Today I took my Benelli (PG stock, GR sights) to the gun show in my quest to get the cash to buy a Colt Python and a Remington 870. I've only taken the Benelli to the range once and put 25 shells through it, which is part of the reason I'm selling it: if I don't shoot a gun, I sell it. Anyway, I was asking $875 for the gun and the extra seven round tube, a price that's about what I paid for everything. I had the box and everything that comes with a new gun, but you would have thought I was asking $10,000. There was a guy there who had a pre-ban H&K (straight stock, rifle sights) who was asking $600 and eventually dropped his price to $500 and still had no takers.
To cut to the quick: am I out of line in asking for the price I paid (which I thought was a good price) for a gun that is essentially new? Or should I swallow hard and take a hit? I just get tired of losing money on guns at the shows.
Any opinions much appreciated.
