for a seller. Starting tomorrow Gunbroker collects tax for AZ so that can change things.
Could be that AZ being as gun friendly as it has been none of us are running out to buy guns so can wait it out. I have some wants but its not like I'm not covered.
Selling gun stuff in AZ except for inexpensive guns has never really been great for me. I have made and sold over 500 holsters, rave reviews on other boards and on the net at various locations, lots of repeat customers to include some out of state PD ... about 15 holsters "maybe" over 5 years were sold in AZ.
Local guy just wrote to offer me $60 for a double layer decorated 686 holster. You cant buy a mass produced junk leather holster from south of the border for that. Im not bitter .. you can offer what you like and I dont lack for buyers and I am honestly trying to keep it real small this time around and produce just a few things a month but
No .. AZ is not the place to judge nationwide value.
Friday going out to shoot my 229 and my GP100 .. suddenly I am going to feel like a rich dude on the golf course .. might have to wear a fancy shirt!! Between ammo and my collectable guns .. Im a sport'in
