This is just my opinion, but I frankly don't care what the seller may "have in" the gun. That's his problem. If he overvalued it when he bought, that does not mean that I have to pay more than comparable guns are selling for in my area. I see the same thing with car prices. Probably a lot of other examples as well. The bottom line is you should not pay more than you feel is fair, taking EVERYTHING into consideration. -Ed
