I wouldn't go lower. This local market is really tight and it is a tough time of year being right after Christmas. So, it might be best to keep it and try again later. These are going for will over $1000 on GB plus shipping, sales tax and transfer fee.
No sales tax if it's a gift. This is true anywhere. The folks at RG&R are just nice enough to point out that tax is applied to the sale price, not the gun's blue book value if it is gifted. Sorry for the derail. glws.
