I have an old Mossberg 353 22lr rife. I need to make some room for other things and are looking to sell it. The rifle has some work done to it by myself trying to address a feeding issue, but I've never gotten it 100%. My question is has anyone ever sold anything that has needed work? Is there a certain way to list such a sale in the marketplace? How do you know what it's worth to list without knowing what needs to be done to it, etc. I haven't sold much yet, so I'm unsure as to what would be expected given the circumstances.

Full disclosure (in the description), estimate a number you think is fair considering the work needed and list it. Add OBO to the price and see what happens.

That's kinda along the lines of what I was figuring, works with anything else I've sold but never tried it with a firearm.

The terms "gunsmith special" generally identify issues to most buyers.

half my guns were "gunsmith specials".  I've bought a few from gun shows that were missing parts or had bad furniture. I've asked for "project guns" at gun shops and found a few.  I've "inherited" a few others that needed work.  I've gotten most to function.  A few I pieced out for parts on ebay and at least got most of my cost back.

 

Don't expect too much for this.  Gunsmith specials are usually pretty cheap.  I've paid less than $50 for several and I don't think I've ever paid over $100 for a project gun.
