Anyone who has ever sold anything of value over the internet has faced these low-ball offers. I have always (confidently) thanked the person for their offer but told them I cannot accept. No need to put threats in your ad saying, "no low ball offers entertained!" or "x dollars firm!" That immediately strikes that person's merchandise from my personal consideration.
Yes you have to have a minimum of 10 meaningful post. All that kind of info is in the rules page here on the forum l.
You just need to throw it up on the classifieds at a price with which you are satisfied and see what the market will bear.
Thanks, hopefully I can come up with some meaningful posts since I'm still pretty new at all this!
Just make some post and ask questions about things you want to learn. Lots of helpful folks around here.
Don't watch "Hardcore Pawn," it's owner Les Gold's favorite line, "So, what will you really take for it?"
They all sold except 1 so far, so I appreciate you lurking in my profile to see what I have for sale
Buying pellets from the classifieds is an absolute no go for me. I have several pounds of junk that I bought out of the classifieds trying to help fellow members out. Lesson learned.
Absolutely. Guys act like the buyer came to their house and worked them over for an hour then decided not to buy. That sucks if you ever went through it. But simply typing no should not send a seller into a tail spin or cause someone to go on a rant. If a used gun is priced stupid but I’m interested, I sometimes still inquire about it. Maybe the guy is just trying to hit a home run off some dumb ass but will still take the opportunity to just get rid of it to a fellow member that he can trust. We’re just selling toys. This isn’t Wall Street.
Do a search in the classified ads for previous sales of the item you want to sell to get an idea of what others have sold it for and come up with a price you are willing to sell it for. A used gun is a used gun no matter how many pellets have been through it. If you price it close to retail people will just buy a new one with a warranty instead of a used one.
Then you dont know what they "fixed" that did not work out and put it up for sale to get out from under it .. you buy and find your now stuck dumping more money in it to make it right again. Then a new one starts looking cheap even at full price.lol
Honest seller don't sell guns they have totally hosed, pawning off something they've messed up. I had a guy with guns in wanted, literally an hour from me, absolutely IGNORED my messages, I wanted those guns, now why would that be? I was too close and could come back to haunt him for junk? I'll never know. Bought one gun 3rd hand as it turned out, it was hosed, it's my project gun to get back to standards.
I'm slowly moving towards listing my .20 cal HW98 FS. I'd welcome anyone in the Denver, CO area to come punch some paper and cardboard with it, bring a chronograph, or anything else. It's my first and only springer, and I don't care for the strange recoil and noise.
