Pawn shops and consignment experience

[RiskyBusiness]

Anyone care to share their experiences when taking their firearms to a pawn shop whether it's to sell or pawn?

How much of a cut did they want for consignment and did they find a buyer faster than you would have? Did they offer less than what you could have gotten from the marketplace?

For me, I wasn't in a hurry so it was easier to drop it off and not have to worry about planning a time to meet a buyer.
They charged 10% for the consignment, and it sold in around a month.
The money never left the store though, because when I went to collect, they had a used pistol that was right around what they owed me. We worked it out for an even sale.

its a broad question

IN CA, they are an FFL

so I would expect to pay 20-30% for consignment

you get to re dros the gun, possibly, if they dont sell it

Don’t forget taxes on your sale.
