Sell your AR you have been holding

[SirBannedAlot]

For all the flaming that has occurred over my posts, I don't know what made that post any different. My original thread began as suggestions to sellers on how to sell their AR and the reasons for it.

Not to embarrass any poster, but let me copy and paste a couple of ads:

1) Item Description: Up for grabs is a barely used factory built PSA Freedom AR-15 with a bunch of upgrades (listed below). Only 100 rounds through it for zeroing and function checking, then cleaned and put away.

2) Item Description: LWRC M6-SPR Piston 5.56 M4/AR-15

*** No Trades ***

Can you guess which one carries a $2000 price tag? Which one is not fully described for a potential buyer. Here is an example of being told of what you're getting:

Item Description: M&P Sport 2
Vg6 Epsilon Muzzle Break
Vg6 CAGE Device
BCM 1/7 Cold Hammer Forged Barrel
BCM Low Profile Gasblock
F4 Defense Handguard
SRC Reliabolt BCG
Lunar Concepts Sling
EoTech 1-6x w/box and docs
EoTech 30mm Mount

Now here is an actual ad:

Item Description: BCM Jack Carbine

All of these descriptive ads were gleaned from ODT. I'm not trying to tell anyone what to buy or not buy. The better you describe what you have and the features, the more likely you are to find a potential buyer. The only criticism I have of the sellers is not saying whether or not a barrel is chrome lined. Except for that last description.

TRANSLATION:

I still don't understand why I keep getting the same result over and over, so let me try the exact same thing again and see if the 7th time is the charm.

Dude, just let it go.

I make money working a full time job, guns are a hobby. The only opportune time for me to sell is if I want something else and I need to balance my gun fund.

 

[JSoko]

think I may list 2 of my PSA Ar 15's for $560 or more and (i have to say it) test the waters

after doing some research here, I've found on good authority that
"PSA was just as good as Colt, BCM, LMT"
and
"PSA stuff is top quality"

good stuff for the description

I may have to re-think my pricing

Not everybody is whining. I'm doing pretty good in PMs. Some people don't want to argue with those of you who think they hold a monopoly on all understanding and those whose hobby is trolling. I'm done - unless I have to defend myself against any more unwarranted attacks / trolls. So, we can all "let it go."

For the record, I wasnt trolling. I was however poking a little fun at the amount of heat you got in other threads. I enjoy reading your perspective on ARs. I have all three you've described. High end customs built from the ground up by reputable smiths, medium grade, and "low" grade. I enjoy shooting my "low" grade AR just as much as my others. Its accurate and reliable, so I dont care about its cheaper price.

So the guy who has to keep prefacing his posts with, "Every time I post the following I get flamed for it"... and then proceeds to post that same thing over and over, and then complain how he keeps getting flamed... that guy is the one accusing others of trolling?

Fascinating... LOL
