I find that as long as a person knows what to look for, and you are patient, you can save a great deal of cash by watching the used firearms market. On the other hand, if you have no idea what to look for, you can end up with someone else's problems.

Sometimes the prices aren't deals at all. I've been shopping the used market and a used Finnlight at $1800 isn't much of a deal [for example]. I think you can find better deals if you are looking for older models.
