WTH... Glimpse of the coming regime change?? Or just dumb people?
Seems like one in Texas too.

I'm betting Crimestoppers just paid $8000 for a bucket of rusted junk.

Just look at all these gems from a Baltimore Buyback where they spent $250,000

I have a few parts that might just classify as a "gun" for whenever the next buyback occurs. I can't wait!

That's funny! Crime Stoppers is currently holding a gun raffle in Bay county! LoL

I see alot of crusty parts kits and some nice ones on gunbroker. I wonder if they are chopping the receivers and selling the parts??? I actually bought a bersa 380 cc parts kit to replace her silde with a nicer one. Got all the parts except the frame and mag. $28. I'll throw the old wacked up one on ebay, maybe make my money back, lol.

Whenever I buy/trade and end up with a broken gun, or one breaks that would be costly to repair, I sell the parts on eBay and always have gotten pretty much the value of gun if not more, depending on make/model.

This. I have collected over the years enough "spare parts," that to the untrained eye, could be said to be a gun.

Same reason I keep a roll of 14" flat washers in the truck to pass along to the panhandlers that clog intersections for donations.

Man, I'd like to have some of that rusted junk, would keep me busy for years.
I say a few potential collectables.
Thats one thing that bothers me about buy backs, some potentially valuable items get destroyed.

Is it against the law in FLA to go to buy backs and buy guns from the people who show up?
