I gave a few Browning dealers a call today as regarding a part exchange deal on my old immaculate Browning 425 grade 5 for a new Browning XS Pro considering the new gun comes in at near £3800 then it’s £200 cash back from Browning the best bid I got was £900 for my old gun, considering the same dealer which has a identical 325 as mine for sale for £1995, the new XS Pro can stay on the dealers gun rack.

Sounds like a private sale is your best bet

It’s easy to feel you’re getting done ( I’ve never had a good gun buying experience ! ) , but dealers are a business . Think of it this way , you’ve a 20 to 25 year old gun that was around £1800 new . Its possibly fired thousands of rounds and it’s probably only depreciated by 2% per annum on its original new price . In that respect your 425 only lost around £45 for every year of usage . That’s not bad .

Put the 425 on Gun Trader for a few weeks . ,

They're going for around £1200 to £1600 on the gun sale sale websites. Which to be will be lower once a discount is negotiated due to the the steel effect and it could sit on the shelf for quite a while, plus there's VAT etc. If you can throw in a "Give me a grand and I'll do it now with the difference in cash" it may swing the deal.

Yes that is my plan I am going to give it a go on Guntrader see if it goes I’d rather see a private buyer getting it for £1300 than get shafted by a dealer, the shop owner that offered me £900 for it told me he would mark it up for £1150 when I mentioned the one he had up for £1995 his reply “was nobody is buying guns anymore“

Thank you guys for your valuable response

I am having a similar experience. I have been interested in a gun that I know has been in the shop for some considerable time. I have made a £550 offer on a £650 gun, no part ex, cash sale. I was told it's a 'commission ' sale and we can only knock £50 off. This has occurred at 2 different gunshops, for the same make and model gun. Neither have bothered to contact the 'vendors' with my offers. I know that 1 shop has had the gun on their shelf for a couple of years at least.

I have a mate who experienced the same issue on a commission sale. This was, again, for a gun that had been on the dealers website for months and maybe over a year. It is advertised for £1050 and my mate offered £950 cash sale, and would have settled for the difference if there was a deal to be done. Absolutely no movement on price and a firm £1050.

The gun was a Breda 930i semi which is not going to be everyone's cup of tea and therefore I assume quite a smallish market and the dealer still has it advertised. I am pretty sure a call to the owner would have resulted in a sale as £950 (minus commission) in their pocket is better than months / years more sat collecting dust.
