Best Gun/Accessory Deal You've Ever Made

[schambers]

This post was originally a sale listing but its evolved into a discussion of where to look for deals, outside of online retailers.

On with the discussion!

Text of original post:

Continuing to clean out my extra parts. I'll throw these up for WEVO people first, and if nobody seems interested, I'll move the items to another forum. On with the listing!

MBUS Pro set, black - Sold
The sights are in very good condition. The screws show some wear but are 100% functional.

B5 Bravo Stock - Sold
I have x2 stocks. Both stocks are in good condition. Switching over to the BCM stock and these are just lying around.

Black Stocks?

[schambers]

[UWone77]

I'll take both stocks. PM coming in a bit.

Ended up buying all 3 items for $150 total. I'd say that was a smoking deal!

Gotta watch out for the ones that haven't reproduced yet, they're fast on the trigger.

Doh! Spending time doing actual work bites me again.

That's really how I get a lot of my stuff... the secondary market. Most of it's very well taken care of, with little use.

It's pretty rare that I buy anything new honestly.

If I do buy it new it's because it was either a screaming deal or I couldn't pick it up used.

Besides here, what secondary sites are you guys using? I'm not huge on arfcom, but will if there's plenty of deals. Have never looked.

Riverofguns.com it searches the big forums for recently posted items from your search. I've found several deals through them.

I use my local forum a lot. It's got a pretty large marketplace. Migunowners.org

Arfcom has had some great deals. $450 Aimpoint M4 is the last thing I picked up there. Good deals on complete uppers if you can find the one you're looking for.

I think local boards in general are the way to go. People buy and sell more on a whim in my opinion vs. trying to get top dollar. That's where I picked up that LMT MK18 upper, unfired, with the LMT rear sight and BCG $525.

Best deal I ever found was on a local board. Guy puts up an ad for a "monolithic" upper. Doesn't provide any details, but wants $1200 for it. I figured it was a LMT MRP. So I PM'ed him, and it turns out it was a VLTOR VIS-3, Rainier Match 14.5 barrel with a pinned AAC Brakeout. Young National Match BCG, Diamondhead backup sights. I offered him $1050 at the time because I really wanted a VIS upper at the time.

When we met up, he forgot to mention an Aimpoint T1 on a LaRue Mount was also included.

That's almost hilarious. Wow!
