One thing that annoys me is dealers that walk around a gunshow looking at what you happen to be carrying. They are looking to lowball you on stuff they think they can quickly flip for an outrageous price.
I grew tired of Dealers wanting to look at what I was carring around the gun shows and then saying to me, after I gave them my price, "Bring it back around later and I'll make you a fair offer". The two times I went back they offered me half of what I eventually sold it for.
Now when I walk through and they ask, I just tell them, "You can't afford it" and walk away.
Dealers are there to sell whatever they have at whatever price they can get. They have no incentive to pay you what it's worth so don't bother asking them. If a new-be/virgin gets stung it will be his fault for not asking/researching before he walked in.
That said, I've always offered my 2¢ and more than once have had people stop me and ask for more info before they buy.
I have rarely had a dealer give me a completely truthful answer to my question. The few that have, have correctly sized me up based on my questions.
