RE: FS Ruger 270 and Mossberg 835 (NIB)
Im having a hard time trying to figure out what is going on here.... First , it would not seem you know much about guns since you are way over pricing your guns, ( it's that , or your hoping no one else knows about guns with the sucker born every minute thought ) . Then you say price reduced, but don't list the prices, instead you post a bunch of pics....
No one said you didn't have enough pics, they said you were too high on prices...
Take the regular cost of the guns and subtract the cost of shipping and dealing through an FFL, and discount them even cheaper, cause no one is gonna give you the same money they can buy one for everyday..... then cut it a little more cause no one knows you, ......... then you might sell them....
If I can buy one ( the rifle )for 500.00 every day, and you list yours for 550.00 ... then you're too high.
If it will cost me 25.00 shipping, and 30.00 for an FFL.... and I need incentive since I dont know you.... then it's 500 - 25 -25 - ( about 50 .00 incentive )...thats about 400 to you for the gun. Remember, I can buy one new at my local dealer and not pay shipping, FFL costs, and I know them and they will stand behind it....
If I can buy the shotgun everyday for 329.00 then you need to price it around 245.00.
REMEMBER .... why pay more than I can buy it for in the store ...

MT, unlessa dealer has a bunch laying around from acouple of years agothat he is just having to dump and get what he can out of them you can't buy the Ruger for $500 retail if you were to order one today.
Ruger does not sell direct to dealers and sells only through distributors and distributor wholesale is over $500 and would retail for at least $569 if the dealer wnats to make anything off the deal. I just logged on to two different distributors sites and looked up the wholesale price. I agree that $550 is a little high for selling on the internet in a classafied ad but if it were my gunI wouldn't be letting it go for $400 either. Somewhere around $475 - $500 TYD and both parties would be coming out ok.
