Selling Nightforce online advice

[Billman]

I'm looking to sell my Nightforce NXS and just wondering if you guys have any experience selling optics on Gunbroker or Ebay? I understand the mechanics of using both, but can't decide which would reach the most "gun" people and deliver the desired results.

IMHO the fees from eBay when you consider the final value fee plus the PayPal fee end up being too high to list there. Gunbroker doesn't get as much traffic, but things also tend to sell for more than I expect them to, given enough time.

Have you considered defenseauctions.com you might be able to still get in on the free listings for life offer, so it wouldn't hurt to try them even if it doesn't sell.

Try armslist too, my buddy threw his pre ban colt on there and got $300-500 more then I see them selling for, and it only took him 2 days before somebody came with cash.

Try putting it on accurateshooter.com on the 6br forum and put the price you want on it. They don't last long on that site, usually gone in less than a day.

Can you list it on Craig's list?

I bought a NF NXS off of EBay with no problems. Which one are you selling?

 

[Billman]

NXS 5.5-22x56 npr1 reticle, box and all original paperwork. The scope is perfect no issues, marks, dings....

I'll give you 1,000 cash.

I'll give you 1,000 cash.

I appreciate the offer, but that's not going to get it done

I have been amazed at some of the firearm related stuff on craigs list. Just found a Chiappa M4 22 cal conversion. Been looking for a while and there it is, 20 min from home. Never seen on ebay!

+1 on sniper's hide. A nightforce will be gone in a day or two.

I'm more of a lurker on Snipers Hide and do not have sufficient posts to post in the classified section.

How about $500. Do you take Visa?
How many times do you think you have turned the turrets? Round count? What kind of safe is it kept in? Is it temperature controlled? How long has it been exposed to harmful UV rays?

Uh, please wait while I consult my Magic 8 Ball for the answers to your questions.

How about $500? "concentrate and try again"
...turrets? "ask again later"
round count? "reply hazy, try again"
...safe...? "outlook is good"
...temperature controlled? "signs point to yes"
...uv rays? "my sources say no"


Any other questions while I have the Magic 8 Ball out?

9mm vs. 45 perhaps?

 

[Billman]

I get the feeling I should move along with my Nighforce. Perhaps trade it for a nice Tasco, oops I mean "Super Sniper"

 

[capman98]

How about a trade for auto repairs.

Billman, What is your bottom price?
