Sorry, wrong forum

So I'm about to sell a rifle here on calguns. It is BNIB, never fired. I live a couple hours from the Bay Area and I can't stand the idea of spending a whole day to meet someone for a ppt, maybe having them flake, time and gas adds up quick, right?

I notice most sellers will not ship, and I can imagine why for anything less than BNIB. Can you guys give me some good reasons why I should not offer to ship? Hypotheticals and speculations will help, but I'd really like to hear some actual experiences.

Also, if I don't ship, what can I do to minimize wasted time on flakers?

Thanks, team!

First off, I don't think this really belongs in the shotgun second.

Second, the problems with shipping firearms is finding an FFL that will accept them locally as you cannot send them to the person buying from you unless he/she is a FFL holder.

Then there are shipping costs involved which increase the price and in return nullify the savings of buying a used gun in the first place.

For items not requiring a FFL, just ensure you get payment either via paypal or money order. If you receive a check, wait till it clears till you mail out the product.
