| I am looking to sell several firearms due to lack of use. There were several shops in town that would sell them on consignment but alas they are gone. Whats the best way to sell these days? I definitely want to transfer through a dealer. Yes I know about the EE. Thanks in advance for any advice. |

The EE is the best way to get the most money out of it.
Any shop you sell it at has to be able to pay the bills, keep the lights on, and make a little profit. If they want to sell that gun for what is worth they have to pay you less for it so they can keep going. |

If you sell out-of-state, it isn't an option. And if it isn't required... why? Have you looked at gunbroker.com? |

You can ship to an in-state buyer. You cannot ship interstate. The bast way is face-to-face. You get the cash, they get the gun, see you later. Going through a dealer is going to cost both you and the buyer more money. If you're in the Raleigh area, send me an IM. My brother lives there and might be interested. I would list them on the EE as "FTF only". You'll probably find a buyer pretty quickly. |

Thanks for the replies. When shipping out of state or in state isn't it required to go through an FFL? I thought transfer through an FFl would be the best way to transfer ownership and protect me and the buyer. Arms List I had never heard of. nothing is "going to protect you" Keep a copy of e-m / pm's regarding sale and contact ph number. last resort is do a bill of sale when selling w/out aid of an FFL. |
