I just bought a brand new Smith & Wesson 642 Airweight Revolver (.38 Special Hammerless) one week ago, and I'm ready to sell it. Yesterday was the first time I had shot it, I put 30 rounds through it. I hate to sound like a "wuss", or whatever, but this just has too much kick for me. I do like the gun. I think it's just too much caliber, too little weight, and not enough barrel length for me to be completely comfortable with.
I am willing to lose money to sell this gun, but I'm not sure where I should do so.
I was recommended to list it on GunBroker.com, but I'm not certain that I even stand a chance at selling it on there. I took a brief look-around on the site, and it seems like all of the guns that actually have bids are being sold by sellers who have 200+ feedbacks and "A+" positive ratings. The other guns/sellers don't have any bidders. Doesn't seem likely that someone would bid on mine with zero feedback when they could bid on someone else's who has 200+ feedback, even if theirs is priced a little bit higher.
So what should I do? Where should I list it? Is anyone on here interested?
I paid $480 with tax for this gun one week ago (I have the receipt of course).
I am willing to sell it for $399.
I also have a Blackhawk Serpa paddle holster and a speedloader that I can include for a little extra, otherwise I will just put those on ebay.
Thank you,
Brandon
