Shitpost / Memes Where do people unload their stuff

Where abouts do people unload their stuff that they no longer need or want I've tried gunpost and I've recently tried Townpost but I don't seem to have much luck with getting rid of this tacticool 12ga.

If you're not getting any bites on CGN or GunPost you're probably asking too much.

Good rule of thumb for pricing something is 75% of retail if it's in perfect condition. Less if it's not.

Any upgrades are essentially worthless for adding value because most people won't care.

Optics should be sold separately.
