No longer for sale.

Ive never dealt with so many cheap & low balling people in my life.

 

*for further shenanigans see www.armslist.com

 

Interested, what kind of barreled action is this?

 

Welcome to the Carolina's where one can work at minimum wage until retirement age and only wish for a comparable price on their purchases.

 

If you're working that long for minimum wage, you've got issues and shouldn't be on the internet.

 

Shouldn't be on the Internet......what fer?, lol.

 

lol... Is what it is, never going to change. What they have is pure gold and what you have is bottom of the barrel junk. And you can write NO TRADES 10 times in the add and you will still get offers non stop.

 

Did you miss my PM from October telling you I wanted to buy this if it's still available ?

If you decide to re-list, HMU and I'll meet ya in Asheboro again...

 

Ladies and Gents, I'd messaged the OP about a 6 ARC he had listed. I thought he'd re-listed it...

THis was for a 6CM, my bad...

I'll leave the OP to you lot of cheap, minimum-wage-lifetime bastards...

 

Price/value is not set by the seller but by the market/buyer. When something doesn't sell for a long period it simply means the market/buyer values the offering less than the seller. In our case the market has been subdued for quite some time. Another view might be some one who places equal or greater value than the seller may just lack the means to buy for any number of reasons. FWIW

 

Price
value
condition
location

those drive the sell/ buy equation

prices (in general) seem high …to me

lowballers are just that…many classless jerks

good stuff sells quickly at competitive prices and convenient access

have a great day y’all.

 

I couldn't sell a new never fired FN SCAR 308(in the box and mint) with six extra mags NIB for $2500 on here. Ten years ago I had more luck selling here. I guess there are just so many guns out there now and many people have more than they need so really cheap is the only motivator when one already has so many.

 

Supply and demand are contributing factors as well. Most items being sold new today are hot items for say a year but after that supply catches up and the market price falls and so through the lack of demand the prices fall as well. Most gun nuts buy a gun on an impulse knowing they will replace it on the next hot item to hit the market and willingly accept a lesser amount on the sale. Those that don't find frustration in their efforts to recover their investments.

My rule of thumb after years of buying and selling and taking loses on my search for the perfect firearm has me only buying those items that I know I can get my money back on a moments notice. It has certainly dropped my purchases to a small fraction of days long past.

So I guess that means you’re buying GEN three Glock 19’s and cheap AR’s from Palmetto State

 

G45Guy, Exactly the opposite, if one buys one of your mentioned items from any dealer and walks out the door his chances of getting his money back are slim to none. It pays to know your market and pay accordingly. The complaints around this neck of the woods about the lack of sales is easily qualified by the items and their 'needs' established by the general public measured against their purchasing power. No slight against this forum or any of the others that allow no fee classifieds, the market for most sales are not going to happen due to a flooded market.

 

High end items tend to have more serious buyers. Lower tier and budget items tend to attract low ballers, flakers, tire kickers and weirdos. That’s just the way it is.

 

You think this is bad, you’d bang your head against the wall with the number of calls I get for pups at 750$, at least 1/3 the price I sell them for.

side note, if you advertised it as the new design 243 it would have sold. I would love to have a 6 creed, but you know me, I’d just get a barrel blank and spin it up for one of my guns.

 

There should be a ongoing thread specifically for flakers and ghosters. A thread specifically for those that calls dibs on an item and then disappear wasting both site resources and members time.

 

First thing I’d do to make the sales section better…put your location at the front of the ad. Be clear if and if so, how far/time wise you’d travel to complete the sale. Some folks do. Others not so much.

Address the shipping Question. Will you ship? What will you charge?

For folks at or near the likely boundary of the forum, it makes a difference. With gas prices still relatively high, it makes sense to let your potential buyers know.

Pictures aren’t required but might should be. Consider that you want someone to buy something (likely used) and ask them to go sight unseen or you suggest you’ll text pictures. Put in a little effort as the seller.

Put in your best price. The first time. Or not. Some prices are as much as the very same item, new stuff.
personally, I’m a buyer in a forum. Too many shit birds who act poorly and my patience and BP don’t tolerate same. I’d rather give something away (and have) than sell to a knucklehead. YMMV

i appreciate the marketplace here. It’s a great way for the community to buy, sell, barter, or just meet and greet.

 

I like this forum. Bought and sold a good bit here.

Few things about cheepskates:

1) An offer is an offer. Decline or ignore it if it is too low. Always though, be polite, even if irritated. I always ask for offers, but say I may politely decline and have done so many, many times.

2) There is a market dictated by not what one pays for something, but rather by what someone is willing to pay. Used plastic guns are often listed here for greater than retail price on a new one. Ain't happening. I can buy a Gen3 G19 at Aim Surplus for under $300. Why would I pay $500 on this forum even if the poster paid $599 at his LGS?

3) If your gun isn't an investment piece, you'll take a loss most of the time. Think about that when you buy it. I have a safe full of AR's, many bought/built when Barry the Coke-head was President. Worth twice or more then than now. $2000 AR now worth $500 - just the way the market is. Sucks, of course, but I can't get mad when someone won't pay me what it cost to build when everything was inflated. Sell or keep, but don't get mad. A Smith with a lock will always depreciate; a P&R Smith without a lock will appreciate. Know your guns.

4) Low-ballers are part and parcel of sales. Guns, cars, building materials, you name it. My best guess is that the OP would gladly buy a gun for 1/2 of its worth....wouldn't feel guilty, just feel happy he got a good deal. Everyone is human in that regard.

Lastly, don't buy on impulse. Think carefully about how much you like the weapon, how long you might keep it, and what it might sell for when you get tired of it.

I always remember something my father taught us growing up: Always be decent until someone gives you a good reason not to be, and then you should probably be decent anyway.
