I constantly browse the marketplace forums for firearms that are up for sale and can't help but notice, many of these items have been for sale for over a month; some with inquiries and some without. I wanted to give some advice to future sellers or current sellers.
When selling any item, it all comes down to price. If you had an item listed for sale and you "bump" it everyday for a month and still haven't sold, you maybe overpriced.
After a few weeks or months of "bump"ing and there has been no interest or inquiries, you are over priced.
After just a few days or weeks, if there is a ton of inquiries and interest yet you haven't sold, you are over priced.
If it was priced right, it would sell!!! This goes for everything: houses, cars, guns, you name it...
It always comes down to price. We all have to be realistic with ourselves and accept the fact that sometimes even though a product is worth a certain amount doesn't mean it can sell for that amount and vice versa.
I have spoken to some calgunners who actually sold some things after a few months of "bump"ing. They sold for a fraction of the price they originally wanted. When speaking with them, they all agreed that if they listed it for the amount they sold it for from the beginning, they would have sold it a long time ago. And not wasted anytime.
We all sell things for a reason: funding a new project, making room in our safe for new toys, or just plain needing the money. Either way, there is no use in wasting much time.
So next time you sell an item.... Really ask yourself this question... What is it realistically worth in the open market and am I willing to let it go for that price. Of yes, then list it for that price and quit wasting time. It will save you a lot of time,energy, and efforts.
