I have been trying to sell my LWRC SPR, but am having problems getting buyers. How much should I be pricing this at? I put it on Armslist and GA Outdoor trader.

Here is what I have put in both listings:

http://www.armslist.com/posts/4748371/atlanta-georgia-rifles-for-sale--lwrc-m6a2-spr

What would you all suggest that I include in my listing to try to get this sold? Do people usually go for extra magazines at higher priced items? Is this price a reasonable price?

Is only 1 FFL from the buyers location required when shipping it across state lines, or do  I also need to get an FFL to ship it?

This is my first time selling a gun online.

I hope I can get some tips from experienced sellers.

Thanks for you help!

Just a bad time to sell one.  Really nice rifle but the T-1 sale made newer ICs relatively cheap for a minute.

Those on the fence finally bought one.  And then there's the glut from those who then wanted to ditch the one they had for a newer IC, an A5, etc.

Have to drop your price but honestly it's just not the best time.  If you can, it'd be best just to sit on it for awhile.

Private sellers: sender does not need a FFL, only the shipping destination does.

That price is fair, since you threw in a LMT SOPMOD, but most people aren't buying high dollar AR's at this time. If you want a quick sale, then lowering it is probably your only choice.

OP, you mention barely fired.  If you have an approximate round count, I'd list that.  As others have said, you may want to hold on until the market becomes more of a sellers market or lower the price.

Elections are around the corner and Hillary is already talking about plenty of bad things... If youre not hurting for money, hang on to it for a while, or at least until the T1 promotion is done like others have said.

Promo ended 8/31 but yes election season is here and (unfortunately) that will eventually help support OP's value.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I had no idea that LWRC had a promotion going on for Aimpoint T-1s. I supposed I will just add the approximate round count, and keep relisting it until someone wants to pay the amount I am asking. I wish that it didn't have to wait for the election to go up, as I am looking for a Scar 16s, and a rising tide lifts all boats...decisions decisions

I own both the LWRC M6A2 SPR and a SCAR 16S. IMO the LWRC SPR is a much better and much more accurate carbine than my SCAR 16S. i've tried numerous powder of different weights SMK's, Hornady match hpbt and amax's and the 16S can't come close to the accuracy of the LWRC SPR even with the Geissele Super SCAR installed to replace the horrible stock trigger on the 16S. The only thing the 16S has going for it is its lighter weight.

I think your listed price is very fair. I'd wait to sell it. Better yet keep the LWRC SPR and forget the 16S,

I usually buy at a fair price and see I should get a good resale if I decide to get rid of, but at about that time everyone is paying bottom dollar and I'm stuck.  I have two LWRC's I should get up for sale but just never get around to it as I'll end up letting them go for cheap.  Happens to me every time.  I too was thinking of waiting for the election because republicans still haven't figured out that America now votes emotion/perception over reality.

I just purchased M6--G. A2 new last night for $1,604.00   You may have to reduce even further.

I don't even wanna think about the hit I'm gonna take selling a "new" (unfired) LWRC M6A2.

Too true, anything pre-IC is a tough re-sale right now.  

If you don't have to list it, don't...best to just hold on to it.
