Since I retired I have sold well over $20,000 worth of my (investments) guns at either the Ohio Gun Collectors Show or at the Louisville National Gun Day Gun Show. I usually sell them outside before I even go in. The last time I went to Louisville the guys pounced on me in the lobby. They see the Colt boxes and the Model 12s and Browning cases and that happens. If you have nice guns and bought them at a good price, you'll make money on them. I have made money on every gun I have sold in the past year. Right now people are paying top dollar for nice guns. Good luck.

I had a couple of bad experiences selling guns myself. Mostly with buyers who want to shoot your gun for fit and target breaking & then return it if they don't do well. Nowadays I ask them up front if Cabelas, Gander Mountain, etc. lets them to take a gun and shoot it before buying? Strange... buyers will go to a gun store, shoulder the gun & point it around at corners of the room, then decide to buy it, no return once they leave the place. But you ship them a gun & later that day they're wringing it out on the trap or skeet range. Low score & they get out the magnifying glass, call to say there's a ding or scratch you forgot to tell them about & insinuate you're a lowlife & weren't truthful when you advertised it.

Nah. I wouldn't do that either, Dogfox. Too many guys out there just want to see if they can shoot someone else's gun and never have any intention of buying it to begin with. There are too many decent buyers out there who know when they want a gun and don't mess around. Keep lookin'.
