Can I even ask what the hive thinks a fair price of a firearm is before I list it? Or, once it's listed, do folks IM you and tell you that you're out of your mind and make offers?

You are way over priced. I'll give you $40. just to be nice.

In all fairness, it is pimping for an EE thread whether you like it or not.

I've never used the EE but have a couple things in mind. I assume that means no? I have no idea what it means to "pimp an EE thread"...

I'd try posting your query in the comments/questions area of the EE.

Yeah, that's usually the way it goes. I try to handle them on a case by case basis, but those threads almost always get locked, either immediately if they read like covert WTS ads or later when people start talking about trying to buy the item in question.



Of course, anyone can ask questions about the value or average cost of a particular item without ever disclosing that they have one that they intend to sell.

In EE tradition, just see what they sell for new and add $50.00......

Thanks. Question answered. Please feel free to lock.

Yeah I'm trying to sell something on EE for the first time.  I think it's more than a fair price.  But who knows.  I just looked here and a couple other sites for a week to try and find something similar.

Here is another way of going about it.

Look at past EE transactions, and see what the going rate was.

You could always shoot for the moon and just put OBO with it.

Just check gunbroker or the EE for a simular item to get a idea what a fair price it

Then post it for 10% higher and lower it if it doesnt sell right away.

Gotta love capitalism
