to trade or sell

Hey guys , not sure if this is the proper place to post this, but what are you guys thoughts on selling a pistol on gun broker as apposed to like trading it in to a gun store or private sale

A private sale will net you the most money, if you can find a local buyer.

For that purpose, you should put up a Want to Sell (WTS) ad here on NJGF after becoming a Premium Member (even if it's only for 1 month at a time)

Setting up a sale on Gunbroker incurs fees (both FFL and Gunbroker charges) that you would not incur with a private local sale.

On the other hand, setting up an Gunbroker auction may, in fact, bring you more net money than a fixed price sale (private or Gunbroker) if you are selling a particularly desirable gun.

Trading it in or selling it to a local FFL means you are selling it at wholesale, as the FFL needs to mark it up to resell it at retail.

My humble opinion:

Pay the Premium Member fee and put up a WTS ad here and keep it in our NJGF 'family'. If it fails to sell here, you can always choose from the alternatives I explained.
