For the most part, I used to purchase the vast majority of my firearms new, but for the most part, my recent purchases have been used. My clays guns were both used, as well as my two go to hunting shotguns. I have also purchased more used rimfires than new rimfires over the last several years. It seems that as the prices of new firearms had gone up, good deals on used firearms have become more common. I find that as long as a person knows what to look for, and you are patient, you can save a great deal of cash by watching the used firearms market. On the other hand, if you have no idea what to look for, you can end up with someone else's problems.
