What is a ballpark figure for the markup on a Mossy 500 wing gun these days? Or what would a ballpark figure be on any given day? The market is in central Florida and the shop is a small outfit. Might move 30-40 firearms a month, by my rough guess.
To make a long story short, I had a family member purchase it at a local shop when I asked for a Mossy 500, but I was out of the country and panic buying was already in full swing. I failed to provide more coordinating instruction than that and ended up with the duck gun. As soon as I returned to the U.S., I came into an 870 and I want to sell the Mossy back to the LGS, minus half of what their profit was when I bought it. My situation has changed rapidly and I need to sell it by week’s end.
I figure that’s fair and everyone makes out, but I have no idea what the profit margin might be.
