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.

Ya that sounds like you are asking too much. And if it’s a Benelli M4 or something else expensive, it will have to be a decent discount for me to want to risk not buying brand new.

I actually did the math and I'm under the 75% one other suggested, but to each their own like I said I've had quite a few messages about it, 50% said they just wanted the parts, 25% were trying to up trade themselves and 25%just didn't have anything I was really too interested in. Which whatever we all try to upgrade as cheaply as possible and I 100% don't have any issues I would always be polite. Part of me feels like there are so many cheaper clones out there that they kind of flood the market but oh well she'll stay in the safe and every once in a while I'll check a few slugs through er or shoot some water bottles with the younger cousins lol

What gun is it and how much are you charging?

It's a 590 tactical with magpull furniture(and the original) with a red dot on it. I have it up for 950 expecting people to haggle. (Local sale would get all the shells) All in New I think it's right around 1300.

Sell everything separately. You will get more buyers and make more money. If you ship I might even buy the red dot

Ya when I can buy my tactical 590R with a pistol grip brand new for $1150-1200 shipped brand new, I’m probably not gonna buy a used one with magpul stock for $950. The magpul stock is only worth around $180. Like I said, the mossberg 590 A1 and add a magpul stock will be about $1000 shipped right now. And it will look 99% the same as yours and it’s brand new.

Hate to say it but you gotta drop that price brother. Good like selling your gun my friend.

Or just keep it. In the world we live in today, you should be buying more guns, not selling them 😁

a 590 tactical with magpull furniture

590s are overpriced to begin with and packing in the Magpul furniture makes that value proposition even worse.

The reason you have a bunch of people trying to get the furniture separately is because they already have a 590 (or 500) from back before better guns existed. Because right now, your used tactical 590 at $950 is competing against a new Supernova at $900, or a Nova 3 at $800, and those are better guns than your 590 is.

I think you could get what you're asking if you sold everything separately because of this: your 590 will now favorably compete with the Nova on price (so it'll sell to someone who won't buy a plastic spaghetti gun on principle), and the Magpul furniture can go to someone who wants to upgrade their old gun (for the same reasons you did).
