The Million Dollar Tip For Selling Used Paintball Gear

 

TalonAre you ready for the million dollar tip for selling your used paintball guns and gear? If you want to sell you gear, and I mean SELL it, not SIT on it, then read on.

If I earned a dollar for every over priced listing on PbNation, or any other paintball forum in the B/S/T section, I'd be a millionaire, thus making this is the million dollar tip.

Sell your paintball guns and gear at a REASONABLE price

  • Sometimes its best to just let buyers decide how much your gear is worth.  This is what makes selling on eBay so great, because if you've created your .99 cent starting bid listing right you should get a slew of bidders willing to pay fair-market-value for your paintball gear.
  • If selling on a forum, see what kind of offers you can get.  Never set a minimum, why?  Because that's exactly what you'll get.  Give a reasonable price with some cushion added so posters can do what they love best - haggle you down.  When they haggle you win, why?  Because more posts on your thread means more exposure for you as it will be continually listed at the top in the B/S/T forum.

Want to see an example of an unreasonable price? Take a look at the picture of the modified Brass Eagle Talon at the top left, pretty cool huh?  Well, not so cool after you see what the owner wants for it...

SUPER CUSTOMIZED TALON: CUSTOM MADE 24 INCH BARREL, SOLID REAR RIFLE STOCK, BOTTOM LINE HOOK UP, WITH 3000 psi 51CUBIC INCH TANK, REWORKED TRIGGER INTERNALS AND PUMP, ALSO 12 VOLT HOPPER $1500.00 OR TRADE FOR DYE DM5 WITH AIR TANK

Ridiculous right? Who in the right mind would trade a Dye DM5, or better yet pay $1500 for a $20 paintball gun with cheap mods?

Don't be greedy, when selling your paintball gear always make sure you are pricing it a reasonable price. If you have no clue what you should charge, you can always do what I like to do; slap it on a .99 cent 7 day auction on eBay and let bidders decide how much its worth.

    Great tips, I’ve got some stuff I’m getting ready to sell. Always changing things around on my A5…

    I tried on a local forum, but no luck. So, I’m going to drop the items on ebay and see what happens!

    Thanks,
