3 Tips to Ensure You Get the Best Value for Your Gun Sale

By
If you are planning to sell a firearm soon, you likely not only want to sell it quickly but also at a fair price. Whether you are using the money to fund your dream gun purchase or other reasons, there is more to getting the best sale price for your guns than simply posting them and sitting back. If you want to get the absolute best value for your item, try these three things.

Guns

Post Clear Pictures and Optimize Your Description

Before setting the price on your online listing, take the time to make your gun look as sellable as possible. While many buyers will pull the trigger on an item simply because it is the specific model they are looking for, more information could help bump the sale price up. If you take clear pictures of your gun showcasing its condition and fill your product description with specs and unique details, you can make your listing more enticing. Do not forget to add keywords to your listing as well and fill out any platform-specific details to help give your listing a boost in site search results.

Research the True Value of Your Gun

Now the all-important question: What should you price your gun? While you could go off of the price you originally paid for it minus a few percentage points for use, it is important to consider that some gun values rise over time as the firearm becomes more collectible. The only way to know is to do your research and to see what other similar models have sold for in the past. It is important to distinguish that just because someone else listed their gun for a certain price does not mean that people are willing to pay that. If you would like to get more in-depth, consider purchasing a pricing report from a site such as GunBroker.com, for example.

Try an Auction

There are plenty of benefits of listing your firearm for sale through an auction. For one, you can attract buyers that might be looking for a deal only for a bidding war to ensue, driving up the price. Additionally, an auction might prove that your initial price assumption might have been too low as the market determines the gun is actually worth more. Although auctions can be potentially risky, if your item gains enough exposure in the listing results and you have provided clear photos and a detailed description, you could fetch more for your gun than you anticipated.

It’s the rare fan of firearms who doesn’t appreciate having at least one conversation piece in their collection. That can be a family heirloom, a homemade build, or a favorite shooter. However, a home-run option for a gun people will talk about is gifting your favorite gun enthusiast a high-quality but distinctive firearm. That could be an antique or vintage model, like a Dreyse M1907, or something new and unique, like the Kel Tec KSG . Give them something to talk about with one of the following distinctive gun gifts. 50 Beowulf Dreyse M1907 The Dreyse is a unique and certainly distinctive looking early automatic.

Because this antique firearm tends to be overshadowed by the famous FN 1900, you can often find them relatively inexpensively. Despite their usually modest price, they have a reput

Whether you are going hunting with your Beretta A300 Outlander or taking a highly specialized AR 15 to an out-of-state competition, flying with a firearm might seem complex if you have never done it before. However, there are ways you can streamline the process to make it as simple as possible. This means you will not have to arrive at the airport too much earlier than you would for a typical flight. Here are five tips you should know about packing and declaring your firearm for your next flight. Use the Right Kind of Lock First, you will need the right kind of lock. Do not use any standard, TSA-approved lock to keep your firearms safe. Instead, use a heavy-duty lock on your case. Always keep a key on your person, but do not bring extra copies in your checked luggage. Otherwise, if you use a TSA-approved lock or have copies of the key, it is entirely possible that your gun case could be empty when you grab it off the carousel at your destination.
