So how do you sell your guns now?

I'll second using Armslist. I have purchased one gun on there and know lots of people who use it. If you use Facebook, there a lot of gun selling groups and probably some designated to the area you live.

Vermont has no laws for the most part so selling today in state is only an issue of finding a place to advertise it. The good old ways don't really exist now. I did sign up with gunbroker so I'll probably try that. But with each state having their own set of laws I figured I would have to contact the buyer's ffl to verify that it was OK to sell the gun legally to someone living in that state. I just was wondering if there was another way that people use.

I don't sell guns too often, but when I do, I put them on consignment with a gun shop. There's more people looking at gun shops and impulse buying isn't uncommon. Also, the gun shop takes care of any paperwork.

Facebook put the squelch on selling firearms on most of the sites. In fact, some of the anti-rights groups are putting fake ads on pro-gun Facebook sites (ones that don't sells guns), then reporting the fake ad, in order to get the pro-rights group banned.

I don't sell, I hold them for my son to get when I'm taking the dirt nap. However, I did sell a couple once. They went to a dealer I've known for a long time and whom I trust. He sold them on consignment for me.

Just put the word out with people that you know, word will get around. Few years ago I got a 10-22 and a room broom off a guy at work that came up short on payday a couple times.

In New England you list them on Northeastshooters dot com.

Many private sellers these days record the sale at an FFL, which will cost you anywhere from $10-30.

I belong to two. They have restricted memberships.

+1 That's usually who I sell or buy from. Sometimes a gun will go thru several of us before going back to the "outside". When it does, consignment at local shop usually works well. Over about $ 1500 - then gunbroker is a good option to move it quickly.

Talk your wife into having a garage sale and sell them then. I bought 2 pistols at garage sales. Just make sure the buyer has a permit to purchase a firearm and photocopy it and his drivers licence.

in MA we're only allowed to sell 4 guns per year face to face. More than 4 must go thru a dealer at $25-$35 per transaction. Many of us have many more than 4, so that would take a long time or get expensive.
