Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (broadest reach for heavy items), Facebook Marketplace (to avoid high shipping costs), or specialized forums such as GunBroker.
Selling Tips
Due to the extreme weight of the cast iron, list as 'Local Pickup Only' on Facebook Marketplace to maximize profit. If shipping on eBay, use a USPS Flat Rate box to keep costs predictable. Clean with a damp cloth and a soft brush to remove dust from the adjustment threads before photographing.
