Wanted to trade a basicly new Sig P220 Elite, 3 mags, and a holster for a Savage rifle that retails at $799. Said he'd go $400 at most...says Sigs just don't sell. Does he know something I don't?
Not buying this for a second. They make MORE money if you trade in a gun like the OP's wanting to trade in. So they give you $400 for the Sig and you add another $400 on top of that for a Savage? Really.....come on. Essentially they're getting around $1000 for a Savage that probably cost them $625+/-. He will resale the Sig for $600 + the $400 you throw on top to make the deal.He knows his bottom line and what he needs to turn a profit. He doesn't make any money trading guns...he makes money SELLING them.
Some shops are worst than used car lots.

They do what they can do to make money, can't really fault them for that.
The customer can always just turn and walk away.
No disrespect, but $400 for a $1000 Sig with all the extras? What should one expect for that?yep, gunshops are not charitable institutions. not sure why people walk in there expecting their gun's weight in gold....

He wants to make as close to double on a used gun as possible. Mainly because used guns sit on the shelf longer than new guns. That means every second it sits there it takes up room a new gun could be using.
