Any of y'all ever sell through gunbroker? If so, was it fairly painless? Your input is genuinely appreciated!!  |

Yes, both. When I shipped I brought it to my favorite FFL to ship it for me. I didn't have to, but the peace of mind was worth it to me. If selling on there, just make sure you get a copy of the FFL License, and double check to make sure that it is a valid (i.e. up to date) license if shipping out of state. Very painless.

Parson, here's the rules summarized: A nonlicensee may mail a shotgun or rifle to a resident of his or her own state or to a licensee in any state. Handguns are not mailable. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. A nonlicensee may not transfer any firearm to a nonlicensed resident of another state.
as far as using gunbroker, I am an ffl and use it. You will realize "fair market value" with your sale but transfer fees, gunbroker fees, etc can eat into the gross realized pretty quick.
As a suggestion you might try indiana gun owners forums. If its priced to sell on there it might sell and you can do a face to face sale in Indiana. Just verify buyer is a proper person by requesting a license to carry and write down his/her personal info to CYA.

Steve Steve: Even though it was OK for me to UPS a handgun to a person't FFL in another state, I had my FFL do it. That person that bought this particular revolver said they were an FFL and sent me the license. It had expired less than a week prior and I said I couldn't sent it unless I had a current one. For whatever reason it took a while to get a current copy and by then I wanted to have all my ducks in a row "just in case" so I had my FFL send it to him. My FFL made a call somewhere to verify that the FFL License was good and not a fake. |

My FFL made a call somewhere to verify that the FFL License was good and not a fake. Essup, I was addressing the original question, not how you shipped. I wouldn't have shipped to an expired license either it's just as illegal for me, technically he's unlicensed. Any firearm can be shipped to a licensee by a non licensee in another state. The problem one may encounter as an individual shipping a handgun is with the shipper. USPS won't ship a handgun for a non licensee, They will for an ffl. So it's ups or fed ex and there's been occasions where the counter person, especially at fed ex, didn't know the rules and refused to ship if the shipping person wasn't an ffl. A nonlicensee may ship a firearm by carrier to a resident of his or her own state or to a licensee in any state. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun.

I have been a member of INGO for several years, and have sold quite a few items there. In fact, I currently have one item listed. I've been curious about gunbroker for sometime and thought that I'd ask some who have "been there, done that". I can see where the fees might take a pretty big chunk from the bottom line. I appreciate the responses from all. |
