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.

used prices went nuts during covid and never went back down like most in-store prices did. so many people think their shotgun that is $900 new should sell for $850 firm. or people selling ammo for calibers you cant really shoot right now for retail price "bUt yoU sAve tHe tAX"

pre covid i was regularly getting guns 40-50% lower then retail price. especially if you made a wanted ad asking for X gun in Y price range. this was before wanted ads just attracted nothing but scammers.

Kinda. You see the insane ones because they don't sell. Properly priced stuff does sell quick.

partly why i bother with gunpost less and less. you are constantly fighting against retired fudds who can drive 2 hours away and drop 2k on a rifle on a moments notice on a tuesday afternoon. for us that work its hard to find a good deal where the person is willing to wait until saturday or something to sell to you.
