If it doesn't fit the topic in any of the other forums, and is firearm-related, put it here!

Post by knockonit »

i'd mentioned a while back was gonna get rid of some doubles and triples of items, finally began the selection process, each item selected has a with draw moment of silence and sadness, but alas, its slowly coming together, its gonna be a lot of shooters, some deals, some not such a great deal, but fair.

warning to the whiners, i don't deliver, may meet if it works my schedule, don't care if you have to drive from globe or tombstone, if you wanna it ya gotta come get it, whine too much and we will make fun of you. hehehe.
cause i can

no reason to set on edge of seat yet, be at least another week, probably a dozen maybe two, lotsa milsurps maybe.

and some other stuff, primers, bullets, some brass maybe, have a gaggle of some which is a slew too much. so its gotta go


thanks
Rj

Remember that Marlin 1894C .357 lever gun I sold 30 years ago, which I have regretted ever since? You got one just like it? :D

Interdasting... I know you got some nice stuff, RJ. I’m not sure I’ll have the funds, but a No4MKII or a Mauser might be nice.,. :)

I’m ready for a purge myself, but I’m thinking I’ll wait for the next election.

I've been purging for 4 years - it takes time to find a buyer who wants your stuff and will give you fair market value... unless you want to just give it all away. These days everyone is looking for a deal so they can flip it... jus say'in.

Good Luck and I hope it goes well... like they promised us. :)

Got to agree with you, Quake_Guy! I don't get out to many events, or shows, to get an educated feed back,... but I have been down sizing for almost a decade now, and your post seems to fit what I have come to believe.

Every year, or so, I got so frustrated I would really drop a price down, and sure as s***, someone would jump on it. So, my guess is, it is, and has been a buyers market, for quite awhile. I guess this is what comes from panic manufacturing during tenuous political times, to match panic buying and hoarding.

All the best to you on you downsizing !!!

I don't mind when guys down size. My girlfriend would prefer that I don't find such ads though. :)

But, you can't expect guys to pay 95% of new for your unwanted stuff. If you want to unload it, expect to get low ball offers, and realize that you are going to take a hit on something you have 5 of.

Hell,... I have seen pieces advertised for more than a quick search revealed as full retail price. In fact, I believe there is one on the board as I write!!!
