Just thought I would let you all know that I recently tried SWFA's trade\purchase program, and it worked great!
I've been wanting to get a new scope for a while and needed to trade or sell one of my scopes, in order to justify buying a new one. I had heard about this program and since I've had good service from them in the past when I've purchased Super Snipers and other stuff, I thought I would give it a try.
I sent a request for "trade-in" quote to them around July 20th. The next day I got a reply back with the trade-in amount and instructions on where to send the scope, if I agreed to the amount. I was still pondering what scope I wanted next and had contacted various people to have a gander at their scopes. So, I did not reply or send my scope in right away.
Around July 28th, I was still on the fence as to what I wanted. One of the scopes that I was heavily leaning to is not even sold by SWFA, so I thought I would send in another request, only this time it was a request for purchase. This time it took them a couple of days to get back to me, but when they did, the purchase price was $50 more than the trade-in price. It was good enough for me and was actually more than what I had been seeing similar scopes selling for, so I boxed the scope up and sent it off.
SWFA received the scope on Aug. 5th. I got the check from them yesterday, Aug. 23rd. Not too bad of a turn around.
Needless to say, I'm happy and would highly recommend this program. I've heard that they will even buy guns.
