My question is very simple:
Why is a police trade-in worth significantly less than an otherwise owned firearm in the exact same condition?
See it on pricing online and have experienced it myself. Once sold a G26 and the guy got angry b/c it was a police trade-in and I did not disclose the fact. He was looking at the gun and I was about the 4th owner, so I didn't think for a minute it was relevant. Seems like most feel it is though. I just don't get it.
If the gun is marked for the department or has compliance features I understand, but if it is just a normal gun...
