Classified Question

[PJL]

So I am going to post a rifle for sale today or tomorrow. I am curious about whether you think it is better to list the rifle separate or with the magazines. I have about 15 magazines and since this is my only gun of this caliber I will not be needing them. What about the 700 rounds I have with the rifle? Just looking for some advice and opinions. Thanks for reading.

Could list it as packages in a single ad.

Just rifle for $X.

Rifle & mags for $Y.

All for $Z.

Using some type of incentive $ savings at each increment.

Guessing an AR style, JMHO I would list with them and offer to sell without at a reduced price

@Camelfilter types faster than I do

Depending on Caliber, you may have a larger market for ammo than gun. Some folks just want more ammo and don't really want the gun. Same goes for mags if it's a popular platform.

I may have bought a gun with ammo so I could get the ammo....

I may have bought a gun because I found a few rounds of ammo and didn't have anything to shoot it in

I guess It doesn't hurt to get an extra gun with your purchase

I found a 30/30 round at my mother-in-law's house, I thought about buying a new rifle.

Don't forget to list EVERY SINGLE thing you added to the gun, and list the MSRP of said accessories in detail

The easiest for you is too post all of them together and sell them all at once.

The easiest for the buyer is too post them separately with a discount if purchased together.

Posting all separately will usually maximize what you can get for the package... Some buyers will have the funds to buy the rifle but not have the extra to also buy the magazines and ammo.

Posting all together will minimize the hassle for you and might still yeild a higher return if you factor in your time and transportation costs to meet the buyer(s).

Thanks everyone for the feedback, much appreciated. FYI--It is an original model Sig 716

I have also seen some classifieds with more than five photos, is there a way to get more photos into a classified ad?

In doing this it says I am limited to five photos, is there a way around this, I have seen some classifieds with more than five.

More photos may be available to supporting members. I can't find anything on it, but if you've seen more, then that's likely the reason.

Make separate posts in your own thread.
Just say " more pics "

IMHO.........

PICTURES

Yeah.....they help.

Aloha, Mark

PS.....if you really want a deal. State : $$$$/OBO. Also ask.....that prospective buyers use the PM feature for such offers (so as NOT to make it appear like an auction).
