Need some opinions on selling my m1a
Bought a green synthetic standard model m1a back in November 2012 and I've only ever been able to take it out once, fired I think 10 or 20 rounds. I paid 1,334.98 before pics and all that, and I kinda wanna sell it now... But not sure how much I should ask. I was thinking since so little rounds were put through it and nothing on the gun has been modified at all (still a virgin) I could get close to my price.
Opinions, comments, let me know please.

Surprisingly, doing a GB search new ones aren't going for what you paid for yours.
Here is a loaded one.

Keep it. It's a great rifle. Unless you need it for some emergency - don't sell it. No need to take a 400$ hit.

Re: Need some opinions on selling my m1a
Rule of thumb for me, is this...I buy a new gun, the moment its paid for it is now a used gun and if I want to sell it I'll expect to take a 20% to 30% hit..
Not too many people will want to pay close to a new price for a gun that has been owned by someone else and is clearly not a new gun.

Keep it. It doesn't take up much space and you don't have to supply it with food. Sooner or later you'll want to shoot it more.

Re: Need some opinions on selling my m1a
Looks like the one you linked to sold for about $25 less than he paid for his. But, the loaded usually gets slightly more. It's in the ballpark.
OP, you should hang on to it unless you really need the $. I would bet that the value of anything with a scary feature like removable mags, flash hiders, semi-auto, etc. will only go up. Plus, they are fun as hell to shoot.You can never have enough horsepower or ammunition.
