Buying Gun, deal or no

[RH822]

I'm thinking on buying a Taurus 945 blue in like new condition. It's fired less than 150 rounds it comes with 3 mags, box and paperwork. All for $275.
The seller is a friend of mine and is selling it because he carries his .40 and "just don't need the .45". Well neither do I, but for $275 I figure, why not. Opinions?

There are none for under $399 on Gunsamerica, so my opinion is that I wish I had a spare $275 and your friend's phone number.

If you can think of any use for it, grab it - if not, grab it anyway, and sell it for a profit. Since it's LNIB I'm sure you'd be able to get $325 for it at any random gunstore, so there's fifty bucks for you to put towards something you do want.

I don't believe in buying guns just to buy. I get guns I want & will use. That said, if the gun is one you'll shoot & appreciate, it's a really attractive price...go 4 it

If you have no need for it then be sure you can at least make a dollar or two selling it.

 

[The Deer Hunter]

if you plan on buying it and selling it higher, thats just wrong. Hes your freind and should tell him he could get more for it.

Amen to that. Selling it for profit is a weasel move.

I don't recall him saying that he was going to sell it for a profit. The question was is it a good deal or not. Why do people have a problem answering the question that is asked?

A lot of times, a guy doesn't really know if the next gun he buys is going to turn out to be his all-time favorite or just another piece of iron to get rid of. $275 ain't chump change. Pay your money & do whatever pleases you.

Since when do I, or for that matter, any of us, need a reason to buy a gun or a use for that gun? (sounds like someplace I don't want to live) I have several guns that I don't "need", isn't "want" good enough anymore?

BTW
My friend did know how much the gun was worth, the $275 was a friends and family price. Don't any of you offer stuff to your friends and family at a reduced price? And No the intent is not to re-sell it for profit, friends don't do that to friends.

give me your friends number and i'll buy it i mean tell him that too hahaha

its worth it, buy it, shoot it, enjoy it, and then after a few 1000 rounds sell it to me for 250 and ill be happy

I dont sell anything to friends or family at all. They have a bad tendency of not paying.
