It's there. Not new.

The transaction volume of C&R holders cannot compare with dealers. Dealers living on gun transactions, and living on gun transactions must not be easy... for example, earning $500 out of a $1500 item sounds like attractive but it is not an easy task. If a dealer sells $1500 every day, he/she could earn about $100K per year pretax ($500 x 200 working days)... as we can see, very few C&R holders could sell $1500 every day for months, let alone for years. For many listed items, regardless being good or bad, the items just listed there for weeks, for months. Even selling a few were not easy, let alone selling a few hundred.. so, how many C&R holders could live on gun transactions? probably none. To live on gun transactions, dealer needs to sell at least a few hundred guns per year,,, and his/her career as a dealer was not a one-year task... he/she needs to repeat that every year... the goal, the mission and the volume is totally different comparing with C&R holder.

The only way that C&R holder could make a few dollars out of C&R being "steal buy". You found items way lower than market. That happens but the volume is tiny. Simply not many items are sold very low. C&R holders cannot live on those either. Lack of volume decided the fate.
