Default Auctioning off my FAL...

I have had my FAL on auctionarms for a few days and thought I'd give everybody the heads up, that it is looking to be going cheap right now. I started it at a penny and it is at $270 now with no reserve.

You may have seen this before on another thread, but it wasn't a dedicated thread or anything. I am just trying to get some more interest in it, and hopefully another buck or two...

Giver her a look, and if you have any questions, let me know.

Post Fritz.

That is a darn nice looking weapon. I do not know how the hell to do that auction stuff. But I think the current bid is $320.00 ???
If it does not sell take it to a gun show and it will sell quick I bet yah.
When I worked the shows with my Uncle Marv guys would just carry there weapons to sell around the building and had a lot of luck doing that.
Weapons sales are going through the roof since this election debacle.
You should be able to get some good money for that nice weapon.
Good luck bud. 4th.

It's up to $351 now, but that's still way too low.
I've never used auctionarms. Are you bound to sell it no matter what the bid is? Why didn't you put in a reserve?

Yeah you should have put a reserve or a starting bid for the lowest you'd accept, that's a really nice looking rifle.

I am not a fan of using the auction sites as a classifieds section. It isn't what they are for. I figure let her rip, and in times like these, I would hope that the feeding frenzy would be in the sellers benefit.

4th, I am bound to the sale, but thats what the auction is all about. I don't put reserves on things because it is a waste of everybody's time. And starting it low peaks interest.

I was just hoping to put the word out, let people know what it was going for. Basically I am trying to get a decent AR-15 kit out of it.

YOU CAN ALWAYS HAVE A BUDDY BUY IT IF IT DOES NOT GET ENOUGH INTEREST. NOT A GREAT THING TO DO BUT IT IS DONE.

Kind of underhanded. That's why you have the option of setting a reserve.
