That's the plan

Don't know what part of town you're in but go see Dave and Amy at Lone Star Defense and Arms. I'm sure they would treat you well.

I think he was asking if he could do a FTF deal inside a gun shop.

I suggest going back to Gander Mountain where you bought it, tell them about the problem and see if you can get a refund, assuming it is still unfired, of course. Barring that, ask them if you can do a FTF private sale inside their shop or if they will sell it for you on consignment.

As a gander employee I will tell you that they probably won't take it back and will not let you sell it to someone else in the store, but probably won't have a problem with you selling it in the parking lot by your car lol.

I also don't believe they do consignment. If you want to sell it back they will offer you 60% of its book value.
I say they because I am not speaking on behalf of gander, just giving my input as to what will most likely happen

Sorry about the super late reply guys. Just went to Carter's Country and got a quote for $350 and yea... that got a big no from me. Gander has a no return policy for handguns so thats a no go. I'm willing to take a small loss but not 800 dollars of it. So yea still have to figure out how much I can actually sell this for and when I'm qualified I'll post up an ad here. And thanks for the advise, still don't like the idea for the parking lot thing but I guess I'll have to deal with it.

Actually, you are qualified to post an ad. You were grandfathered in before the post count change by your sign up date. You may have to ask a mod to help get it posted though because of the forum settings.

I usually go to gunbroker to research gun values. Mine are always used so I take about ten percent off and go from there. That leaves me room for negotiation.

Ha. Funny no one noticed that before.

I saw where you mentioned his join date and it dawned on me.

I see that consignment sale is suggested and while I have done that several times in the past. None of the gun stores in my area will do it anymore, even ones with very little inventory. My suggestion would be to hide it if you still live with your parents until you get a place of your own, if you are married get rid of it the best way you can!

TGT is a good place to find a buyer. I have never been stood up or lied to about a purchase. My preference is to meet at a shooting range, since examining a gun there will yield little oversight by others in the vicinty. GLWS.

I have had quite a few transactions from TGT members. Majority from before iTrader went down. All of them have been 100% except for one that changed his mind last minute while I was already heading towards the other side of town.

Wasn't me, was it?

 

[Orbie]

Lol no Charlie! You got good feedback and more importantly you did not back out of transaction.

I drove from Corpus Christi to SA to buy a gun once from a member here. The wife joined me and made a day out if it....good wife...:-)

 

[Charlie]

I didn't think so, but wanted to be sure!

Corpus, San Antonio?!? What the hell, man? This is the HOUSTON sub-forum! GTFO!

 

[Orbie]

Ha! I didn't realize I was in the Houston sub. I just always click on "new posts".
