    It seems so, but it contradicts the often given suggestion that one should be able to buy something to try and then sell it on EE without losing one's shirt in the deal.

    Thanks for the advice. I added photos to both ads.

    Hmmm, I may be using a different EE than you as I've never considered that to be conventional wisdom in regards to selling used items on the internet....

    Yup.

    I recently sold 5 CZ 9mm / .40 mags. After shipping I keep about $16 per mag. These were new in boxes and I'd been trying to sell them a long time.

    I also sold several Glock 9mm factory mags, only test fired, for $15 each.

    Sure I could get more during a panic, but they take up space and I can buy other mags I want while they're cheap.

    I'll sell cheap if I can buy cheap.

    I figure if I'm serious about selling something I can expect to get 50% of what I paid for it. If it's like new or new in the box I'll ask for more.

    One thing you might want to try is bundling. I've done that a couple times and sold. Basically I put a bunch of like parts, (ex. G3 rifle stuff) in a box. The parts were about $300 if you bought them all retail. One could sell them individually for maybe $200+ if you wanted to make individual ads and wait many months.

    I put it all in a box, asked for $150 and IIRC sold it for $120 and moved on with my life.

    My point is, be prepared to wait for it to sell like you're waiting on an NFA stamp or sell it stupid cheap & move on.

    Thanks for the advice. For what it's worth the T1 mount is/was new in box, and is now sold. Photos, luck, or pity I'm not sure.
