I looked at those and their used price was the same as YHM's new price when you could still get the pre-low back pressure cans.

You can also watch the NFA section on the EE.
In my opinion, you are probably better off just buying new.
Most of the time the can is either priced too much, or is being sold by an individual in a different state-usually on a form4, so 2 stamps to purchase it really negates worth purchasing.
That being said, you might come across a good deal depending on how patient you are. Good luck.

Yep, every one is thinking the same thing, with tech advances, doesn't make sense.  Unless you want one for nostalgic reasons.

Unless you’re talking about a particularly nostalgic or clone specific suppressors, cans are generally considered wear items are having to pay $200 tax and wait several months to complete a sale just to get rid of one usually means common unused cans end up sitting in the back of the safe.

Tri arc used to sell pd trade ins. They go quick and I haven't checked recently if they're still doing it.

Try Phoenix Distributors (call them) or check their GunBroker listings. I would call and ask because they don't always list everything.

GT Distributors too.

These 2 receive agency trade-ins all the time.

Also maybe try Clyde Armory in Athens, GA.

The reality for private consumers is that most people never offer used ones for sale on the secondary market, since all the NFA restrictions make it a buyer's market and they'd prefer to avoid that. (There's also a lack of people understanding how to affect transfer, etc.)

Purchased my Gemtech Predator from GT's, IIRC is was $160.  Police dept trade in. That was a while ago though.  Not sure if they still do it since they have a Silencer Shop kiosk in the stores now.

Clyde Armory in GA does a lot of Agency work and has a robust Agency trade in selection.

They also have a whole case full of older AAC /Gemtech etc. Just give them a call and ask what they might have.
I've seen Mini 4's, Tirants, Treks, etc.
