    This is true.

    Also, something to consider, unless you absolutely need to sell it, or are trying to finance another gun, the market on ARs is soft as warm butter on a stove top. Am seeing a lot of guys locally who can't just about give rifles away because the market is so glutted with low priced rifles from quality manufacturers. Have been watching the same three Bushmasters getting reposted at about $200+ more than a new Colt for a couple months now.

    That said, if you are posting it for sale, quality pictures showing any marks, points of the rifle that are of interested to a buyer, as well as a detailed, more is much better, list of all parts, mods, ect, if the rifle is not factory are helpful since it tells people more of what they are buying and prevents waste of time emails as well.

    He posted a separate thread about that. I'm sure he'll have enough posts to put it in the EE within the next couple of hours.

    Or not. Post-whoring to get in the EE is not encouraged here.

    I have sold numerous firearms on GunBroker; 99% problem-free.

    That being said, I would prefer to sell on M4C/TOS to avoid fees.

    Roger that & definitely not encouraging it. Just noticed a possible pattern is all.

    Duh...

    The point is that since the buyer can't actually pick up the rifle and handle it, he appreciates as many photos as possible, close ups, of every square inch, inside and out.

    Nobody was suggesting showing the same thing "over and over."

    Quick question about gunbroker. Are the fees they charge to sell exorbitant? I tried making sense of it some time ago but left with my head spinning. I know you can pay more to get a higher billing or get your ad highlighted and such but just wanted to know about basic selling fees that gun broker collects. Thanks!
