I hope this is in the right place, but I figured it be best to ask here.
I know the classifieds is full of firearms, parts, bino's, scopes and such. Is it appropriate to list a Warn Winch for sale or trade or should I put that in the 4x4 section?
Thanks.
Shut up and hunt!

Sure, why not. Folks advertise all kinds of stuff, from cell phones to property for sale... Give it a whirl and good luck..

Thanks guys.
Fish Head,
Tried Craigslist and so far I have gotten tons of folks who aren't serious.
The winch is in slighly used but excellent shape and normally retails for close to $1000. Best offer to date was $150........
I ain't that desperate. Matter of fact I'm only getting rid of it for cash for a scope. Just had a rifle given to me from a friend who is terminally ill. Want to set this rifle up right in his honor so here I am...
Don't have any extra scopes lying around so I figured as little as I use the winch I'd go ahead and sell it.
Think I'll get some better pics tonight and list it in the classifieds. Can't hurt I suspect. Just didn't know if it was common to do so.
Shut up and hunt!

No problem at all. Heck there are $400 purses being sold there right now!  (offered for far less than $400 too so they may be a good deal if you're into purses that much)

Seems to be classified ettiquete to price an item and not just ask for "best offer".

What I have found with Craigslist is if you put your e-mail address in the actual ad itself, you will be bombarded with spam and numerous "unrelated to your ad" e-mails. We found this out the hard way 2 weeks ago, no we just let them contact us through Craigslist or they can call us on the phone.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

Kelk -
If wildbill59 isn't interested, PM me and I might be. Depends on the size and price.
As noted above, there is all kinds of stuff listed in the classifieds. I have bought a couple of tools and a cleaning kit, among other things.
A couple of (new) guys got snotty about it, saying it was supposed to be a guns classified. They were quickly put in their place by other members of the forum and I haven't seen them since!
I'm sure your winch would sell there just fine.

A winch is very much related to hunting, fishing, camping, and the outdoors, all of the things that the Campfire crew is in to. I'd say a winch is perfectly acceptable in the classifieds here.

What are the regulations on shipping a winch? Do you have to go through a dealer? Just kidding...for Bricktop.
I saw a movie where only the military and the police had guns. It was called Schindler's List.
