    I'm just curious as the best way to sell one of my pistols. I'm thinking of waiting to take it to one of the gun shows down here. Do they typically make good offers?

    No. Never. Best bet is to list in on this site or over on the gunboards forum. What are you trying to sell?

    I take guns to gun shows to sell, but to other attendees mainly
    the dealers can be as heartless as a pawnbroker

    I just take the gun and a sign saying what it is and what I'm asking for it
    good luck

    This does seem to work if the right person wanting to buy happens to walk by. Stull have to pay to get in and all that jazz though. I avoid the shows like the plague though. Personal preference only though.

    It all comes down to what you sell though



    Eta: there's an out-of-context in there somewhere, too, vmax...

    Stick around a while, your post count will come up.

    If nothing else you have a relatively captive audience here. I guarantee everyone is wondering what you're selling :)

    Like I said, it is like Craiglist. Scammers and the sort on there so be careful.

    Get to posting and list it here too. 25 posts is nothing for somebody that likes to talk about guns.

    Also, you may want to join a forum for that specific brand/type of weapon. Then list there. You know your ad will be seen by those who already are interested in your specific offering.

    I read in another thread about a range day. I would love to do this. But I'll post in that thread about it.

    Get a few more posts and put it in the classified section. Be sure to read the rules in the thread at the top of the section.
