anyone had success selling on TGO?

I'm sure the admins will see this and freak out but I have a legit reason for asking.. [rest deleted by admin]

I have sold many guns on TGO since paying for my Benefactor status. I have never had to wait more than a couple days before they were sold and most of them didn't even take that long. Obviously if you price your stuff too high it will take longer or won't sell. But if you are selling at a good price you should have no problem.

G27 would be a quick sell. paintball gun would be a crapshoot, might sell might not, might take a while to sell.

My experience has been great, I have sold probably 5-6 guns on here, and bought a few also. Most were within a couple of weeks timeframe.

I dont think TGO works too well most times for selling anything non-firearms related (paintball, etc.) but works great for guns. Plus you know most of the time wo you are dealing with and whether they have a good rep or not.

Most of mine were bought/sold prior to requiring Benefactor status for the Trading Post

I have single handedly improved the rate of sales on this site. I need to stop spending money. TGO gives you your target audience for selling anything gun related. We all love guns and we probably live in a close proximity. Win/win

Yes. Go to the buyer feedback forum and peruse the +1's...you don't even have to click on a thread.

I've probably sold/bought over a dozen guns at least on TGO. It's kept me from not paying my rent and/or other bills from time to time.

The 1st gun (SigPro 2022) I sold on TGO was SPF 5 minutes after I posted.

The 2nd (G19) was sold in a few days.

Yes ......

[Guest Moody]

Yes. Go to the buyer feedback forum and peruse the +1's...you don't even have to click on a thread.

This is exactly what I was going to say - the members of this forum are upstanding and honest.

I've sold two guns on here, both were SPF within hours of posting.

Yes. Price your G27 right (search around the INTERNET) and the $25 will be well spent. Far better than you'd get through a gun or pawn shop. Dunno about the paint ball gun but hey, why not try.

Sure have... and buying as well. Best part was putting a face to a name and a name to a username.

I sold a peddle boat here....nuff said.

I sold a peddle boat here....nuff said.

Speaking of that, have you found the other peddle?

And speaking of Rightwinger alone, he and I have had probably 6 or 8 transactions back-and-forth just between us. Guns, ammo, dismantled peddle boats...Like was said before, the sales have led to great friendships with great people.

Otherwise, I have sold 3 guns IIRC and bought 3 guns. That's just counting whole firearms. Never took more than a day or two.

It's worth it.

Honestly the wording of the original post comes across as a blatant attempt to sell without being a Benefactor.

A college student should have the cognitive skills required to look at the Trading Post forums and see the volume of firearms sold via deals brokered on TGO. It certainly did not require a thread asking it and most importantly did not require a thread listing what you had for sale, asking whether or not they would sell here.

Tacky. Very tacky.
