Q:

people on TAG selling guns

I’ve only been on here for a year or so, is the rate that guns are being sold average for this site? Its seems a lot of people are parting with their AF guns.

I put mine up because of the “wife says too many air guns” theory. The pain of my last purchase is fading so the Condor is staying. I also have a Talon ss in the safe! lol
Nothing ticks the wife off more than the $1000 credit card bill for a new air gun! 😳

quote Riverside:

the AirForce line doesn’t lend itself well to immediate gratification seekers thus you do have a number of folks who grow disenchanted with their purchase as they simply want something absolutely turnkey.
couple that with the tactical appearance of the rifle which is fine looking at images online but really doesn’t work for a great many folks once their new toy arrives and they discover the horrid ergonomics of the rear tanker layout…just doesn’t work for many folks
add to that is while it looks tactical, its merely a single shot so the firearm guy who buys based on the cool factorrapidly loses interest as well.
all of these tend to be factors in the turnover rate

consider with the Crosman Marauder having only been out around what, a little over a year how many are now seen for sale on the Yellow then remember the Airforce guns have been around for many many years longer
given that it would seem more folks are dumping Marauders per capita of production numbers than Airforce variants 😀

But spend a little extra on the e-tacreg and its a goer, you get the comfortable shooting position back, and great consistency.

Turn over is great in this hobby. People buy and when they want something else but can not afford or justify another airgun they sell one to fund the other.

And sometimes people just need money or change hobbies

I think the turn around time is pretty high but seems normal. People tend to get fed up with tweaking and not sticking it out for the reward. Now I do see a lot of new members join to sell which seems off to me. But I’ve been on as long as you so take it for what its worth.
