Evaluating your rifle on EE

I posted a WTB for a factory T3 buttplate on THE other buy and sell site. I got lowballed with an offer to trade two sets of Warne rings I had listed for his take off T3 buttplate. I politely declined and blocked him toot sweet after he tried to make it sound like he was doing me a favour. <eye roll>


Update on that ...... I got an offer last night for a free T3 butt pad for the price of the postage. There's still a lot of good guys out there. :)

If it wasn't for buying and selling on the EE and Gunpoṣt Id have never been able totry out so many different guns, calibers and optics.

Having said that, buying and selling now seems like a chore and is not anywhere near the mostly pleasant experience it was just a short 3 or 4 years ago.
 
One other thing that happens on the EE is people that keep bumping there adds asking to be removed in there bumps 🤔🙄🤣. It just shows how people don’t give a damn #### about how things should be done so it make life easier for the admins…
 
I’m not saying I’m doing it now, but in the past I’ve promised my wife I would list some to offset new rifles coming home, and as a faithful man I like to be honest and true to her, so I do list a rifle or two. Probably priced too high but what it was worth to me to part with, because I never promised how long it would take to sell, just that I would try. Marriage is a subtle court.
 
Some people don't actually want to sell the things they list, let's not forget that. I also don't get the offense taken with low ball offers, how thin skinned do you have to be to be offended by a low offer? Even if it falls short, the offer often reflects the perceived value to the person offering. Right or wrong.

If you're tight on $ or trying to buy something time-sensitive=potential buyers like that can seem a bit tedious, I get that. I've been schooled myself on items I knew were worth more but the market was soft. I've made mistakes, I've been THAT guy.

As someone else said-I'm getting out of the used buy&sell a bit too, scaling down a bit maybe but more prioritizing. Market isn't what it even was 3-4 years ago (Agree on that too) and most of the fun has been zapped out of it. Buying new more these days, just ordered a charging handle this morning.
