Perhaps.
It's a also way for a dealer to avoid revealing to the consignor how much a gun sold for....
Sell it for $30,000, tell the consignor it went for $25,000, pocket the $5,000 difference + your consignment fee...
Dealers will also feel out buyers -- especially if they don't know how much an item is worth. If they feel like you can pay a lot, they'll ask a lot and see what happens.
Total BS, in my opinion. Put a price on it. Then we'll talk about selling/buying it.
