Do gun prices fall

[Ignition Override]

Maybe there's not (?) "an elephant in the room".

Either way, over the long-term, don't assume anything about prices for any future gun After next November (just a random month), because nothing about the --prohibited topic-- can be assumed.

Sure prices drop. Aside from some reasons already mentioned. If they are not good sellers they will be shipped off to the wholesale market.

Almost every newly-marketed gun I have bought over the years have later gone down in retail price…while they are still in production.

Some blast off after they quit making them, others have values that rise more slowly. And a few specimens, well they actually lost value.

Stay safe.

Several manufacturers recently released new products and some seem to be pretty high in price for what they are. When i said this to a buddy, he stated he will wait a year until the new price falls a bit and that prices are usually crazy when they just release something. Anyone else find this true?

Gun prices do not fall.
Presidents - that's a "horse" of a different color.

Yep. I've been looking at CZ P-10C's. Per CZ-USA's website the MSRP is $399, most places around here are selling them for a whopping $10 below MSRP due to the buzz they've been getting lately. I'm holding off till mid year when the street price will hopefully be more like $350.

those were more expensive a few years ago. i think around $450.

Guns certainly do lose value, and that's not even counting depreciation due to use/condition. Collector markets can cool off as easily as they heat up. Used to be about $300 difference between a model 12 and a model 97 Winchester shotgun, with the 12 being pricier. They flipped about 20 years ago and a nice model 12 won't bring the sort of $ it did back then. A nice model 42 would have cost better than 2 grand in the mid 2000's, whereas I've seen a few here and there in the $1500 range recently. Model 52's? The 75's have about caught up in price.

Some guns just fall out of favor I guess.
Don't even get me started on the Thompson Center .22's.
New gun price drop? Ask around here about the Walmart closeouts and such ..
