You still have to figure losing 20-30% on the consignment fee.
Depends a lot on the shop, but figure you are only going to get 10% more on consignment than if the shop just buys it from you. It’s a better way to go if you are really in no hurry or the shop low balls you.
But if you think it’s worth $500 and the shop agrees it’s worth $500, then they’ll probably offer you $350 for it or put it on consignment for you for $500 and take a 20% consignment fee. Leaving you at $400 and the 1 day to never it takes to sell on consignment.
Not knocking consignment at all. Just pointing out, you usually aren’t talking walking away with a lot more money.
The bestest option is face-to-face private party sale. In this state, the only legal options there are selling it to a family member, or get yourself an FFL-03 to sell your C&R long guns to another C&R holder.
Then no tax or transfer fees the buyer is dealing with and they are likely to pay market price from you.
Even if you are selling it private party and do transfers through an FFL to make it legal, the buyer is figuring in the cost and hassle of a transfer. Why pay $500 for what an FFL will sell em $500 for. And then have to pay $20-60 for a transfer and the extra hassle of making the time to meet up there.
confirming that yes. This is the way.The morass of Equitable Ownership vs the ability to be able to Recieve Possession .
You would have the ownership interest in it . But to recieve back from uncompleted consignment would require a Transfer to you .
That's pretty much it .
Good point.If the OP has pre-2013 banned items he can’t sell them to anyone in MD, including family. The only way they can get them is through inheritance after his death

I totally disagree with this. GB is great for an established seller who has a good reputation on GB. I used to work at a B&M store (that could easily be confirmed) and we tried selling on GB and people were really apprehensive of buying from a new GB seller.
Fourth hip?Take note of the join date of the person I was quoting. I was ribbing a fellow "13'er" on the forum.
I turn 53 on Wednesday and am not exactly spry myself, as my bones are dissolving from my body. I had my fourth hip replacement in February.
Yeah. This one was a hip replacement + major reconstruction surgery due to severe Osteolysis of the femoral head (hip bone dissolving) I had my first total hip replacement at age 28 (Avascular Necrosis) and I turn 53 on Wednesday.Fourth hip?

Fortunately, MDS' own Dbledoc was behind the knife and hammer, so I was only sort of terrified of the procedure.
My wife absolutely loves the fact he could BS about scuba diving, long distance shooting, reloading, et al, 20 minutes before they put me under for a crazy surgery. She knows it really calmed my nerves.
You really got started early. I had a full left knee done in 2019 and left hip done in “20” at age 67. Sounds like you picked the right doc.Yeah.

He is “Squaregrouper”Fourth hip?
I have stage 4b cancer so maybe 3 to 5 years left, maybe shorter time to be actually be able to be functional enough to shoot.Good point.
And to the OP’s mention of their health. Depending on if it is a flippant comment or actual diagnosis, if my days were numbered and I had a good idea of how few they’d be, I would go the fastest route on converting what I had to a usable to me or my next of kin form. Even if I didn’t need the money, if part of the plans was to still use it while I could…is that a month, 3 months, 6, 12, 24?
I am not sure I’d want to be twiddling my thumbs for weeks on stuff to sell.

Great advice. When I was working at a gun shop shortly after retiring from Ma Bell, the ownership of the place would only pay max 40% of any gun. When I'd sell on consignment, I'd loose 40%. Gun Broker is best and the Penny start is a great way to get interest ginned up, especially if you start it on a Thursday.You won't get anywhere near Reasonably Close by taking them to a brick and mortar gun shop.
You'll be offered 40% or less of their actual value.
Sell them on Gunbroker. A penny start with no reserve and you'll get the actual value of your pieces. Don't be afraid of a penny start. Once the Friday and Saturday drunken bidding begins, you'll be happy with the sale. Let the auction run for 14 days. Allow the entire country time to see your guns.
Or you could use a reputable auction house. Gunbroker will yield more money though. Auction houses will nickel and dime you seven ways from Sunday.
Good luck.
What kind if HF Blades do you have?I have stage 4b cancer so maybe 3 to 5 years left, maybe shorter time to be actually be able to be functional enough to shoot.
Like I said none of my family members are interested in guns.
I want to keep a couple I shoot now, trade or sell a couple to buy a 2 firearms I have been wanting and sell the rest and put the cash into my estate or investment fund for my kids.
All my ammo, mags, scopes and misc accessories, Busse, vintage SOG, old school Winkler, Half Face Blade knives and build sheets are in a spreadsheet in case I pass quicker because of complications.
I worked at a local gun shop.when I was younger and understand the low margins especially with used firearms, I am not expecting top dollar just reasonable sale prices.
Pre MD ban stuff is pre/post '94 AK"s, pre ban colts and a few other miscellaneous firearms.
I am currently talking to a small FFL holder who does mostly online sales and I am still discussing fees for selling but it is looking promising.
Again Thanks for everyone's input
