Turners does not buy the gun from you. They put it in the window and when they sell it, it still is a private party transfer. So, why not advertise it yourself and save a couple hundred?

Of course, your time is worth something to you as well. It may just be easiest to drop it off and not worry about it.

Anyone know what Turners charges for consignment? I have a few spoons I could let go but can't decide which way to go consignment Vs sell myself.

PM sent...

If you have more than one gun to sell, or anything with collector value, call Spencer or Chad at Lock Stock and Barrel Investments. These guys are first class, and WILL buy the guns cash for a discount. You'll get a lot more money if you let them put them up for auction.

Gun shops charge 20 percent. A nib used gun usually sells a bit below distributor price.

Y can sell through GB and send it directly to an FFL dealer in the buyers state through the USPS. Works the same as a private party sale except the delivery vehicle is USPS. Must send to an FFL.

PPT in California isn't that tough...meet the buyer at dealer/local gun store, fill out paperwork the buyer pays the transfer fee and money to you, buyer picks it up 10 days later.
How much do you want for the Ruger? looking for one for the wife. PM sent

I checked and don't recall. It was more than what I was willing to "spend", so always have gone to Calguns for selling. The LA following on Calguns is huge. Priced right you can sell a gun on there in under a week.

Somebody's taking it tomorrow. G26 Gen3.

I'm thinking if I should let go of my 226 as well.

Tomorrow? Priced it too cheap! Just kidding, it is better to price it aggressively than dragging it out.

226? That will sell quick too!

I would like a .45 Sig some day, made in Germany. That would make it a 220 or such.
