I have a few thoughts about this;

Most of us that have been on this forum for sometime remember the older bbs sales days where sales threads were on page 3 after 30 mins

Sales were fast and frequent you had to be quick to say I’ll take it and there used to be loads of items floating around.

I guess it was a sign of the times as more choice started to appear from the other outlets which started to gather momentum eg freeads, gunstar, guntrader, other shooting forums etc so we started to reach saturation point which in turn obviously predictably slowed the sales on the bbs.

I don’t do Facebook but have heard there’s also dedicated sales sections on there so as above more choice perhaps.

Another thought is maybe we are at a point where perhaps new shooters requiring used items just isn’t as popular as it once was

I come from a motortrade background which is rife with going through sales slumps and seasonal sales etc

Possibly the gun trade is starting to get more noticeable peaks and troughs perhaps.
