Help with pricing Package Deal

[imntxs554]

Hi Frank, I read your post when it came out yesterday and did some thinking about - decided not to respond right away. This morning, I thought $500 might work - especially if you have local gunshows in your area that are held periodically with a "Military" theme. Get a table and you likely could sell it quickly as a package. Midway sold a lot of those magazines for $100 each just a couple years ago. Glad to see you back! - Bob

BoB, How have you been doing my friend ? I know I been away for good while and I assure you I wasn't traveling. I did try to get ahold of you a couple of times. It's really good to see you my friend I hope all is well with you. Talk with you soon.

Hello Frank, Good to know your OK.

Listing the Maker Marks on the Magazines is needed to help establish a estimated value.
Surely a IP or Rock Ola Mag would be worth more than a IS or U Marked one.

Hi Charlie, Great to see you I'm glad I finally made it back. Yes, your correct the mark makes a huge difference. I remember selling 2 T I marked mags on the Bay for almost 500 each. I can assure you about 80 of the 160 wrapped magazines are really sought after but not for me anymore. I had some really rare ones now I just grad a few and go shoot when I can.

Frank, thanks for posting. I would just price them individually and then as a package for a % less. You will never get the best price for a group (take the $$ scope off the rifle) as you would individually. The down side is there is a lot more time involved selling, packaging, mailing, etc. If you want to just sell as a group, put a price and go GB or CMP or eBay. Take what is fair.

Thank You Dave, It's always a pleasure to talk to you. If you could send me a msg there is something I would like to ask you. I went ahead and sold the set for 575.00 to this guy I've done business with a few times and I did end up giving him my Friend Discount. I do have 2 more sets I'm going to list. I just need to keep away the Suppliers from the new guy just starting out or your regular collector.These business guys don't let the new guy ever bid they make it impossible for them. Believe this or not but I get more complaints or just plain rude ness from the Business Owners just because I don't put a Buy it Now. The cry terribly.

The Ethiopian carbines bring in a lot more new guys. At the same time these parts and accessories become more scarce every day. I suspect that there is a supply of stuff along with the carbines. Get whatever the market will bear, you are doing those folks a favor by selling genuine and correct parts.
