There was a used one at Epps for 2000$ and it shows sold on there web page. And that's retail store pricing on a used firearm.
Don't you find it strange that not 1 person made an offer though? My price is $200 more which includes shipping and has no taxes on top so not a huge difference really. That's $2100 after Alberta's tax plus $30+ for shipping, I'm in that ballpark and negotiable.
Lets say I would buy it.
I would have to spend $150 to get rid of that ugly F93 stock
People would rather buy original than modified, even though it's just a stock.
Don't forget, $2200 is alot a change. People are getting picky when it comes to black rifles.
Unless its DD or Knights. They tend to sit awhile

So you wouldn't PM the guy and say hey bud, would you sell it without the buttstock? I had that very option posted and a $200 price drop without it and still no interest so that's not the issue. I just cant explain it man lol.

Honestly in my opinion there seems to be a lot of uncertainties with people these days surrounding black rifles. A lot of them seem to sit in the EE for a long time now. People aren't jumping on them like they use too. Look at the XCR-M going for 2200$. That's 800$ less than what the dude would of had to pay including taxes. This may kinda explain the reason why you haven't even had an offer.
I wouldn't mind having an XCR-L to go along with my XCR-M but I'm not gonna buy used unless it was a good deal. And yes your stock is ugly as sin and I'd have to spend a good chunk to put a Proper stock back on it.

Yes, you're asking too much. Basically, you're giving a 15% discount over a new rifle, if you don't consider the stock. For $150 more you can buy a brand new rifle with a FAST stock.
If a used gun isn't, at a bare minimum, discounted 25%, I won't even look at it. For that little difference, I'll buy new.

I can understand the uncertainty but the option was clearly posted to ditch the F93 for a $200 savings. Theyre $180 new plus your taxes and shipping, $200 buys a good buffer tube, castle nut and buttstock and you could offer even less if you want to. Like I said, its all negotiable so I'm kind of confused why guys aren't throwing numbers at me to see what I say. I make offers on guns minus a few parts and have made quite a few deals that way so I'm completely open to it when guys make such offers. But anyways, It's stripped to bare bones now and I'll try that. Maybe its just bad timing.

You're asking too much for a used modified gun Sir.

Here's the problem with buying it without a stock, a dudes gotta spend 250$ plus tax and shipping to put a stock back on it. So realistically, I can't see someone being willing to pay more than 1400$ shipped for it without the stock.
Like Stevo stated, if its not at least 25% of a discount why bother? When you're prepared to drop that much coin on a rifle, why bother to save yourself a couple of hundred dollars when the history of the gun is unknown. I know your feedback score is perfect, and I have no reason to believe that the firearm has been misused or not cared for properly. But for an extra couple hundred dollars as potential buyer I would much rather buy new.
FAST is gone, from the beginning I had plenty of options to remove items and adjust price. I left a clear note saying to PM me if there are items you don't want to buy and we will omit them and lower the price. I was offering a $200 price drop for the F93 and $50 for the ERGO grip, selling the scope separate and open to offers. I fully understand how hard it can be to sell a modded gun which is why I made it very clear that I'm willing to remove unwanted items. Its stripped right down now so hopefully I'll get some bites. I think it might be bad timing as usually I get various offers on everything I put up no matter how modded it may be. Like I said, I make frequent offers with certain omissions of parts I don't want and usually the seller is willing to work out a deal, sometimes not. I'm very open to that kind of dealing and rarely turn down offers like that unless theyre really lowball.
I know that, but in the past Ive always gotten offers and I'm almost always open to offers. Very much so in this case. I simply ask a little more than I think its worth and let a guy deal me down to something that's fair for both of us. Most people make offers on used items regardless of price so it keeps me from taking a huge loss while not ripping people off. The reason I posted this was to kind of find out why no one has made an offer, it seems strange to me given so many past deals even when my prices were too high. In this case the price was too high which is ok, but usually I'll get offers. Know what I mean? I'm not #####ing or complaining, I'm genuinely confused as to the zero interest.
Fast stock looks good. The stock it comes with doesn't. It would cost the difference you save over new to put it back to stock. So now you have a used gun at pretty much new gun prices. Sorry but I would hit the back button and keep looking. Frankly used carries a lot of risk. Does it not shoot? Is there something I don't know coming around the corner such as everyone losing interest in their Swiss Arms due to new projects or interest? If there is something wrong am I covered by the warranty? Who do I take it to if there are any problems? Will I find out later it's a grey market and not covered? Etc etc. It's a risk and I guess most don't consider the price worth the risk.
You may wish to consider changing it back over yourself to the fast stock and giving it a try.

Totally agree with the 25% discounted on MSRP not MSRP + TAX, otherwise whats the point, 5% or 10% I'll buy new, use my credit card even and get miles! No risks, even get a warranty!
Lol... good luck ever buying a used gun. Thats 50% off. They sell for about 2-2200 used in good condition. I would say you would probably get about 18-1900 for it, maybe 2000$ if someone wants THAT stock on it.
