Buying shotguns is what is fun about our hobby. The search, the research, the bargaining, and the anticipation are what we're after. Once you buy it, it goes in the safe and becomes only an obligation to try and get out shooting or hunting a couple times a year.

Selling shotguns is a pain. Dealers and pawnshops just see you as a "mark". Go to a show and Troll a gun for sale and you find out how few people have a clue about the guns we love.

IMHO the only reasonable way for an individual to sell a sxs is on the internet on a site dedicated to folks interested in and knowledgable about what you're trying to peddle. Understand going in to the sales process that the only reason dealers expect to get retail is because they invest in the premises, the inventory, the sales staff, and all the other overhead that brings customers to them....Geo
