Where to sell?

[AIRSOFTMUM]

Hello! Sorry I am completely new here. My son has a nearly new ASG M40A3 McMillan Sniper Rifle SportLine, from PatrolBase, he’s literally used it 5 fives but the air soft phase has gone already. How can I sell it for him? Thanks for any advice!

Hello.

pop it in the classifieds with a couple of decent pics

here:

general rule of thumb for value is 60-70% of its new price if it’s in good condition. If it’s two-tone coloured, it will effects desirability a bit

good luck

I'd emphasise that this means nothing to your potential buyer.  They're looking at a used toy with no warranty which might be in anywhere condition from mint, to completely wrecked.  The classifieds are full of unsold examples of "nearly new" toys offered for sale at nearly-new prices which nobody feels inclined to pay.

Hi Airsoftmum,

Unfortunately you are not alone.  There are quite a few 'nearly new' and 'hardly used' things on sale here.

That particular model is now selling for £80 on Patrolbase so you might be able to get £50 to £60 for it depending if someone is looking for that model.

This is the section to sell it.

Spring Rifles - Airsoft Forums UK (airsoft-forums.uk)

 

Alternatively it might be worth keeping in case he gets back into it when he's a bit older.  (Maybe some friends will get into it and he'll be the expert)

Thank you so much, will get it listed for him, more than happy with 60-70%, fingers crossed

Thank you so much for your advice, will list it tomorrow! It’s just gathering dust (not literally), such a waste as so new
