Firearm Buy Back

Not a Gun Show, but a buying opportunity. Has anyone ever gone to one and offered cash?

We had members at two of them this past weekend. They did not have much luck. Maybe it was the weather.

This one is offering $$$, where the others were not.

I thought the one not in Sykesville was offering gift cards.

They're offering $50 Giftcards for shotguns & rifles. I figured offering the same or a little more in cash, might help.

I was at the Sykesville (no gift cards, just turn in) and Laurel (up to $150 gift card) events last weekend. It is true that there wasn't much other than junk coming in that we saw, but you never know when that one gold nugget will turn up. Plus, on principle, its always good to show that these events intended to bribe people to disarm themselves do not go unchallenged. I understand that this does give a public means for people who don't know any better to get rid of something they don't want, but I feel like they are pushing an agenda and preying on people during hard economic times.

!!!!! Holy hell! I planned on going just to get a deal! (And something other then 22) I had an experience like that at an estate sale last year. I bought an umbrella for $5, turned out it was made by the leather maker for the royal family, flipped it on eBay for $500

Why don't the ones offering cash/gift cards/etc. have to be licensed ffl's? Who is doing the frickin" paperwork? This is worse than any "gunshow" event. :sad20:

Can I turn in gang members & drug dealing criminals the root of the crime problems. Not legal law abiding firearm owners. I'm sure they would say sorry no leave the criminals alone!

I went last Saturday in laurel and cleaned up! but I was selling

made $1050 on scrap metal and bought a vz with 1/2 the gift cards. I am going to landover this Saturday to see if I can do it all over again

Isn't it not a good idea to post pictures of those gift cards?

luckily my standard capacity wallet sprayed them out at full auto after I attached the shoulder thing that goes up

as for the pic,the cards are worthless unless activated

I never hear about these things until after the fact up in Baltimore.

My favorite is the pricing they have set up:
Shotguns and Rifles - $50.00 Handguns - $100.00 Automatics and Semi-Automatics - $150.00
