Where should I sell my rifle at?

[Duron219]

If I were to sell my rifle should I sell it at a gun store, gun show or put an ad online? What have you done and how did it work out for you?

What ever you do, don't sell it to a gun store. You will only get a fraction of what it's worth. Why not sell here on INGO?

I have had the best luck selling them online. If you put them on consignment at a gun shop you will probably get a little more but after they get their cut it comes out about the same. As long as your price isn't sky high it should sell fairly quick.

Here's a good place I know of: ingunowners.com

Lots of smartasses but generally a good group of guys.

I have sold mostly FTF from online listings (), but I did sell a couple at my local club's open house. I have not tied any of the larger gun shows, but that may open up the buyer market (just have to be careful to take the time and make certain they are residents, etc.)

I have not had a "bad" FTF deal and the folks I have meet have all been pretty decent, but I do try to be careful and remind myself to walk away if something makes me uncomfortable with the transaction.

As has been mentioned, most stores seem to offer you half (or less) of what they plan on selling it for themselves.

As a caution on pricing the online markets, the ones that charge a fee for the listing (or commission off the sale) tend to have somewhat inflated prices vs FTF as the seller needs to recoup the fees. OTOH, it is a good way to reach potential customers outside of the area if you have something that just does not fit our market well.

Ok I'll bite whatcha selling may just sell it without going to the classifieds. If its a 223 bolt action interested.

If it is a Ruger Number 1 International in 45-70, I will take it.

OUTSIDE a gun show, not inside. walk back and forth around the entrance a dozen times and you'll unload it easily.

Where should i sell my rifle? Dont need a at on the end.

 

[Duron219]

Ill probably out it up for sell on here in a few weeks, I'm still deciding if I should or not. It's an Universal M1 Carbine, I'll be selling it with 4 15 round magazines, 1 30 round magazine, a magazine stock pouch and maybe some ammo too but that is if I do decide to sell it.

You also need a subject to make a complete sentence and an apostrophe in the contraction.

"You don't need an 'at' on the end.

Do you still feel superior?

I love me some grammar police! As the son of an English teacher, I am as bad as many, and worse than most! Shooters who care about proper grammar and punctuation? When the zombie apocalypse hits, we need to band together, so that when we rebuild society, the English language will remain intact!

Gee, I was smart enough to understand what he was wanting information on, guess you couldn't.
