I buy and sell a few guns. Some on this website and others. I was talking to a friend today who owns a deer stand company. He makes them, sells them, delivers and sets them up. He also has his FFL and sells a few guns inside his office. Driving down the road you would never know that he sells guns.
He asked me to give him some of my guns that I wanted to sell. He would handle and give me my sell price. He told me he wants 25% of the total sell. So, a gun that I would try to sell for $500, he is going to price at $666. Seems like a pretty high markup. Again, selling guns is not his main business, just a side business really. He has about 10 pistols and a few less rifles and shotguns that he is trying to sell.
Does his markup seem high to anyone else? I've never put a gun on consignment and just need to know if this pricing is normal. I think I've read that most the companies on Gunbroker take 15%.
