gunslingerdoc Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Been out of the game for about 20years and I have too much stuff but it’s cool. I still have 3 for $70 sten kits and wth on sten and G3 mags!!! Anyway I’m going to sell or trade most of it off enjoy what I keep and piss away the $ because 1 out 4 kids have become or married non republican fools. Where can I say, “I have xxx and I need a reasonable price.”? I’m an ffl07-sot so I know I need to get a paying membership…not an issue. I just recall from other boards back in the days of $800 macs those types of posts where view negatively in most forums…yes I’ve checked some other boards and auction prices but see prices vary by 50-70% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 List exactly what you have to sell (pics help) and it will be a lot easier to assist with pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunslingerdoc Posted February 18 Author Report Share Posted February 18 Im trying to avoid posting pics, or being very specific to keep from this being a subtle ad. Right now I’m just looking for sources that I can use to price items so far I’m basically stuck with machine gun prices.com. Any other sources you guys are aware of? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 You can use Apex parts as a source for pricing for a lot of stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPinFL Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 I use Gunstroker sold listings. Very up to date info. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunslingerdoc Posted February 20 Author Report Share Posted February 20 Thanks guys. Was gunna try gb but their new rules and having to use their version of PayPal just kind of rubbed me the wrong way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPinFL Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 I would never put anything on GB, but use them all the time to establish current values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will give you a good reference point for values. You don't have to list your stuff there just to check for value. It would be more beneficial to you to just list your stuff on the appropriate "WTS" board here after you find prices rather than list on GB. Much easier and less of a hassle.

Side Arm Sams Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 A tremendous amount of exposure on GB. I believe they get around 6M hits a month. YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Lots of exposure comes with lots of $$ lost in fees as well. Maybe it will balance out in the end, maybe not. I'm of the opinion that if you have an item and price it reasonably, it will sell itself. If you need to maximize your exposure and give your item the "white glove, grey blanket" treatment, then you're asking too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunslingerdoc Posted March 6 Author Report Share Posted March 6 Gb is a PIta to sign up with as a dealer. With today’s tech, it should never take more than 10 minutes to upload your FFL and Sot, bank info, and get verified and fax. It really takes less time than that on several other online auction sites that I routinely buy from. another thing they want to run the entire transaction through them. I’ve been doing this for years. I’ve got some really cool guns, jewelry, coins mule, and a hunt. all of which is basically impossible now. I think it’s great they want to have their own finance system. But it shouldn’t be mandatory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeRanger Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 You can end-run GB's garbage fees by posting a picture with your letterhead or business card etc. along with all the gun pix. People will contact you directly to ask what you really will sell it for. Be prepared to offer them a significant reduction. That's how I got my Lanchester for $1K less than the seller's asking price on GB, basically he sold it for what he would have gotten at his ask minus their fees.

Ryo Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 GB only cares about money. Talked with an partner of the company by accident and total ass to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNBUGS Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 GB has been very good to me. No real problems, lots of sales, (in excess of 1200). Their sales fees these days are right at 5%. As I primarily sell consignments, it works well for what I do. In the end, businesses are there to make money. There is always the 1 or 2% of your customers that will never be happy no matter what you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful using PayPal for "gun-related" anything. I was banished for life from PP for such an evil deed, and they kept $400.00 that was in my account. I protested and they said "read our agreement" Which states any violation of their policy results in such action. None of my transactions said anything about guns, I was told that they regularly scan gun-selling sites for the word PayPal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
