For rifles and based on personal experience, if it's not a 700 or clone, I try to sell elsewhere first. Don't sell many, but the last three that were not push feeds that I really wanted to move, I put on the classifieds, dropped the price after a couple of days to my bottom dollar and got low-balled. Listed them on an auction site (starting bid was what I offered them for here and added a shipping cost to the auction to cover the auction fees). All 3 sold, 2 for substantially more than what I would have accepted from a campfire member.
Scopes are tough and keep dropping, I see people's preferences changing quickly and few selling for what I thought they would.
Overall, I agree with the above, 1 to 2 days of TTT, drop price to bottom dollar, TTT for one or two more days (make sure you hit a weekend), then back in the safe or sell elsewhere.
Personal opinion, worth what you paid.
