Am I over priced on my current sales post?

You have a stipple job on the G19. That alone is a turn-off for some people (myself included), regardless if it's lowered in price. If it was a stock G19 for $375 you'd have no problem selling it. Not trying to bash your gun at all.

I'm not one to be offended usually. The stipple is not my idea I bought it without really looking it over. It's my own fault.

Everything I've ever sold on here I've taken a loss on. A big loss at that. Just make me angry sad and depressed that everytime I get something I want I have to turn around and sell it because life kicks me in the nuts

I've bought and sold guns for 45 years and like you usually take a loss, rarely have I made any money (profit) on a firearm that I purchased because I wanted it! I have however made some really nice trades where in my mind I came out a head of the game.

We have several very qualified mechanics on the board here that you may be able to get some help from, maybe a payment plan or something to that effect. I'm just throwing it out there for you to consider, they may not even respond but one would hope that they would.

Just looked at a 3 month old post for a gun that has been listed un-changed with 10 bumps. Some folks are just THICK.

Keep lowering your price by $5-10 till it sells, or you are forced to keep it. Guns are not the way to make money. It's rare that you can buy a current production model of ANYTHING & expect to make a profit on it. I have sold a lot of stuff on MGO & Armslist. Usually do eventually sell, but also at a bit of a loss. That's the way the game is played. No one in their right mind will pay new prices or more for a used item.

Stipple is a killer for me.

That's a pretty reasonable price. The only issue is you can get an unstippled, brand new glock for less than $600, and 3 mags are more than enough for most people. I, for one, hate stippling but I do understand why people do it.
I've sold a few things here and there and it's usually at a $50 loss for an unmolested gun that I've put a few hundred rounds through. The gun market is seriously depressed right now thanks to Trump. Nobody is worried about losing their rights.
