Even when you let someone return a gun, they are still upset about the shipping they lost. I'd rather not deal with that stuff. With a brick and mortar consignment, everyone can touch the gun who is interested and decide if they want it or not, whereas if I try to sell it I have to ship and wait to see if they want to keep it, or if listing locally I have spend my time running around to meet people. Sometimes it isn't worth the hassle.
