The Best Way to Sell or Trade Guns
- 1). Ask a gun dealer to take the firearms on consignment. Selling them through the shop is a safe, always legal way to go. The dealer will know the laws concerning which firearms are limited in the state and who may buy them. Oftentimes the dealer can get a better price for the firearm.
- 2). Advertise them on various gun broker sites on the Internet. This exposes the firearms to thousands of potential buyers. Depending upon the state you live in, you may be able to sell the gun directly to the buyer if he lives in the same state without having to go through a gun dealer. If you sell the gun to a buyer in another state, the gun must be shipped to a local dealer in that state by the seller, and the buyer will pick it up from the dealer after having passed any federal/state requirements.
- 3). Take the firearms to a gun show. This allows potential buyers to examine the firearm in person. Some gun shows, depending upon the state laws, will allow an individual to purchase a table to sell multiple guns from a private collection. All applicable federal/state laws must be followed when selling, buying or trading guns at a gun show.
