Gun sale etiquette.
After buying, selling, and collecting firearms for many years, I thought I would offer some free etiquette tips regarding selling used firearms on our hosts site. Believe me, some of you need it. Here are your free tips.
#1. Your pump shotgun that sells new at academy sports for 300.00 probably wont sell here for 475.00 no matter how many times you re-list it.
#2. Just because you have a Browning A-5 or Winchester Model 12 shotgun, does not automatically qualify it as 'collector grade' nor are you 'giving it away' at 675.00 or more. Please consult a knowledgable person or publication before listing prices on any gun.
#3. No one is probably going to trade you a boat or a four wheeler or a deer lease for your 150.00 dollar pistol or shotgun(unless they are really, really, dumb).
#4. Whenever possible, post a picture of a gun and do not rely on descriptions only. It is impossible for a collector or buyer to determine the condition of a gun by your laymens description.
#4. Update your ad if you sold the gun within the last decade.
#5. No matter how many sportsmans guide or gun show accessories you have on your SKS, it will never be worth more than 300.00 (TOPS)!!
#6. If you want to 'ofur yur gun far sell', then please know how to spell better than a 2nd grade student. Some of the ads here look like they were written by a retarded kindergarten student.
#7. We appreciate you listing your used cell phone for sale here, but we would prefer to see what guns you have for sale. (No! We don't want to trade you a gun for your used cell phone).
#8. U.A.T.M.P.A.F.W.- This means use abbreviations that most people are familiar with. This is not guns for sale by txt message.
#9. If you buy an 899.00 ar-15 rifle and ad 2,000.00 in accessories to it, it does not make it a 2,899.00 rifle even though you think it does or throw in the extra cleaning brush with it.
#10. Stop listing in your descriptions that your 100.00 crack barrel rifle with tasco scope will shoot 10 rounds into 1 hole at 600 yards. (We are all aware that if it did, you probably wouldn't be selling it so cheap..or at all.
#11. To all of you who are doing it honestly and correctly...Thank you for making this a great sight to visit and purchase a used gun at a fair price. Enjoy your free advice.
Ole boy does have a few good points specially when it comes to the "Tacti Cool SKS for $600" that thing has been listed for at least 8 months.
That guy deserves an invite to BS!
