Consignment or Private Party?

[whipkiller]

Bryco is like Hi Point

Ahh, that would explain why I'm not familiar.

Like I said... you should be able to sell the other three on here for more than you would get from consignment pretty easily.

I wouldn't waste my time with consignment unless money was needed badly.

[Che762x39]

It depends if you got a WWII Luger take home, or a .22 rifle from Western Auto or a Glock 21 for examples. I had an extra SKS that was in mint shape and one LGS wanted to give me $150 cash, multiple bubbas offered $200 and I sold it on consignment for $500 and my cut was $375 and that shop kept $125 (25%). So the bottom line is I got $375.

I have sold to dealers, put on consignment and did PPT. It really depends on what you have.

I've seen consignment fees as high as 25% at a place here in OC. I agree with others, PPT if you have the time and want to keep your money.

[Tom-ADC]

I have two off roster I'd like to sell maybe consignment is the way to go with them?

[SonofWWIIDI]

PPT all the way to maximize return on original investment.

Consign if you just want to get rid of stuff and don't mind paying someone else a large % of the proceeds.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe consignment Off roster pistols can only be sold to roster exempt persons?

PPT can be sold to anyone because the money isn't going through the FFL.

From the Calguns FAQ here:

http://wiki.calgunsfoundation.org/FAQ#Is_a_firearm_sold_on_consignment_considered_a_PPT.3F

Is a firearm sold on consignment considered a PPT?
Yes.
If the consignment firearm is a handgun, does it need to be listed on the "Roster?"
No. Since the consignment gun is treated as a PPT, it is not required to be on the Roster.

Thank you. I stand corrected.

Check out "Gunthers Guns" on Loker road in Carlsbad. Nice high end shop. Friendly knowledgeable staff.
Wasn't familiar with San Diego, but had previously done a PPT at Front sight in Oceanside. Made arrangements to meet a Calgun seller there on Sunday. Not to knock Front Sight, but Imagine my chagrine after driving down from Ventura (165 mi.)- Front Sight doesn't do PPT on Sunday! So the seller and I went to a nearby shop (recommended by Front Sight staff) which was Gunthers. Great folks and not the hustle and bustle of Front Sight.

Off roster you will get more money ftf. Not that hard to sell pst on here with info on condition and pics if possible and you will sell. Why give up 25% minimum to someone else. They provide nothing you cannot do yourself.

[Eljay]

I'd at least try selling them here first. My experience selling some Mosins when FTF was still legal/straightforward was that I got a number of stupid emails (people with dumb questions, lowball offers, offering weird trades), and a couple of people made an appointment and then cancelled, but nobody I can recall flaked on their appointment, and nobody showed up and then didn't buy. I also sold some powder and a 80% blank and it was the same.

[Tom-ADC]

I'll list them here for a while, then who knows?

Don't forget a consignment gun has to sit on the shelf for 30 days before the dealer can sell it.

[Flyin Brian]

I've consigned before but it didn't work out in my favor. I was looking to sell a very desirable colt revolver and had a LGS tell me he could get me 40% more than what I expected to get out of it and charge me 20% in fees. I should have known better but I went ahead. 60 days later and it still didn't sell, I went to pick it up and learned I now had to pay $35 in DROS fees and wait 11 days to get it back! FML.

I have bought PLENTY of consignments though. In fact, one store I go to it seems like the majority of items there are consignments. The upside is you don't have to worry about the 1 in 30 since it is treated as a PPT.
