Consignment sale

[JJ1911]

Hey everyone. I'm interested in putting a gun up for consignment and I was jsut wondering is there anything I need to have prepared besides the standard paperwork that goes with any handgun transaction with an FFL?

Instead of letting the dealer take a cut of your firearm price, put it up for sale here at Calguns. Then when you have a buyer schedule a meet at your closest FFL to do the transfer.
Why give your money to someone else, when you could very well get your buyer here?
If this is all new to you, we'll help you out.

what do the dealers usually charge?

Yeah I like the calguns system, I've done business on it before. However I was just interested in seeing what consignment sales were all about. I see them in stores all the time.

Hawk has it right. The forum will open the gun up to more people and you get all the monies. PPT is the way to go. Figure out what you want for it and post a pic or two and they'll look for you.

Anywhere from 10-20%

Depending on the dealer.

No reason to not use Calguns again then. Consignment sales will not make you more money than you can yourself here.

I called two places today just to see how much they take from consignment guns. Turners wants 25% and Gun World in Burbank wants 35%. What a rip.
