Where do you meet up to sell your guns?

Meet the buyer at the FFL location after they commit to purchase based on your description and pictures.

Agree.

Go inside for the inspection.

Make an appointment if needed.

Try to select an FFL that will release on "undetermined" if at all possible.

If the buyer is "new", make sure they have all the needed paperwork. (FSC, RealID, second form of ID.)

At the mutually agreed upon FFL. If you want to be extra considerate, just remember you only have to visit the FFL once, the buyer needs to make another visit 10 days later.

Most of this is already mentioned above

Always go through a FFL
Make sure you and the other party have all the needed documentation. Nothing worst then meeting at a FFL and someone not having proper documentation.

There are a few places out your way still doing PPT's.
Good practice is to call FFL ahead of time. Ask when PPT's can be done and if a appointment is needed.
If you aren't 100% sure your gun is California compliant or if its borderline ask the FFL "will you transfer a gun that has XYZ" (Like a AR pistol, while it is CA legal in the proper configuration some FFL's won't transfer them) Don't argue the law with the FFL it's their store and their rules, move on to the next FFL.

Good luck and welcome to the forums.
BTW this is the wrong section for this lol

You can meet a prospective buyer anywhere. Many gun stores don't like people inspecting firearms on their property. I sometimes meet them at the gun range, or private location. Be aware that some FFLs are charging extra fees for PPTs. On Target Range in Laguna Niguel charged me ~$79 for PPT, $10 for a lock, plus ~$47.50 DROS fees. I think they raised their PPT fees to $125.

I'd check their itrader ratings. It isn't necessarily a deal killer if they don't have any ratings, but it should be an extra level of caution. But everyone has to start somewhere. When people ask for pictures, it's them trying to confirm you are not a scammer. Best to offer what pictures they want if you are interested in selling quickly.

Providing many high quality pictures, and answering questions ahead of time can cut down on much of the need for inspection. Any inspection day of sale should be just a formality if you did a good job or photographing. But any inspection I do is usually done inside the store right prior to transferring the gun. Usually payment occurs after the paperwork has started during some of the downtime while the clerk is doing paperwork.
Best to agree on payment method ahead of time. Cash is best, but I sometimes accept venmo from people with a lot of high ratings. But that would only be from calguns folks, or people who have given me no red flags.

Go inside for the inspection.

Both Rifle Gear and Turner's will check the firearm to be unloaded when you walk in.
Then they will take your gun and put it behind the counter and no touching or inspection is allowed.
So, you may want the buyer to inspect the gun before you go inside depending on the store's policies.
Some stores do not want any money exchanged while in the business, so usually the money changes hands before you go inside.

And now it's acceptable to also wear a mask.
