If the buyer is out of state, you just send it to the dealer of their choice. You don't need to unregister it here (this is why the registry is not particularly useful).

Make sure you get a copy of the FFL certificate of the dealer, of course, so you can confirm they're legit:

this and I have sold on GB, you cannot use paypal for firearms.

OK thanks.- so what is the best way to receive funds?

Cashiers Check, or Money Order, or if you allow Visa, MC type payment, but unless you are a store it is understandable you cannot.

Until the check or MO clears, DO NOT send the item

if you have a zero (0) rating, you will have a hard time selling a gun on gunbroker. Noone will want to bid on a item where their rating is low. Your best bet if you really want to sell some items on GB is to buy some items on there to get a decent rating, then start selling on GB.

I would post it on here first, thats your best bet.

I've sold a lot on GB. If you start out with a 0 rating ask in the description for them to contact you before bidding to reassure you’re not a con person. And discuss the terms of the sale with them. I always do Money order and shop from a dealer that you can work with.

If you mail a handgun, it is supposed to go through ups or fedex overnight. A long gun can go through usps. If mailing yourself, I suggest signature confirmation, and insurance. Or just use a ffl, if the price is reasonable. The common payment type to accept is a postal money order. They can be verified at the post office, so there isn't a delay in shipping. There are also a lot of "hometown" forums, and other misc forums that you can post on for free. Examples are mdshooters, pafoa, vaguntrader, ar15.com, THR, ect.

Yes, there is a listing fee depending on how aggressive you want your ad to be and them a % fee when it sells.

Any cautionary tales about selling on GB? I've been burned so many times buying that I now use it only as a picture and price reference or for parts.

If you select a reputable dealer with high ratings it should be ok. Ask questions and don't trust poor quality pictures. If its a private seller there is more risk. On another board like gunboards look for a high post count, good pics, a rating and get the sellers personal information, phone number, real name, address - not a p.o. box and ask questions.

If you treat GB like eBay and follow the same rules, you should be fine. Only time I've ever been scammed on a gun-related deal was someone selling me a fake C-More... and I got my money back pretty easily. (And, incidentally, the fake C-More was "accidentally" broken by myself when I attempted to remove the diode, so no one else should be seeing it, either. ) But that was a case where I took a chance on a low-rated seller (on Amazon) and got burned.
