Let's see if I'm understanding this correctly, Cabelas pays wholesale (~80%) of retail and/or resale for used guns?
So if I take something in that's NIB/100% condition, and it wholesales for $800, and real world retail (not msrp) is $1000, I can expect to get close to $800?
Or is it more like they pay a PERCENTAGE of wholesale (60%, 70%, 80%, etc) based on condition? If you bring it in it legally is not NIB and cannot be sold as such by a licensed firearms dealer. It would be considered used and 99%. You or I as individuals could advertise it as NIB and sell it no problem, but not a dealer. The wholesale price of a used firearm is based on condition. So say you have a used firearm to sell and the dealer judges it to be in 75% condition. What you will be offered is nominally based on the blue book value of that firearm in that condition. So if the wholesale blue book value at 100% is $800.00 then you would be offered $600.00. But if the firearm is in high demand you could be offered more and conversely you could be offered less. Time of year plays a factor also. If tomorrow I decided to sell my Vanguard 30-06 I would try to wait until late August to sell it, unless I had an emergency and needed cash. Thanks for the explanation--I did notice this last weekend that there were fewer used gun racks out on the floor. Do they usually offer more value if it's being traded TOWARDS another gun in stock, versus paying cash? I have no idea. One thing I forgot to mention is this. At Cabela's, say if you trade in a gun for $300.00 credit and apply it towards the purchase of a gun that cost $800.00 then you only pay tax on the difference - $500.00. I would assume other dealers do the same.
Don’t roll those bloodshot eyes at me.

I sell new firearms at Cabela's. We had a department meeting Sunday and it was announced that the Gun Library is very low on inventory and is actively pursuing used firearms to purchase. The downside as you all know is that sellers are paid wholesale not retail.
I read the rules and did not see where this thread would be in violation. If it is then by all means delete it. I think I met you at the DSC show. If you are the same guy shoot me a PM I had told you I would be interested in building customs for your library

Might have been Jason.

Booradley, you're correct. Other dealers do the same. You only pay taxes on the difference in values. I like that at gun shows.

Used to be able to make good trade in deals at the Buda store. Then new management ruined it, I had gotten a few HK USP pistols cheap they gave me %50 blue book which was actually $100 more per pistol then I paid. Ah the good old days.

And that's why it's the good ole USA--shop anywhere you want. His post is clear, he's not asking for opinions--if you want to sell it there, do it, if you don't-he probably doesn't care. You are correct, I don't care. This bashing is getting pretty funny though. I get asked a couple of times a day if we buy or take trade ins on used guns. My response is always, "Yes but you need to understand you will be offered wholesale, not retail. If you have a gun that is worth $500.00 we will offer you $250.00-$300.00." I've then done my job as a caring human bean. I always wanted to meet a human bean
