My collection has grown greatly in the last few years and there are a few that didn't work out or duplicate other needs. So I'm in the position of needing to sell a few guns, but I'm not really experienced on how to go about that. In the past I've just sold to friends or family, but in this case they aren't interested.
As with a lot of stuff, I assume a private sale will get me the most return. I'm in the process of trying that with a pistol on the local state Armslist. So far that isn't really generating much interest. Gunbroker is another option, but that's a more complicated thing to deal with so I'd rather avoid that hassle.
Which leads me to the trade-in option. In this particular case I'm thinking of using the gun I'm selling to mostly pay for a gun I want. What can I expect from a FFL in that situation? 50%? Or would it be less?
Just looking for general advice, I guess.
