Thinking about selling my M1A Socom, it came with the green stock from the factory and I've got about 90 rounds through it, i just don't know what kind of price i should ask for it though, i don't have any pictures of it right now but its in good condition just minimal wear and tear from taking it bear hunting so if anyone could offer a price range these usually go for it would be helpful, thanks

go to gunbroker and see what they're selling for in your area.


Any accessories?

Why are you selling it?

Depends on how much you need the $. You can put it in GB at slightly under what Bud's sells it for and wait - don't forget to figure in shipping and transfer costs. You can always reduce the price but you cannot raise it.

If you want a quick sale and don't care, I saw a guy sell his for $1100 walking around the gun show - it sold in a few minutes. My buddy was kicking himself because he hesitated dispite me telling it was a steal and someone else immediately handed over the cash when he turned away.

It is all in the price.

Personally, I like selling guns on local forums FTF. I would rather sell it a bit cheaper and not have the hassle of shipping and FFL BS.

A couple months ago I bought a SOCOM 16 with very little use on it and several mags for about $1,100. This was at a small gunshop about an hour out of the Twin Cities metro area. Haven't had anyone locally tell me I overpaid: some don't seem impressed, others feel it was a screaming deal. YMMV, etc.

Put me in the "you got a screaming deal" column. Good job!
