Selling a gun for the first time...

[00tec]

Public place, but not so public to alarm the sheeple that you are showing a gun in a parking lot. I've done park & rides, restaurant parking lots, etc. A sporting good store is a good choice since the audience there is usually 2A friendly.

No form. Just ensure it's a Colorado ID since you cannot sell to a non resident.

Watch out for baiting by the feds. Sometimes they try to talk you into illegal stuff (shipping out of state, straw purchases, etc.)

You can take someone, but remember, the buyer may have the same concerns you do about getting ripped off, so don't show up with a giant posse and scare em off. If you do take someone, try to take someone who has done this kind of thing before.

Check feedback for members here. Definitely helps, but keep in mind that even if they don't have feedback, they have to start somewhere. I always end up with phone numbers of the people I deal with as well.

Word of mouth sales.

Who do you shoot with? Have you talked to your friends about the firear, you would like to sell? Family members? Selling to people you know makes things much simpler all around.

Find someone on this board who you trust based on their location and their posts. Someone who you believe could help you through your first transaction. Do most of your talking face to face, over the phone, via email, or PM. What you post here in this thread is public information.

If nothing else, talk to one of your local gun shops.

Do you know what your firearm is worth today. Correct pricing is the key to a quick sale.

Be safe.
