My stuff won't sell

[nate89]

I think you are just in a bad market for sellers. If you look online there are plenty of rebates, discounts, and blowout prices for both cheaper and higher end stuff. Trijicon has a $100 rebate on RMRs, grab a gun was selling 226/229 legions for well under $1000, I've seen S&W snubs back down to $425. Everyone selling AR barrels seem to be constantly having sales. It's just a buyers market right now, and that's hard to compete with. For example, a buddy of mine is trying to sell a brand new RMR for $350, but by the time you get the sale price online for a new one, then take of the $100 rebate, he's selling for more than a new one.

Most people had rather just buy new instead of dealing with the hassle for things less than 100 bucks unless dirt cheap.

I suspect things will sell more next year, election year. Or if there's some sort of mass shooting (God forbid).

Also, the EE here isn't all that user friendly - it's hard to find your own listings, so it's hard to bump them occasionally. I know I have things buried past 20 pages in that I'll probably never find again.

I appreciate all the comments.

Both items should be priced at $25 shipped at this point or taken off the market. The market has spoken and your price is too high for two items that are not that desirable.

I think part of it is that many consumers (not necessarily here) are driven by whatever is perceived as cool. If you had clone parts they would get snatched up quick. Try arf com , lots of viewers there. If you don't mind dealing with even lower IQ individuals, try reddit. They have a gun parts sale sub. Prepare yourself for imbeciles.

I hate to say it, but this. The EE there gets waaaaayyyyyy more traffic than here.

Despite Meta's anti-gunning, there's still a fair amount of B/S/T that goes on in gun groups on FB. It's significantly easier to post pictures and make a quick ad on your phone than it is to use the forum UI, even when you use Tapatalk or something similar. Lots of secondhand sales have migrated there.

Also I think that the gun industry is running on a decade of evolution. Products gets upgraded and innovated much quicker than they used to (my impression). A lot of people are less interested in used than they were even a few short years ago; not when the new hotness will be hitting the web soon.

I feel your pain, I've had some things listed for a long time as well. Gotten some traffic, but no offers at prices that I am eager to move on. I still browse the EE though, as I feel like there are higher quality options from other enthusiasts more so than other secondhand options. Good luck.

Yea, no kidding, LOL I listed my Arken scope, and it lasted maybe an hour!! lol, Do the extra work it may pay off!

Once upon a time, users put actual pictures of their items on their ads. I can’t tell you how many I’ve seen lately that don’t have any pics. I shouldn’t have to ask for one. Are they just too lazy or something else?
