Pro tips to help you sell faster and get top dollar.
Upload the maximum number of photos. Buyers want to see every angle — left side, right side, muzzle, breach, action, sights, any accessories, and any wear. Dark or blurry photos kill bids.
End your auction on a Sunday or Monday evening between 7–10pm Eastern Time. More buyers are online and actively watching, which drives competitive bidding in the final minutes.
Counterintuitively, lower starting prices attract more bids and often result in higher final prices. Use a reserve price if you have a minimum you need to get.
Include make, model, caliber, and condition in your title. Buyers search by these terms. "Glock 19 Gen5 9mm Pistol New in Box" will get more views than just "Glock pistol".
Be upfront about any scratches, wear, modifications, or issues. Buyers appreciate honesty and you'll avoid disputes. Sellers who accurately describe items consistently get 5-star feedback.
Message the buyer within 24 hours of a sale. Ship within 3 business days. Provide tracking. Buyers who feel ignored leave poor feedback even when the item is perfect.
Photograph ALL accessories and extras included in the sale — magazines, cases, locks, paperwork, original box. Buyers often bid more when they see everything laid out together.
Your feedback score is your most valuable asset. Every positive review brings more buyers and allows you to charge more. Treat every transaction like your first — it shows.
