    If a shop buys a rifle for $1000 from a wholesaler and sells it for $1300 retail, the moment it goes out the door it is second-hand and has a trade-in value slightly less than the cost of a new replacement from the wholesaler. It is only after a few years of inflation that your trade-in value will exceed the price you paid, and that only applies if you have looked after it. Standard business practice. No shop is going to do a trade-in for more than the cost of buying a new item at the wholesale price.

    Quite right .The dealer isn't going to pay more than 80% of the new wholesale price , then he will take the offer down again for wear and tear . Then he will claim back gst , add on his margin and gst . Also the dealer would take the firearm being traded into consideration , is it new ?, has it been in stock for ages ?, is it rare / collectable and an easy sale , etc . Second hand firearms that are still in production will have a higher margin on them than new ones , so do collectable ones , and therefor can be haggled down . Make sure the firearm you want to trade is as clean as you can make it before you attempt the trade .
    Get as close as you can then six feet closer
