I am a dealer ,and have been selling guns for over 20 years.My take on buyers make offers is its almost an art.You have to know how to do it the right way.The first thing is get to know the dealer.Visit him on a regular basics and get to know him.Then when its time he will be much more excepting of your offer if he likes you.
The next step is to know what it is you are buying,and know what a good price is.That way when you are ready to make the offer you know your stuff.If the asking price is a good and fair price pay it.(it want last long)If its high then take a minute to think it over and then make our offer.but don't be one that talks the gun down.I hate to hear a guy dogging the item out and then still wanting to buy it.If its that bad you wouldn't want it.Also make a fair offer.Nothing turns a seller off more than a ridiculous offer.(example: say i have $899 on a gun and you offer $400)I would rather burn the gun that sell it to a dumb @ss .(that one really get me hot)People think we get this things for free.We have to pay for them,and now a days we have to pay good.The internet has changed that.Sellers are more educated .They know what there item is worth and want all they can get.Most of the time we are only making a couple hundred dollars on a gun.New guns are a joke,you can make more on a used gun,but its not like robbing a bank.we have bills to pay,and have more competition than ever before.
what i am trying to say is,be kind,curious,and friendly. make a fair offer,and try to think about both sides of the sell.
