I’ve got a pair of used crispy boots. Sole has some wear. But, still in good shape. $325 plus shipping.

I’ve got a Kifaru hoodlum. It’s in great shape except the 4 holes I snagged in it last year. $230 plus shipping.

I’ve got some used merino underwear boxer/briefs. Only shit in them twice. $40 plus shipping

Etc…., Etc…., Etc….


Does anyone actually sell stuff on the classifieds? Who is paying these prices for used gear. While all of the above is made up, the truth in the examples is the dumb prices people ask for their used stuff.


Tell me when was the last time you bought anything off the classifieds? For me it’s been a while. From the looks of the ignorance, it’s going to be a lot longer too.
 
It seems that the more people actually sell on the classifieds, anywhere, the more they have a solid idea of what something is actually worth, and how long a given price will take to sell. And they price at a point related to how long they're willing to wait for it to sell.

And then there are the congenitally stupid, who never figure it out and just keep bumping their own posts, for pages.

I've bought and sold plenty of things on here - the people who have trouble selling are the people who have trouble understanding their priceless treasure...isn't.
 
One mans treasure…

I have both bought and sold here recently. Stuff thats priced right AND is seen by the right people sells quick. Some stuff thats priced pretty right, but clearly isnt getting seen by the right people, sits. I can think of a couple really cool finds at reasonable prices that ive seen here that have been sitting for a while, that if I didnt already have duplicates would have snatched up. But sure, theres also stuff thats priced too close to msrp for my taste, but thats universal.

I just bought something last wee, easy.

If I were you, I’d not even bring up classifieds and let it continue to be a bane of existence for the mods. Otherwise classifieds will just be gone.
 
That’s disgusting haha.

But I think retail has shipping and tax on top of the list price, and his is a shipped to your door price.

I agree, used gear needs to be discounted better in the site in general.
Quit trying to justify your purchase. 😂

Haha.

Folks always forget about tax and shipping.

And then the seller has to drive to the post office or wherever and pay the asinine shipping prices theee days and price for fuel to and from (lots of us don’t live in the city).

I’ve always discounted my sales here greatly for Rokslide members. More folks should do the same. But I’m not gonna harp on a guy selling a $30 item for $25 when he’s probably paying $12 minimum to ship it. Plus a gallon or two of fuel and their time is worth money. Etc.
 
Facebook classifieds for me.

Brand new Cabelas Alaknak 12×12 for $150

2010 polaris sportsman, runs like a dream with low hours for $1500

Flipped a Lincoln mig welder. Bought for $400 and sold for $2200 within an hour of reposting.

Hunting gear shouldn't have near the resale value it does. Never understood the whole Swaro hype
 
I can’t disagree any more. I get killer deals and give killer deals on the rokslide classifieds all year long. Yah sure there’s items poorly priced items but I completely disregard them as should you if you don’t want to buy them. Just this year I’ve bought a Hilleberg tent, swaro spotter, and tikka barrels that all seemed basically new and all were 50% less than retail. I also sold items that I priced to sell to make up room in my gear closet. If you’re looking for used boots, underwear or calls you’re already a sucker.
 
The prices do get silly at times. I bought a NF on here recently tho for like 1/2 of retail, in like new condition. So occasionally it’s worth it. I have no interest in used clothing or shoes, I don’t understand that. Why would you buy used boots that someone else sweat in a bunch and broke in to their own feet…
