Well, I heard about a bunch of NFA stuff that is now transferable that I still can't afford...
If you were hoping that the reclassification of some pre-samples would significantly lower the asking price of the already available transferables, I'm sorry to say, that's not going to happen.
And if you thought that these newly "transferable" pre-samples will be selling for anywhere near pre-sample prices, I'm even more sorry to say, that's not going to be the case.
Until this situation stabilizes and solid, repeated selling prices are established, I'm betting most people wanting to flip their new transferables are going to send them to one auction or another to maximize their return.
But even after the dust settles, you can bet that if anything, these new transferables are going to be selling for signifigantly more than their older transferable versions. At least for the ones that are "real" versions of the conversions that up until now, have been all we had available. Like UZIs and MP5s.
Because if you have a choice between a Group/Vector UZI, a IMI model A/B conversion or a real, made as a SMG, IMI UZI for around the same price, everyone would pick the real UZI SMG.
Why mess with conversions or clones when you can have the real deal?
And things like Walther MPL/MPK, Steyr MPI69/81 and Beretta PM12S? They never had transferable clones or conversions available on the transferable market until now, so they are going to be highly sought after and command unknown (for now) prices.
Newly transferable samples that have real, older transferable examples (like M3A1 grease gun, Thompsons, MG34s) will be about the same price as their older transferable versions, maybe a few hundred less, because there is no physical difference between the sample and the older transferable except for the time it was registered.
