No telling how many dealers are a block or two away offering $55 for revolvers and $105 for rifles or shotguns.
The kind of people who trade guns in in these bogus shams know little or nothing about them, or they turn in garbage nobody would use which isn’t worth the tax dollars paid for them.
Its a scam - ALL the way around.
Funny you should mention that. I have always wanted to set up a table a few yards away from one of those ridiculous “buy-backs” and offer $5 to $10 more than the cops are offering.
I once saw video on the news of a guy standing in line at a DC gun “buy-back” holding a new-looking Armalite AR15, for which he was going to collect the princely sum of $100.
Another woman bragged on camera about getting $50 for her dead father’s “...old revolver, which always scared me as long as it was in the house, but I just never knew what to do with it”. The “old revolver” turned out to be a ‘60s vintage nickel-finish Colt Python .357 magnum.
It never ceases to amaze me ho stupid some sheeple are.
