So I have hit some financial issues, and I need to sell off a portion of my collection. Anyone know of the best shop to sell used guns to in the Tacoma/Kitsap area that wont completely hose me? I know I am not going to get what I could listing them here or elsewhere, but I don't have the ability to wait at the moment for someone to become interested.

Thanks for any input.

You are going to get completely hosed by a shop, period. They are going to offer you 50% of what they can sell it for.
You are better off selling here for 75% of fair market. Good deals move fast here. It is the full retail priced stuff that sits around forever.
One option is to go to a shop and get their offer on everything then add $50-$100 to each gun and offer it here. What doesn't sell in a few days take back to the shop.

^What he said. Unless you need the cash today, I'd try to squeeze put as much value by selling here first. Good deals get snatched up quickly.

I guess I could give it a shot again. I My last listings sat around forever, and I thought I was asking a very fair price.

honestly when you find out how much a store will offer, it will hurt.

I once did consignment deal with a shop. His fees were worth my time. He sold stuff for more than I could.

That said, you can see what is desirable here, and rapidly sell with reasonable prices.

Post what you have here first and see if you can move it. Beats the other options.

+1 for Pinto's. They actually move guns vs. treat their store like a museum that occasionally sells a gun to a sucker. Hell, I live 6 hours away and still check their gun list online just in case some unicorn walks into their shop.

My general thinking is:

If you gotta bump your thread, your deal isn't a deal. And the more bumps I see on a thread, I got more ammo for a lowball because the market has spoken.

A lot of Ppl on here know value and know what they want.

You can keep your listing up all you want, maybe the single fish gets hooked.

Consignment at a store is a great idea. There are a lot of ppl that only buy from stores (used/new and priced above private). Something about mood and vibe and IMPULSE - I WANT IT NOW.

Post them here now. Then figure out a shop to sell them to. At least they are on the market.
