My stuff won't sell

[1168]

I suspect things will sell more next year, election year. Or if there's some sort of mass shooting (God forbid).

Also, the EE here isn't all that user friendly - it's hard to find your own listings, so it's hard to bump them occasionally. I know I have things buried past 20 pages in that I'll probably never find again.

I appreciate all the comments.

Both items should be priced at $25 shipped at this point or taken off the market. The market has spoken and your price is too high for two items that are not that desirable.

I think part of it is that many consumers (not necessarily here) are driven by whatever is perceived as cool. If you had clone parts they would get snatched up quick. Try arf com , lots of viewers there. If you don't mind dealing with even lower IQ individuals, try reddit. They have a gun parts sale sub. Prepare yourself for imbeciles.

Once upon a time, users put actual pictures of their items on their ads. I can’t tell you how many I’ve seen lately that don’t have any pics. I shouldn’t have to ask for one. Are they just too lazy or something else?

I hate to say it, but this. The EE there gets waaaaayyyyyy more traffic than here.

Despite Meta's anti-gunning, there's still a fair amount of B/S/T that goes on in gun groups on FB. It's significantly easier to post pictures and make a quick ad on your phone than it is to use the forum UI, even when you use Tapatalk or something similar. Lots of secondhand sales have migrated there.

Also I think that the gun industry is running on a decade of evolution. Products gets upgraded and innovated much quicker than they used to (my impression). A lot of people are less interested in used than they were even a few short years ago; not when the new hotness will be hitting the web soon.

I feel your pain, I've had some things listed for a long time as well. Gotten some traffic, but no offers at prices that I am eager to move on. I still browse the EE though, as I feel like there are higher quality options from other enthusiasts more so than other secondhand options. Good luck.

It seems so, but it contradicts the often given suggestion that one should be able to buy something to try and then sell it on EE without losing one's shirt in the deal.

Thanks for the advice. I added photos to both ads.

Hmmm, I may be using a different EE than you as I've never considered that to be conventional wisdom in regards to selling used items on the internet....
