    Other secure places to sell guns

    Where else do you guys sell your guns? Seems like marketplace is a little slow lately.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

      I've noticed a lot more consignment guns at my LGS's. I think we all got use to the rate of sales pre-election and now the rush has cooled off. That plus people are asking crazy prices for their stuff.

      Guns priced right still sell pretty quick.

        I can buy your PM7 within a couple dollars of your asking price at my LGS, new. This is a deal breaker if you are selling something that doesn't have a warranty for the new owner. Not sure about DW's second owner warranty.
        If you never registered it with DW, mention it in the ad. Also list round count if their is any. Some mention "as new in box" when in fact they have taken it to the range once or twice.
        Off roster guns still command somewhat of a premium but not what they did this time last year.
        I haven't sold anything in years, since before the the frenzy but have gifted quite a few to my son though.
        When I was selling two or three and buying one, I'd use GunBroker as well. That was when I discovered CalGunners were pretty tight with their money

          Depends on type of firearm but I've sold several on Longrange hunting magazine in one week or less time.

            Armslist can work, especially for a seller. You have to meet at an FFL and you get cash.....pretty simple. Buying is a little more dicey, but I did it once with no issues at all....the seller was a very knowledgeable gun guy, the gun was mint.

            Just be prepared to nix anybody with stupid/repetitive questions or who cannot meet in a timely manner.

              Just lower the price and sell it here.

              By the time you pay listing or consignment fees you will still net more here.

              Shipping costs will kill any deal unless it's something rare.

              Retail plus tax and dros isn't happening unless it's in high demand.
