I'm looking for a VP9 tactical NIB on gunbroker, and I'm trying to understand a price disparity between auctions that close around $1300-1400 and Buy Now that aren't moving at $1100. Both are new in box items, and the main differences seem to be Auction vs. Buy Now, and sealed NIB vs. NIB that's been opened for display and photos.
Is a sealed box worth an extra $300? Or do people just get caught up in the auction? And why aren't the Buy Now items selling? The company auctioning the sealed NIB firearms seem to have inventory that they're dribbling out both individually and as sequentially numbered pairs, so there's clearly demand at the higher price point. Having not yet bought through gunbroker, what am I missing?
