Best way to sale guns for both parties?
« on: August 19, 2007, 07:57:10 PM »
If I list guns for sale on this or any other web site, what is the best way for both parties to exchange money and guns? I wouldn't want to ship or transport the gun without money in my hand. I assume most people buying wouldn't want to send any money without seeing the gun first hand. Unless they live close to where I live, I would have to ship it. Also what laws apply or how does it work to ship a gun in-state or do I need to use a FFL dealer to do this?

If you are an individual sellling to another individual and it's a face to face sale no need for FFL dealers, BUT...if you are going to send it to someone then There needs to be two a FFL dealer on both ends of the deal and this is the case in state or out of state. MAKE DAMN SURE YOU COVER YOUR BUTT on sales of weapons or you could be yourself in a serious federal crime.

Actually when you ship a rifle or shotgun within the same state, I don't believe you need a FFL on either end. If you ship a rifle or shotgun out of state, the receiver must have a FFL, but the sender doesn't. I mailed a rifle through the United States Postal Service to a guy somewhere back east (I think Michigan) and I took it to the post office myself and mailed it off to his FFL holder. As far as the money goes, usually the buyer will send the money first and then the gun will be shipped when the money is received. If you take lots of close up pictures and give a honest description of the condition, and sell them at a fair price, then they may not have to see it in person. Guns are sold all the time over the internet and through the mail with no problems.
