Bushmaster XM 15 E2S Pricing?

[Joe7cri]

I'm thinking about selling my Bushmaster and was curious how much I should be asking. It's in great condition, and includes (3) 30rd Mags, 3-9x42 NcStar illuminated scope, Wolf soft case, (14) Boxes American Eagle .223, and (5) Boxes of Wolf .223. I was thinking $850.00 for a quick sale but I didn't want to sell it too cheaply and wanted to know what I should be asking. Also, I'm in NY so the Pre-Ban 30rd mags may have extra value since we are still limited to 10rd mags. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Joe

We're selling it new in the shop for $950. I have one and I think $850 is a fair price, however I don't think it will move quickly at that price. Keep it!

 

[Joe7cri]

Thanks, I'm torn on whether to sell it or keep it. I'm in a part of NY where there's not a lot of places to shoot it so I would like to sell it and pick up a couple of pistols, but I know if I sell it, I'll end up buying another one in a year or 2. Also, I meant to post a pic so I'll include it now.

Or not.

You're in New York, right?

Joe7cri,

You know, ArmedBear has a good point...

 

[Joe7cri]

well one of the pistols I want to buy is the Kel-tec .223 so it wouldn't be that much of a trade off

 

[BamaXD]

Keep it! You've already said you might buy another down the road anyways. Just my vote.

 

[Dksimon]

If you want to try a trial separation I am willing to take if off of your hands free of charge!

I would definitely buy another one down the road, the gun is so much fun to shoot because it's so accurate but I have to travel 2 hours upstate to shoot it. I'm hoping to make a move in the future to a place I can shoot it regularly but until then I really don't use it much. Also, if I keep it I'll have to put the new toys on the CC and I just paid off all my CC debt about a year ago, so I don't want to go down that road again. As it is, I just picked up a little Kel-Tec .380 but luckily it was cheap and it's so small my wife will never find it I'm really leaning towards selling it if I can get a descent price for it, if not I won't be terribly upset keeping it. I really just wanted to get an idea of the going rate for what I was selling. I talked to a friend who saw these new for $999.00, so I'm thinking my price is fair since it include about $150.00 in ammo, the scope, 3 Mags and the case. I thought I was a little low, but now I think I might be okay if not my $50.00 on the high side. On another note, I can't believe how much the American Eagle .223 is selling for. I went to cheaper than dirt and saw it for $10.00/box As I said, I don't shoot it much so I bought the AMerican Eagle for $7.00/box about 1 1/2 years ago.

don't get rid of it you will regret it.

 

[ArmedBear]

Joe, you probably won't be able to buy one in two years in New York.

 

[strat81]

Keep it. Sheldon Silver wants to make sure you can never buy another.

 

[SMLE]

One more vote for keeping it. I bought myself one just like it this past Christmas just because of the dim outlook I see for the future of politics.

THINK ABOUT THE POLITICS behind gun laws and restrictions and ESPECIALLY "evil black rifles" so if you think your going to buy another one, just keep this one or you might not own one again. i just bought a rifle kit for that reason

 

[Organdonor]

Yup.. keep it... at least for another year. By then, it will either be worth the same money, or DOUBLE, if another AWB hits us.
