I feel like I come across ads like this at least once a week in the marketplace:

 

 

WTS a few items:

 

1. LNIB* Custom S&W M&P15 Sport-
*only 6,700 (unverifiable) rounds of my own reloads through it.

 

This started as your standard CA compliant AR, but I've added the following:

-Daniel Defense free float handgaurd
-Troy Squid grip inserts x42
-45 degree offset Magpul BUS
-DPMS detachable carry handle/BUIS
-Magpul B.A.D. lever
-Streamlight TLR-1
-NcStar compact Tactical RDS (Just for looks. This rifle is so sweet [3 MOA @ 25 meters, homey!], optics are unnecessary).
-Homemade paracord 4 point sling
-Zombie green cerakote, which I did myself. Twice. (The first coat looked a little drippy).

 

Price: $2,575. NO LOWBALL OFFERS!!
I overpaid for everything, so between the orginal rifle ($950 +tax +NICS) parts, my labor and range fees/ammo used to function test each upgrade, I have at least $2,600 in this build.

 

Trades considered:
-Ed Brown .38 Super 1911 (NIB only, even trade).
-Sig 516 G2 Carbon (NIB only, must add cash).

Lol

That has to be a joke, right?

Exaggerated for comedic value.

 

But some ads are not far off. I saw one recently asking $600 for used gun, plus accessories others may not want. Same gun retails for $450, new, everyday.

 

Seller stated he paid more than $100 over the current new price, so $600 was firm. And you have to take the accessories too.

Ive seen that elsewhere too. On r/gunsforsale, someone wanted to buy 50rds of .32, and like, 100 rounds of 8mm mauser surplus for $40 shipped. Shipping alone would have been almost $20.

Lmao at per sec, and dicks then the drive to the farm lmao

I'm happy my listings were not featured in this Post lol

We all know yours are over-priced so that is a given.

I have an eery feeling you may be referring to my ad. If that's the case I am sorry I offended you with my price.

You sure...

Definitely not you.

 

 

EDIT:

 

I just saw your ad (M9). That's a reasonable price. The guy(s) I'm taking about are way off.

 

Sorry about the confusion.

Ok. That's very reassuring. My listing is the first time I've tried to sell a firearm and just too a guess at depreciation vs. added stuff. I also made sure to have something about offers accepted...

And I think we will see more of these as the marked begins to selttle and more inventory becomes available and more people try to recoup the $$ they overpaid during the panic! 

What?  No call for price??

Worst was after Newtown.

I have to agree, I've found our marketplace to be expensive relatively speaking.  There are definitely some good deals but by and large, it's people asking too much but if people buy.........

 

prices are coming down on everything across the board, no need to overspend

Just as a PSA.. it's gone. It's never coming back. 

For those holding over-priced stuff that they'd like to recoup on, just wait for Hilaria to get elected. 

 

That'll also be a good time to buy stock in firearms manufacturers.

 

 

Don't say I never did nothin for ya.  

Add the words pre-ban and immediately over charge by at least 50%.

I saw that too and know exactly which ad you are referring to.

Well maybe people want what they want and don't really have to sell. If they don't get their price then they don't sell it. No big deal. This is why the old marketplace will never come back.

Call for price gets me every time. WHAT the HELL are you hiding. OHHH high ass prices!

If you don't like their price then don't do business with that person. Pretty simple actually.

I don't take issue with vendor pricing. 

 

And call for price is sometimes a distributor/manufacturer requirement.

Obvs. But I can also poke some fun, without calling out specific individuals.

Jeez. Some people can't take a little ribbing huh.

It's not just here. I was looking for a used generator on Craigslist and there was a guy selling a used Harbor Freight one for $20 more than Harbor Freight!

None of this matters. Like Hillary, I've been dead broke.

People always over value their own stuff. If you don't like it make an offer. If you're not lowballing most people are receptive

The game is easy. Start high then take a lower offer closer to what you actually want. Not complicated. You don't want to play the game by making an offer then you stay out. No whining about it

I try and price things reasonably when selling. A quick check of the bigger sites should give you an indication of an items current value. As others have said, make an offer if you dont like the price.
