I don't think people are going to want to send you a copy of their CHL. You can probably get away with asking to see their Texas DL and CHL but I'm not sure about a permanent copy for your records.
And don't ask about a Bill of Sale... bad things will happen if you do

It's just not required here in Texas and some people take an exception to it. At the end of the day, it will just reduce the number of people that might be interested in purchasing the firearm....
plus you'll get an earful from forum members

It's proof of a purchase, correct? Particularly in a local environment the purchaser might like such a thing.
For the seller (and purchaser), it provides some documentation of the item's fate. That seems appealing to me.

Ive sold on gunbroker. (higher sale price, hassle of shipping)
Ive sold on texasguntalk. (was local and easy)
Ive sold at the gun show. (costs $10 to sell, will gets lots of interest and low ball offers but ive been happy the few times ive done this. Can also trade easily)
Ive sold on consignment at the LGS. (good prices, may take a while)
Ive sold out right and traded at the LGS (instant cash, lowest price, easiest)
Im terribly impatient. I also dont have time or energy to deal with leaving a gun in a shop or listed online for weeks and weeks. I wish i did but i dont.
Asking for a bill of sale or CHL will greatly reduce your sale price and ease of sale.
Call/email some shops in your area. A good thing about consignment is they can help you price them appropriately.
When selling privately unless i know the person i ask to see a CHL. I dont make a copy or ask for bill of sale.

Its very unappealing to me. You need the cash and i want the gun or vice versa. If i have the slight feeling you might be restricted as per texas law i wont even deal with you. However, thus far i havent dealt with anyone like that. If you have a great price and someone is that hard up for what youre selling they might bite even with a BoS. But mostly youre reducing your client base by doing so.

A request for a BoS tells me the seller doesn't know the law, and therefore isn't someone I care to deal with. They wanna SEE my TDL, that's cool. They want my verbal affirmation that I can legally own/buy a firearm, that's fine.
A BoS has NO legal standing, is NOT admissible in court, and is something I will *not* do. Period.

"A request for a BoS tells me the seller doesn't know the law, and therefore isn't someone I care to deal with."
I beg your pardon, sir. To me, a BoS is not sought for legal purposes, at least not in the sense that you're imputing. If you bought a used car from someone, you might as well expect they'd want a BoS. Why should a firearm purchase be any different?
I agree that it doesn't replace a NICS but it ought to be able to show that the firearm was indeed sold to another person. If this is what you are referring to as "inadmissible" in Texas, I guess I will explore other potential avenues for sales of a nice collection of pre-ban, NIB stuff.

That's what he is implying. You wont find anyone as vehemently opposed to a BOS as TR. I don't like them, would rather not deal with it, but if it's a good deal, it ain't gonna stop me.
Think of this, what's to stop me from selling a gun and then forging a document that says you bought it. Without being notorized, it's junk. Sure there is signified analysis and so forth, let me know how that goes for you in court.

Yep, even though this forum has gained a lot of attention and new members i deal with complete confidence when i buy/sell on here or any other forum ive been a long standing member of. But mainly this forum because of how most of us interact here.
