Need some pointers on used gun stores in Denver area

[funkymonkey1111]

Also need an idea of any shops in town who give fair offers on used guns. Trying to sell a few guns while I am in town. (Bergara, Ruger 10/22, Rem 870) due to my recent back surgery and not being able to shoot as much as I had hoped.

I know Cabelas and Sportsmans both buy guns but I dont want to get only 60% of value.

Cabela's is going to pay you more than any independent shop

Did Old Steel move again? Went by the other day and the building is for rent.....

Yes, the new address is on the Old Steel web site.
Also, there is a link to all the guns that they have listed for sale on GunBroker.
The shop now has a very nice breech loading howitzer on display.

Been to both of Old Steel's previous shops, they have some cool stuff for sure! But damn pricey.

I found an older LSI/Rossi 92 Short Rifle in .44-40 there once that was in on consignment. It was pretty filthy, but you could tell it was unfired - no brass markings on the loading gate or carrier, no soot anywhere. But the consignee hadn't put a price on it, so I couldn't buy it. Called them for weeks, the guy never priced it and finally pulled it out and kept it. I had the cash in hand too, made my ass red.....

The Firing Line in Aurora can also have some interesting items in their used cases. I have picked-up some good deals there.

I went to Old Steel for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I agree that it is a nice shop but overpriced. The kicker for me was that they charged a $35 fee for "paperwork" when I bought a gun. While it included the $10.50 CBI fee I have never, ever had a shop charge a fee when purchasing a gun they had in stock. Private transfers yes. Receiving a gun bought online yes. But charging a fee for a gun in inventory? C'mon

Old Steel in Littleton is certainly worth your time to visit!

I think they have over 200 guns to sell at the moment, most are used.
The shop itself is very much a mini museum and enjoyable to explore.

Yup-a cool place to look around but there are other shops I’ll give my hard earned dollars to.

Stopped by Old Steel's new location yesterday, nice place. All their stuff is very high priced, but I saw one thing I thought was reasonable - a RIA .45 1911 for $449.

Foothills and Old West Arms.
