I know the rules, don't crap on anyone's sales. But if you have to bump your ad over 50 times for a $100 item, over a six month timeframe, maybe you priced it too high.

And they don’t take offers.
Some stuff is just waiting on the right buyer for the niche item.
Others like ammo that’s 20 -40 percent higher than ammo seek
So anyway who wants some brand new G SuperDuty uppers. $1000 obo
Flir Hiss XLR $83,500
I know what I have no low balls

There are also all the Down syndrome ads that don’t post important shit like barrel length, caliber, condition, any aftermarket parts, amount of use, magnification, ring diameter, etc.
Then there are the ads where you ask a question about said item, and the seller can’t be bothered with a response.
Oooh, and my favorite are the used items listed for the same as new items.
I just lol on past the items.

I won’t shit post in them, but I dang sure use that react button.
It’s real good when I get a PM from the seller…. “I’m confused, why did you laugh at my for sale post.”
lol

Sorry, but I glanced at that last line too fast and read “I know that I have low balls”
Shit posting should be allowed in the PX.
My personal favorite is when I can Google the item and find it for less brand new.
And they have bumped it 250 times because "I know what I paid for it 5 years ago".
Nevermind the price has dropped or you paid above MSRP because you couldn't use Google then either...

Or it’s used. It’s fucking used!!!
Am I crazy for thinking that used stuff should be cheaper than new?
I mean, I've bought a few things new in box off the px because someone ordered it, finger fucked it, and didn't feel good and sold it to me for 80% of MSRP.
Then you'll have that one guy who paid $3k for a set of SIG binos, wants the newer ones, and bumps a post trying to get rid of them for $2800 after a year of use. They're dirty and he can't be bothered to take pictures of the lenses to show they're not all scratched up.
Meanwhile every place that has them on the shelf is having a fire sale for brand new stuff at $1500.
And he'll act frustrated with his 24 hour bumps for 6 months before he gives up.
I have sent PMs to sellers - with current ad prices for the same items, and explained why nobody is buying when the item is half the price somewhere else. On a couple of occasions - I sent a screen shot from my order if I already purchased the item.
In every instance - the seller sounded genuinely appreciative of the information.

Maybe we should start a for sale thread here in the bear pit.
Or you post s highly sought-after item at the going rate, ignore a lowball then get a PM complaining you didn't give the lowballer a chance to up his bid before selling.
Some dumb kid I used to work with had some junk-ass Land Rover(but I repeat myself) and was trying to sell it. It was a 90’s Range Rover(I think) that always had the interior ripped apart because he was doing some dumb shit to it. The one cool thing it had was an Old Man Emu lift and he had the nerve to say that shit in the article. And he was obnoxious it, too
guess you should go to some cent fl gun shows. items rode hard,put away wet with some rust going @ $100> MSRP. see same 50% too high items year after year. been going to gun shows for decades but i can't understand this "business model". same with pawn shops around here. rarely see anything less than FFL shop retail. forget C&R gun pricing.Am I crazy for thinking that used stuff should be cheaper than new?

None of my business what people sell their stuff for.
Half you people blow a damn gasket when someone merely questions the rampart price gouging in this industry, especially during shortages.
Folks pay to sell here and lowlight make the rules on how that is to be done. As for me, I can buy or pass……

I went to one, and it's been probably 15 years ago.
Nothing but pure garbage or collectors guns priced higher than giraffe pussy.
Think I saw more parts kits and spam cans than I knew existed, but I can't bring myself to deal with AK platform problems. This was when parts kits were running sub $200, later I heard the same guys were asking $1500 after Sandy Hook.
Every time a gunshow is scheduled. I am scheduled to be oconus. Its a conspiracy i tell you!!!!!
Damn them!!! Damn them all to hell!! Those damn dirty apes!!!
I cashed in pretty good after Sandy Hook. $80 boxes of 9mm. Straight up ape raped those idiots too stupid to stay stocked. Well deserved, and NO LUBE!
Everyone was grateful they were able to score and one moron on XDTalk came back for thirds.
My city is boomer central in AZ. Gun+trinket shows aplenty. Love seeing the $15 for a "high capacity" $10 magpul m2 mag.
I tell them High capacity = 30 rounds which is actually standard capacity in AZ, and that I know they got them for like max 8-10$

I love going to gun shows to see what's out there and to bullshit, but then I'm a boomer. 
The last one I went to I bought a book and a couple ammo cans, probably been twenty years since I bought a rifle at one.

What I hate most about online sales. I don’t use something for a couple years or more, sometimes a lot more years. So, I decide to sell it. I try to price cheap, because I want it sold. And yep sometimes it gets sold.
Then….THEN…..THEN…Six months later, I find that’s exactly what I need and now I don’t have it and have to pay twice what I just sold it for to get a replacement.

Those are the Fudd hunters. They're waiting for a guy in new balance shoes who's never used the internet to come buy their $100 G.I. issued 30carb mags.
Gun shows are unfortunately jokes by and large these days. I used to like to go to them just to remind me of the days when I was a kid and dad would take me. Nowadays it is chalked full of beat up Ruger Americans with Barska scopes for $700. Get pissed, go to buy some beef jerky and even that dude is asking $3/oz. Anything you see there you can get 25-50% cheaper online.
The only satisfaction I get out of going to one now is crop dusting, and then stepping away to watch the other guys blamingly mean mug each other in disgust.

I was going to wait 6 months after this thread is dead to ask if it is still a thing........ But I couldn't wait. 
Its not just the PX here
Every gun forum that has a for sale section has guns at or above MSRP with a LNIB comment
or maybe $5 below MSRP like no one knows how to use the internet to check prices
I figure there must be bigger idiots buying the shit at these prices eventually or sellers would give up
I also notice that anything posted at what is considered a reasonable cost for a used item is snatched up in a minute
Poors doing poor shit

Never bought a car at a car show, so I don't go expecting deals at a gun show.
Now as far as ads here go... there's three of them active now that I'd love to address, but it would be obvious who I meant. They're in no danger of selling them though, so there's no need to single them out.

I do like to remind people that they are free to get a table at a gun show and sell their stuff real cheap if they like.
I’ve gotten deals at gun shows.
You wait until the last day. Then the booth owners get to decide whether they want to pack it all up or not.

It's probably not that common, but it's also a way for felons to get what they want in states that allow private sales, or from people who don't care.
