I’ve noticed a spike on people selling their FX Impacts. Is their another new gun coming out or something else going on.

People selling their FX Impact

I think we are going to start seeing more in general just because of the sheer number of them sold. Over the last few years. It has been an extremely popular platform

I'm thinking people are selling the ones they have to get the new one rather than spending the money on the X barrel system, and for the magic "X" on the breech.

I'm very happy with mine! My only complaint is that I don't really have a good accessable place to shoot it to it's full potential.

For me it just wasnt tge gun for me.
They take a lot of tuning to get accurate and when you finally do there is so many things that can change that.
I didnt like how many parts there was to the gun. I didnt have any problem though. I'm more into the simple guns that's why I sold mine to but the edgun r5m

In my opinion, the simplest-built machines are usually the best. Less working parts on a machine/device almost certainly means it will yield reliable operation and long service life...and yes, less hairpulling on the part of the owner.

I had a little trouble with mine at first but now it’s shooting so well now I’m going to hold off on the X barrel.

For me, it's the other way around
Had a Impact, sold it, bought a Crown, sold it, and now I want a Impact again because it is THE most versatile barrel testrig ever.
The valve stroke adjuster is the secret weapon of the Impact. Don't tell anyone

I am just plain crazy about my impact .30
It would take a heck of a gun to be better than the impact.
fixin to send it to Earnest and get it tuned & valved.
I hardly shoot anything else these days. Impact is my goto

I am on the same boat as everyone else, Love my impact will never get rid of it. I have two of them and both are not in X barrel configurations but shoot amazing. I did buy the .25 barrels and .30 barrels to test out but have not put them on the impact yet.

Some can afford to trade around (like cars, nothing wrong w/old one. Just want another color) really opportunity to save some bucks off new.

I don't think all that many are up for sale. I looked for months before finding one at AoA, so yeah, they are available, but few and far between. The used Impacts are still darned expensive though. I just paid $1500 for a standard Smooth Twist version built in January 2017, so only a bit over a year old.
Looks like it was never really used. So far, shoots like a dream. Though, if I want to do the Magic "X" upgrade, it'll probably cost $400 for all the bits and bobs to make it work. That'll put it close to the price of a brand new Impact X. But, I'm shooting now, and not waiting.

I don’t think they will loose much value until there is a major change in design. At the moment everything fx have done to improve the gun can be incorporated into the older guns.
Mine was one of the first produced and I have updated it as changes have been made so it is still the same as the newest guns.

I love the competition in the Airgun business. When I bought my first PCP about 4 years ago, my low end choice of guns consisted of a Discovery or Marauder. Since then, the sub-$500 category of guns has exploded.
Now, the sub-$500 guns include: QB Chief, Stormrider, Maximus, Discovery, Gauntlet, Urban, Fortitude, Flash, Flashpup, Puncher, AT44, Mega Marine, and more are all in the sub-$500 range. They are all pretty accurate, and some are regulated. That means the premium rifles really have to deliver something else to be worth the money.
Isn't competition between manufacturers GREAT! All of the high end builders must keep leading, or the low enders will catch up and compete for the high end $$. While I don't believe a Gauntlet will ever throw 100 yards with the same accuracy of an Impact, it's "Good Enough" for hunting and pest control at 30 to 50 yards or further.
Obviously, nicer stocks, better triggers, actions and such will increase price, but all this gives us choice after choice, after choice. I LOVE CHOICES!

Such a popular and accurate gun so I think we are just seeing the increase of these available after being out for a bit. I am selling mine simply because I need the money... Shoots lights out, but I'll be back for another one at some point.

I also love mine, its the orig st barrel and just puts a smile on my face every time i shoot it.Once you find the right combo of settings (adjustments) the accuracy is incredible

Ahhh, the right combination of adjustments. I've just started down that trail. Shot last Saturday for a couple hours. So much to figure out on the high end guns with all the accessories. Even figuring out the bipod and scope took time. Now, down to starting to adjust the gun. Sooo much to learn.
Soooooo much to learn may be a problem, and perhaps, why some Impacts are showing up on the used market. They take time to work with and get the last ounce of accuracy. Even the way I hold this gun is different from my last gun. I can see some people buying more gun than they are willing to learn being a reason to sell.
