This is probably a stupid question, but what is the best outlet for selling off a large size lot of airsoft guns, gear, and accessories? Im trying to pick up a polar star setup and dont want to spend forever parting it out, becuase then i will lose interest, life will kick me in the balls, and i will be stuck doing the responsible thing and spending the money on something else. Then im out the money and my airsoft stuff. Has anyone had luck selling large lots of airsoft stuff in the past? Any help would be appreciated.

Gotta pay something to be authorized. Better go to Ohio or something like that.

This is my thread in the WTB section
http://www.southcarolinaairsoft.com/php ... =17&t=7257
When i estimated what it was worth, i low balled everything. Basically priced it at what i could realistically could get for it. I just dont want to take forever to part it out. like i said, then i would end up having to spend the money on something else and i would have nothing to show for selling my gear.

Oh noooooooes! $5 is so expensive!
ASF and Ohio are good places. If you want the stuff to sell, sell it super cheap.

I want to sell it fast, but i dont have to sell it. The reason im getting rid of it is because i want to upgrade to a P* setup.

Polar stars kind of suck, so you're probably better off just keeping what you have.
I based my estimates on what its actually selling for right now, not what i think its worth. The SR12 alone stock is worth more than a couple hundred bucks. You're entitled to you're own opinion, but im not asking what everyone thinks its worth, im asking for the best outlet to sell it.

For the last time, im not here asking what everyone thinks its worth, thats for me to worry about.

eBay might work, but people who shop there are usually looking for a ridiculously low price and don't know much about airsoft. You'd probably sell it quickly, but I'm not sure how much you would get.

I disagree. I stalk eBay for the "deals" on a couple guns (TM GBBs, KWA mp7, etc) and they sell for good prices. Never dirt cheap. And you could always set a reserve price on it (if bidding doesn't hit $XX, the item isn't sold.)

the problem with ebay is they jacked up the final value fee to 9% that maxes out at $50. its ridiculous to pay that plus listing fees

ASF just go with the $5 fee I put my P* on there and had around 500 views the first day and a lot of pms. I ended up selling it locally because he had the money first but I would get a lot of offers and messages from there.
