Just wondering if anybody here has experience with selling handguns on the gunbroker. Was it smooth and easy, or u ran into issues. Did u have to mail to FFL? What papers did u have to send with the pistol? Any other tips? Thank u

Sold a few things, get copy of FFL, confirm it is a valid FFL, mail to FFL only.

 

But... you are far better off listing something here to sell.

 

 

edit... if it is a handgun, it can only go out AIR, and taken to a UPS/Fedex distribution center.

What's with everyone asking about other options to sell their firearms OTHER than selling on here?

 

It's a win win selling on NJGF. You get to [most likely] sell your firearm quickly and most likely in cash, AND the buyer gets to buy what they want with no fees and FTF.

 

I love the marketplace, for buying AND selling!

and it is always non-premier members who ask too. =P Just saying..

 

But yes... I always try to list here, unless specialty item then I would list on gunbroker. Why pay the high fees.

Greater exposure? IMO, about 100X more than just NJ potential buyers.

True, but in reality, what does that actually get? I sold things on here faster than gunbroker. =)

Guys obviously I would love to just post in the marketplace and sell the firearm locally. however there are several similar handguns already posted for a while without any interest from the members...... so thats why I'm thinking about other options like going to the gunbroker . maybe putting it in one of the gun stores locally ? .

Well...Give it a shot..

 

What do you have for sale?

Sorry I don't want the guys to get mad cause I think to tell ya I gotta become premier 1st.

Rules are rules

I will agree that yes, there is greater exposure and more viewers, but from what I have seen on other forums and GB, a lot of people don't want to go through with buying something that they have never seen before or not wanting to go through the process of buying and shipping and this and that. Selling in our marketplace is super easy and you can check it out before you buy.

Exactly, why not? At least post it up and give it a couple weeks. If no interest, then give GB a chance or something. But I think OUR marketplace should get the first chance. And that goes for everyones firearms.

You can also do the Premier membership for less than a year to keep the cost down if you like. Oh and there are a few other forum topics that are just for primer members also included, but that's all I am allowed to say.. (well not really but it makes it sound more interesting)

Being in NJ, don't you have to send a firearm out through your FFL?

 

I have sold pistols via GB. I use Bruce over at Lincoln Park True Value. The buyer faxes a copy of their FFL to Bruce and he ships it to the buyers FFL. It's really simple, "legal", and effecient. The transfer price including shipping is somewhere between $30-$40.

No you do not need to ship from a FFL, but 2 a FFL. However there are restrictions on how FedEx and UPS want you to ship it, and being a FFL can use the USPS they may be able to ship it for a lower price than you can.

I don't know your situation, but even if you got a membership for a month just to give it a shot you may find it to be worth while. I believe one month is only 3 bucks. Also, there may be reasons that you're not seeing intrest in similar guns on the marketplace. I know I see guns on the board that I like but a long drive is what stops me from snatchin them up. Not to say that members here aren't willing to meet half way. For example, I live all the way in Cape May. If I see a gun that someone has, but they live in most Northern part of Jersey I usually won't even bother. You never know, you may have something that someone wants and lives right around the corner from you. You'll never know unless you give it a shot.

Sell the gun on the forum that has free lsitings like Glocktalk or SigForum or S&W Forum or XD Forum depending on who the manufacturer is. I have sold more guns that were not Glocks on the Glock forum.

Thank you ! That's a great idea as well.

While it's everyones choice to list what they are selling anywhere they like, one of the nice things about selling here on the forum is most of the time your going to do a F2F transfer. Also the premium membership fees while they are not much do contribute to the forum and make it better for all the members here. That and your helping a fellow forum member with something new to them at normally fair price.

Not that there is anything wrong with selling someplace else, it's just many of us prefer to see if we can get away from going through a FFL or even FFL to FFL, just some points in case you didn't think of them.
