I have a Crossman 600 BB gun that I like to sell, I know in New Jersey these are considered firearms and to do a face-to-face sale would require a pistol permit. Since they're not considered firearms federally, can I list this on gun broker and do a sale without an FFL being involved?

most states allow bb guns to be accepted without an ffl, but I always call a ffl in the buyers state to verify

I guess my question is: if it's legal in another state to buy through the mail, can I get in trouble for selling it through the mail because It's illegal in our state? Can I bring the airgun to another state and do a face-to-face there if it's legal in the other state? As an example, could I post it on craigslist in Pennsylvania, drive to Pennsylvania with the Crossman and do a face-to-face there or ship it to Pennsylvania via UPS without an FFL?

If you are selling it out of state, and it is not regulated by federal law regarding interstate commerce. It would appear to be OK.

 

Just be careful selling to these areas

Sale or possession of air guns are usually unregulated in most U.S. States. A few States and municipalities restrict or prohibit air gun sales or possession in some manner, including: San Francisco, New York, New York; Camden, New Jersey and Newark, New Jersey. Johnson City, Tennessee; Massachussets, Chicago, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the States of Illinois, and Michigan.[22] Additionally, ordinances in many cities prohibit the discharge of air guns outdoors outside of an approved range.

 

 

These guns are collector items and can sell $250 to $275.

Since federal and PA law doesn't regulate airguns, you can do a FTF in PA (but possibly not in Philly) with anyone who can legally own an airgun, without paperwork (including NJ residents). If the transfer occurs in NJ, all NJ laws apply. As far as shipping it out, that should be OK as long as the location it's going to does not regulate airguns - if you really want to play it safe, ship it out from PA.

 

Craigslist does not allow firearms to be listed, not sure what their policy on airguns is.
