I will add my two penneth !!!
At this moment in time I have not seen very many secondhand Vanquish up for sale. There is one that went up for sale on here a couple of days ago and its priced at £870.00 - Think he had this up for sale before at £900 with no luck.
The secondhand market in general is pretty poor - I have seen an increase in PE LV1, and Geo's and also seen Luxe and Vapours.
The problem I see with the secondhand market is that we can all stick up an item with a sale price that we want, if theres no interest then we obviously then need to revisit the price and adjust accordingly, BUT, the secondhand item is only worth what some ones prepared to pay for it - If you were low balled on the items and thought i just need to sell then in turn the secondhand market reduces. Take a look at my example.
Your Vanquish - Sale Price - £900 (lets say)
No Interest
Revised sale price - £825.00
No Interest
My offer - £700.00 as a Low Ball
You then agree to sell at £750.00
This then sets a little precedent as to the secondhand market.
Just look at the secondhand LV1's that are available - New they were over £1,000 and have seen some for £600 odd.
The above problem is happening at the Moment with Empire Axe's - There are loads available at the moment. Before christmas they were going for £250 to £280.00 odd. Now people are offering £220's and some are going, this then has the knock on effect and if I stick one up at £275 then who is going to buy that when some have sold at the £220. Do I then slaughter my price to £220 to get a sale or try and hold out when deep down I know that my £275 is not realistic as the paying punter is not going to pay that.
When we put up an item for sale, any item be it Paintball Equipment, Cars, Bikes, Houses, anything really, we all know that the standard start of sale price is ideally what we want to achieve, but in real terms how many times does it actually make its price ??
Good luck with the sale and hope you enjoyed the gun.
