TrapFiller Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Just needs to be the right price and a person who willing to buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibs Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) People overprice guns all the time. If you are realistic then it will sell easily and ive sold a few on here but always priced them as a "private sale" under what it would be used in a dealer.

Thunderbird Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I've only ever used Gunwatch to sell the couple that I've sold, both sold within a few days. Priced right and with a coherent description, photos etc it should sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun4860 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Yes they do sell As said, price them for what they are worth, not what you "think" they are worth check prices on guntrader and price yours accordingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muddy Funker Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I've said it before on here people in the sales section and on gunwatch price their guns ridiculously high. Often for £20 - £30 more you could buy the same gun new. It's laughable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? not seen it myself, well priced guns with good advertts go quickly, I am amazed at how poor the adverts are from some.... For sale Gun, Money.............. If people can't be bothered to take some photos, write a good description and do some research they only have themselves to blame when the item doesn't sell.

HDAV Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) It was bought for her ive got no real interest in it sadly Out of interest why did you buy her a 12 gauge pump? They are ungainly & kick like a mule on speed......not a lady friendly gun at all. Are you going to get her another gun? Or just take the hit on the SXP and leave it at that. Key to a good advert is good photos, good detail (don't assume people know what an SXP is or or going to bother looking it up) and keen price, oh and if accepting RFD transfer know the costs your end.

I wanted to get her a cheap gun thats hers and to honest it doesnt kick that bad she just doesnt like the side ejection as a couple of shells hit the stand and back onto her head and you know what women are like lol She will just go back to using one of mine as and when she comes shooting J And don't forget Pump Club Technically im not allowed to be a member as im selling it hahaha J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 NIce work on the advert! Good description and photos! Looking at the list of what you own I'm not surprised! My missus has expensive tastes too last gun she shot and liked was B2 Game gun................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Put a couple on GunWatch as it was free everyone said your overpriced and made stupid offeres I then put them on guntrader. 1 sold for asking price within 6 hour the other 3 days later again at the asking price!!

Thunderbird Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Some sell and some don't, Gunwatch is always going to be more open to 'opinions' because all ads appear on the PW forum too. I suppose one can always ask for a refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just guns, I was after another item on PW recently and the seller wants more than the new price, I was tempted, in fact offered a good price until I done a little research and because seller held off for a few days, I bought elsewhere.

gemini52 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I have had three guns on here,sold one within a week,the last one was a parker hale 800 trap gun made in the winchester factory in Japan,a really nice well made gun,i feel i priced it fairly,i was fed up with time wasters and dreamers offering peanuts,in the end i sold it to a dealer,in my opinion people on here want guns for buttons i well not bother with gunwatch again its not worth the time or effort.And by the way the other gun did not sell that went to a dealer to.

b16jus Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Im not sure how much guntrader charge but surly gunwatch has got to be worth trying for free ? you will prob have idiots everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grimey121uk Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Nice looking gun, if only you where closer and I'd manage to sell the Hatsan, I could do with a pump for clays as a handicap not because I'm good but at least I could blame it on the gun;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delburt0 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I have just offered 850 for a gun advertised for 1150 mk38 there is the same gun further a field for 850 so to me if there in the same condition I'd rather go for the cheaper price guntrader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
