Check prices before selling

[billybob_jcv]

357 lever guns are hot items because of the popularity of cowboy action shooting. The Rossi is really the only reasonably priced, CAS-legal lever gun on the market. All the others are $1000+. In addition, for whatever reason, there doesn't seem to be many places with the 357 lever guns in stock. There are zillions of 30-30 Rossi, Marlin & Winchester - every Turners and Big 5 has a 30-30.

I'm not trying to defend the prices - I'm just not surprised that someone is trying to get a high price for their Rossi 357 lever gun. It drives me crazy to see a nice Marlin 336 in 30-30 selling new for less than a used Rossi in 357.

So... what would you pay for an M1 Garand?

Let's assume that you don't qualify to get one through CMP.

Go qualify and buy one through the CMP. <-- correct answer for all US citizens

Come back and make this post after selling your first gun on the forum and see the lowball offers you get. No one is expecting to get what they list most of the time but it weeds out those who try to waste your time.

I sold a number of guns last year and by pricing them fairly from the beginning I got lots of interest and no low-balls.

I think the only firearms I made any kind of profit off was my two Sp-01's that I sold for $800.

Beyond that, I think I've probably lost money on most of my sales just because I don't feel like bumping a thread every day and want the item sold so I can move on to the next item I want.

Sold a PPQ for $600ish. My custom glock from glockworx for $500. An SR9 for under $400. A BEAUTIFUL Sig 1911 railed for a little under $700.

Meh, the only deal I regret was selling my SCAR 16s for 2k. Had I waited a couple months, I probably could have pulled closer to 3k for it.

Do kinda wish I had my VEPR in 762x54R back but I am happy with my OPAP.

You can price what you own at whatever crazy price you wish! Don't mean its gonna sale! I'm with you OP I laugh at so many ads, crazy high numbers some even higher than new, but then you see 2 or 3 pages of daily bumps and "final drop" posts..

I guess that first Rossi 92 has $250 worth of leather stuff on it.
