Yessssss, please - Bless you Vold, and all others willing to assist! Help us give a big FU to ole' Chuckie and Hitlery.
Dont tie up the thread with want to buy posts - but please, if you've got a preban '94, and you are willing to trade/sell, please visit the WTT forum or the NY/NJ hometown forums. |

I would in a heart beat. Unfortunately, i do not have the funds to do so, or the guns. If i had a preban, it would be in a box this very morning to one of those people.
Sorry

I already have a deal going to trade a preban PWA complete lower for a new PWA or LMT. Anybody who charges these guys more than "No-Ban" lower prices is a complete scumbag.

Yeah, that guy is not really doing them much of a favor. If you looked you could find them for $500 months ago. There is a guy in EE that want s to sell his lower to a slave state person for $500 and still sound like he's doing someone a big favor. S.O. |

With all due respect, trying to swap a post ban even up for pre-ban is an insult.
Why in the heck would someone who paid lots of money for a pre-ban during the ban sell or swap it for something that cost half or a third as much? His preban lower may not be worth more than a post ban but he has a hell of a lot more in it. Why should he take the hit? If you guys in occupied states want pre-bans it has to be a win-win situation. I don't mean you have to bend over, but netiher should the guy with the pre-ban. And no, I don't have a pre-ban for sale or trade. |

Maybe just to be nice? The guys with the pre-bans aren't going to make up that lost money anyways. And if anything THEY are getting the better end of the deal since they are getting a NEW lower compared to the other guy getting a USED lower. SGtar15 |

Ummmm a lot of these guys who are trading owned their rifles BEFORE the ban, they DIDN'T pay an arm and a leg, and they are not trying to profit off of others' misfortune. God Bless them, their kindness will not be forgotten. I have a couple strangers on here willing to trade EVEN with me as well as a couple friends I've made here. The strangers are now friends to me, and if I'm selling something in the future and they are interested... well they are going to get one amazing deal from me. Kindness begets kindness. |

I look at it this way:
If you have a "preban" that is collectable, as in a perfect old Colt, or something along those lines, the price should be high ($900-1200) BUT, if you have a "preban" lower that is not collectable, and in no way of a higher quality than a new Eagle, RR, or Bushy... ...DO THE RIGHT THING. Trade it for a new lower with a NYer. A Colt lower with a "sear block"? Trade it. |

ITS TOO HELP OUT FELLOW ARFCOM MEMBERS STUCK WITH A STATE AWB! I don't really understand your statement of "Why Should He Take The Hit". You already TOOK the hit! I would hope you took it with a smile. Your preban is now worth nothing more than a new "No-Ban" lower, except to the minority of members who to live with a state AWB. How exactly is the preban owner going to get "Bent Over"? He gets a brand new lower and the satisfaction of knowing he stuck it the man and helped out a fellow ARFCOM member. |

Interesting thread.
I have a pre-ban AKS-762 with the goodies (mags, mounts), with perhaps 300rds through it that has been locked in a gun case for most of the last decade. Not certain if any NY brothers would have a desire for such a weapon. Never really gave any thought to parting with it... but it seems it might be of more use to someone up there. My ARs are the only things I fire regularly, thus I might consider trading the AKS for an M4 or cash. (no idea what the current values of the AKS are vs an M4... apologies if I just proposed ripping someone off... I will research the values later today) My location is south central PA. |

Contraire! This does not make sense. If there is a demand somewhere for a pre '94, then it is more desirable and thus worth more. I guarantee that any of my prebans would go for more than $1000 in NY. ...and really, what is the advantage of a new lower to an old lower? Nothing. All of mine are in excellent condition. I paid $1500 for one of my prebans, and I will not be made to feel guilty by someone who wants me to just throw away my investment for an even trade. There has to be a meeting in the middle. Something equitable would be a brand new rifle in trade for my good condition preban. Another option would be to split the difference between my pre-ban cost ($1500) and the cost of a new rifle ($800). There are individuals who have kindly and politely inquired about the fate of my preban collection after the sunset. These individuals will be given first consideration from me, and will be given the best deal. For these people, I would be more inclined to take a hit for the greater good. Guilt trips will be met with harsh words. FWIW: I have already received more offers than pre-bans I own, and those will be the only ones considered, and none of my Colts are for sale, period. |

I stated in the other thread that I have a PWA Commando (hence my moniker) that I am willing to let go to help out someone behind enemy lines. I can let it go comeplete or seperate out. This is ~'89 vintage, IM or e-mail me. I'm not looking to make money off of it.

