Any tips for listing a gun on armslist? I've never done it before

Get ready if a lot of trade offers
Bump please respond
Be patient! You're going to get a ton of low ball offers.
Also be realistic. You're not going to get retail for your used gun.

I'm listing a Shield with safety 9mm with Talon grips and a Crossbreed Minituck holster for like $380 does that sound good? I might go down to like 360.
I would add up the value of durable, like new aftermarket accessories, and roll that cost into about 2/3rds of what the cost is overall.
Depends on the condition, age, and shots fired in your M&P.
Also, a lot of trade offers will be floated. Its your right to be picky, but don't be an asshole, or expect to turn a profit. Armslist moves like the market-highs and lows, pushed by seemingly arbitrary factors.

List it for $350 firm. Unless it is a handmade alligator skin holster made by monks in the Italian alps, holsters should never be figured into the price you'll get people who will say "I don't want the holster" and they will low ball you. Stay firm, shields are popular.

I would probably start at $400. You can always go down, but never back up. Be prepared for fuckery. Texts or emails at 3am offering a broken lawnmower and a daisy red rider. Make sure the price is firm and settled before you meet, and meet someplace public. I like a busy parking lot during the day.

How do I print a bill of sale? What should it say just the serial # make/model, cost and names dates and signatures ?
