These are mostly C&R guns, a few modern. I'd run the auctions and the buyer would send his FFL to the local. I'd bring the gun in, boxed and ready but open so it could be logged in and out. I'm looking for someone where the fees would allow me to keep some of the money.
I live on Sedalia so a southwest Denver area or Tech Center location would be best.
If you're the FFL or have contact info for one please PM me.

AFAIK guns do not need to be shipped from an FFL, only TO an FFl. I have sold guns on GB and thats how it worked for me.
If you situation is different ignore and proceed.
He's correct. Anyone can ship a firearm to an FFL dealer. If the dealer in question won't accept one from a non-FFL, he's either dumb or greedy. Or both.
The only thing you have to be careful about is the carriers themselves. UPS wants all handguns handled via overnight. It's stupid. ATF doesn't care how it arrives, that's just UPS' rule. Post office will only accept handguns from dealers with appropriate paperwork. Not sure about fedex, I don't ship with them. Rifles are ok with every carrier.

Also on a side note, make sure not to label it a gun or forearms related in the address ETC as it is very likely to get stolen.
Green Mountain Guns in Lakewood does consignment sales, but I'm not sure how they work it.

I used to have a C&R FFL and I know I can ship directly from a UPS or Fedex hub. I still ran into clerks who were real jerks about it and would demand my FFL. UPS people tended to be know the rules but it varied at Fedex. The post office is even worse. A C&R FFL cannot ship handguns through the post office but could do rifles. I gave up with them since it was usually a PITA. A supervisor generally had to get involved. USPS insurance used to cost way more than UPS or Fedex.
