I submitted a scope to SWFA for trade in, requested a trade in value of about what the street price is for the scope. They flat out rejected me and made no counter offer. I want a scope they have listed on their sample list. Is any one familiar with there trade in program? Perhaps know the formula they use?
For example: they buy scopes condition "Demo A" for %60 of street price and offer %80 of street price in trade value. "Demo B": Buy at %45 / Trade at %70 I am sure they have such a formula to use, it only makes sense for them to operate the trade in program in such a way. Does anyone have experience with this or anything info on how the trade-ins work? Thanks |

Thanks Here is the problem: So you wanted them to credit a trade value on a used scope that is above their cost for an identical new scope. Have you considered listing your scope on ebay? (but don't expect someone to buy a used scope that they can find a new one "street price") |

No, I did not request an amount above the value of the scope new (although they may have misunderstood me because the asking price was for the scope and mount). The amount I requested for trade value was slightly below the street price of the scope + Mount + accessories. I do think that this may have caused confusion so I resubmitted 2 separate forms, 1 for the scope, 1 for the mount. Again the asking price (for trade value) is below the street price. I am trying to get an idea of how their trade in system works. Regarding ebay, they charge too much in fees. The %10 (I think it is) they would take off the same is a significant amount of cash for a high dollar product like this scope. |

They have to make money, which means your almost always better off posting your stuff for sale in the EE. I agree and prefer to use the forums.... I like the community aspect to it. Sort of like buying from your village dealer, but the village is virtual. I figured the SWFA trade in would be a good deal but that is yet to be determined. |
