Price for a used TM-22

[u/ssgfrmrswrp]

What is a good price to sell a TM22 aluminum with 18" barrel. Should I sell my red dot with it or seperate? Also any recommendations of what site to list on? And tips for someones first time selling a firearm?

Prices have come down a bit with the new Pro models coming in cheaper vs the last batches of the 18" models. I assume you're referring to the polymer.

Hard to know about the red dot without knowing what brand and model. I've thrown in some cheap Chinese red dots with guns a few times for free because I didn't need them, but if it's a quality red dot I'd say keep it or sell it separately.

Fair price in my opinion nowadays on a used aluminum 18" TM22 would be around $400-$450, since you can pickup a new 16" Pro model for $500-$550, although prices do seem to be creeping up. The I believe the black 16" models were going for $499 new when they first showed up, with other colours about $50 more.

Feather models usually go for around $350 used at stores, so I'd say about $300 for the polymer feather models.

Thank you for your well though out response. My gun is a full aluminum tm22 18" not polymer the one, its very lightly used, and my sight is a vortext crossfire red dot. Im thinking based on what you said to list the rifle at $500 aiming to sell for ~450 and then the sight seperately.

I'd say sell the Vortex crossfire separately or keep it for another rifle. If you wanna sell it as a bundle you could list it with it and offer a price for the optic and rifle or bare rifle. I think with the optic you could maybe get $600, but a lot of guys, like myself, have spare optics around and already have ideas for what to mount when they buy a rifle. 

Good luck, hope the sale works out. The colour might also effect the price a bit as some colours seem to fetch slightly more vs others. I personally like just plain black or FDE, or ODG, but the blue ones look pretty cool too. The black models tend

How come you wanna sell the rifle? Just not getting much use? I've owned 3, sold the first 2 and just bought a 16" Pro again when they first came in, and have fallen back in love with the rifles

Post it on Gunpost.ca

And it depends on how many marks/scuffs it has, and if you took care of it. Put in the listing that you have the red dot, and show it in the pic

Waiting for his post so I can offer him a fair price of $50. $75 firm if he includes the scope! 🤣

[u/ssgfrmrswrp → u/I-Argue-With-Myself]

Haha do people really lowball that hard on there?

[u/Infinite-Bill1072 → u/ssgfrmrswrp]

Nah I've sold a bit there, you'll get the occasional guy ask for free shipping, or some people asking if you can hold it till they get their PAL

But nothing too major

[u/I-Argue-With-Myself → u/ssgfrmrswrp]

I'm exaggerating, but you get the odd duck like that lol

[u/ssgfrmrswrp → u/I-Argue-With-Myself]

Im guessing its like facebook marketplace

[u/Infinite-Bill1072 → u/ssgfrmrswrp]

Better, because the only people on that site are trusted members of society (because of the copious amount of hoop sthey had to jump through to even be able to get a PAL) so you'll get the respect you deserve there

Thank you, is there a reason to go with gunpost instead of town post?

[u/MixSpecific4630 → u/ssgfrmrswrp]

Townpost is good if it’s local. Way too many scammers on there. GP is slightly better but still gotta be careful

[u/ssgfrmrswrp → u/MixSpecific4630]

Thank you, Ill use gunpost. Are there any specific scams I should look out for or just not be stupid?

Ie. check their pal, get payment upfront through e transfer, no weird links.

[u/ssgfrmrswrp → u/[deleted]]

I appreciate the heads up, I'll sell it before then.

[u/ssgfrmrswrp → u/[deleted]]

I personally just don't find it that fun, I thought it would be cool having a semi auto .22 since cheap sks ammo is harder to find now, but its just not that fun for me mag dumping .22 lr in semi auto, I prefer a bolt .22.

[u/ssgfrmrswrp → u/[deleted]]

Yeah its just no real feedback, its quiet and recoil free. I can see the appeal if you want to cope with AR15s being banned or just want something cheap to shoot a lot, but the tm22 isnt for me.

[u/Strong-Owl-55 → u/ssgfrmrswrp]

Just waiting for that gunpost link so I can give you a fair offer

[u/PomegranateAncient25]

Cheap brand new. You probably won’t get much for it.