LOL, excellent post. I paid $450- for my Colt in 1986. It went up in value to $1600 or more, and now it's back to $800 or so (?). I couldn't care less, it wasn't bought to be an investment, it was bought to shoot. |

Cin, VA... its cool. If somebody was dumb enough*wink wink* to pay $1,500 for a pre-ban, I can see why they would want to get their money back if possible. Absolutely this IS a free economy and they are free to put whatever price on their goods they want. Just like the guy at the gun show who is going to have a $1,500 price tag on his rifle in hopes somebody is foolish enough to buy it at that price. He might be holding onto it for a few years, but if they can convince themselves they have not taken a hit on the value of their rifle... so be it. Nevermind the rifle would have never been worth that if not for the ban in the first place.
What it boils down to is this. They welcome the various state bans because it is their ONLY chance of recouping their investment. Think about that, they welcome unconstitutional bans because it enriches them. There are fortunately many people here who realize that this was a major victory for us, even if some gun owners took a hit on the value of their collection. Trading pre-bans for no-bans is one more twist of the knife in the backs of the gun grabbers. |

I don't have any ARs for sale, but I do have a pre-ban Cobray M11/ 9mm and M12/ 380acp new in box, unfired, if anyone thinks they would be interested. Never really thought about letting them go, but I guess I could.

What you paid for it and what it is worth are two very different things as of Monday. You may buy a new car today for 25,0000 but in ten years it AIN'T gonna be worth 25,000. The worth in Pre bans was the ability to accpet the evil stuff. Now, they all can and what you ave is the same as what I have: A ten year old used rifle. SG |

...and he doesn't have to sell it either... Period. Get over it! You want it, you pay his price. It's called a seller's market. Nothing pisses me off more than someone wanting something I have, telling me how much it's worth, and trying to pull a guilt trip on me for not playing their game. Edited to add: We're not talking about plywood, generators, batteries or drinking water Floridians NEED. Here raising prices unnecessarily would be unethical, of course. Here, we're talking about something people WANT. Market value is determined by demand. There is obviously a demand. I'll be generous and take a hit on my terms. I'm all for taking a loss to help fellow New Yorkers out, but when the tone turns to demands, and not a gracious request- deals off. |

I had some interest in a complete pre-ban Bushamster, M4gery, in EXCELLENT condition, but nobody followed through.
Last chance, then I'm keeping it. I will sell the COMPLETE rifle only. (Letter from Bushmaster stating pre-ban status included), M4 upper(honestly, maybe 300 rounds through it tops), pre-ban Bushamster lower, M4 handguards, Phantom, Fobus G-27 grip, A3 w/ carry handle. Sale will be for the actual cost for replacement of a new M4 Colt or Bushmaster...their prices appear to be the same. IM me with questions or interest in this and/or shipping/FFL cost details. Not seperating the lower, not parting it out. The rifle is beautiful. |

You cheesedicks bitching about the money you lost make me sick.
I've sold my Colt lower to a NY crew member for a double hell of a lot less than I paid for it. It's called helping a brother out, and I'm not LOSING shit, because the gun isn't worth any more than I sold it to him for IN MY STATE. Plus, I get a new lower with a pushpin and standard trigger/hammer pins. How's that losing? You sound like those assholes with a safe full of MGs who DON'T want the ban to expire because they're going to lose money... NEWS FLASH: this ain't about money. If you look at your guns as an "investment" instead of freedom tools, you're a dickhead. In my opinion, of course. |

In essence, yes. There's more to this issue, than just the free market. It's about solidarity amongst gun owners, and the lack of ethics amongst those who wish to profit from the assault weapons ban. So what if you spent $2K on a preban. You did so because you wanted the gun. Or was it an investment? |

It aint about money. It's about them getting off thier ass' and going something to improve thier situation. If they don't like being opressed then they need to elect people with thier views, move or just shut up. NOBODY is making them live where they do. It's a choice they are making. They can choose to do something or not. That is thier business. I will not help them to sit on thier ass and cry about how bad they have it.
