[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Can anyone offer any insight why my MP5 isn't selling

Posted: 9/29/2005 11:39:49 AM EDT

Bolt carrier that is. I've been trying to sell this thing for months and no interest at all. A original MP5 bolt carrier is $250 minimum. I started out at $185 (shipped) and now I'm at $115. Not one single email on it. I just don't understand. What is wrong here???

It's missing 99% of the firearm?

Cause most peoples MP5s "came" with bolt carriers.

No receivers from ORF for a build.

What about people that want to convert a HK94 with a registered full-auto trigger housing? They need a bolt carrier.

It's cause you are a rippoff.

You can buy factory MP5 complete bolt carriers on Gunbroker for $35 all day long.

I'll give ya $40 for it shipped.

I had it up for 6 months and pulled it. Then put it back up last week.

heh, reminds me of the time I tried to sell my Bushmaster 20" A2 upper, right after the ban sunset. Started off at like $400 and ended up at like $275. Someone finally gave me an offer of like $90 but I turned it down. I reckon people thought that because it didnt have a bayo lug or a flash suppressor that it suddenly wasnt worth anything. I still have it and wont try to sell it again.

Deal!! I'll even throw in 1000 rounds of 9mm ammo.

Will it fit in my Hesse AR-15 upper?

The guy at the gunshow said it would.

If so, I'LL TAKE IT!

I hate those damn MP5 players. I can never get them to fit in my ear.

I found the problem...

"This is a top notch job by Fleming. I am baffled by the lack of interest."

Almost as good as Glocks "KABOOM" ads.

Ya gotta be careful what you say.

Sold. Quoted to save evidence of offer.

Why is that bad? Fleming does great conversions. Or is it the fact it was welded? I'm just trying to understand the problem.

I also had a Fleming HK33 welded carrier that sold in a week for $185. For some reason this MP5 carrier is cursed.

Because you used the phrase "Top Notch".

Google for "Top Notch", "Todd", "Special Weapons", "Fucking Moonbat", etc.

You get the idea.

Do you sell your AR15 parts on HKPRO?

Most HK folks want thereal deal - an original MP5 bolt, not a re-weld. I myself spent more to get the real thing and not a re-weld.

That makes sense. I guess if you're spending $12K for a registered HK trigger pack, what's another hundred for an original MP5 carrier. I did have it for sale on HKPro for months and got no interest.

Yeah but for $40 and with a free case of ammo it's not a bad deal.
