Private Buyers at Dallas Gun Buyback Find Great Deals on Firearms

Private buyers at the Dallas gun turn-in event, also known by the Orwellian term “buyback,” were able to purchase numerous firearms at bargain prices. The gift cards ran out in the first hour, and the first ten vehicles in line. Before then, prices tended to be a bit higher than the value of gift cards offered. After the cards ran out, prices tended to drop. There were about a dozen private buyers at the event. Some purchased items other than guns. One person purchased an 870 shotgun barrel. Another hauled off several hundred rounds of ammunition for very little or nothing. It appeared to this correspondent the private purchasers all purchased more than one firearm. One purchased at least a dozen firearms.

  2. I thought buy-back firearms wound up like statues of Confederate generals, melted down

    1. Get the sellers before they get up to the counter. That's what "private buyers" means.

  3. Those are great events to go to with a pocket of cash. The only one I managed to get to had some real nice toys. Some folks are adamant about turning them in for whatever, but many are happy to get money instead of gift cards. I picked up a Security 6 in .357, a Mossberg 500 12 gauge and a Sears .22 rifle, all for less than $500.

    Alas, all were lost in a freak canoe accident.

    1. How many feds fit into a canoe?
      That, right there, sounds like a recipe for accidental disaster.
