How do I legally sell my personal guns in WV?
I live in WV and own a AR-15 Bushmaster, Tactical .12 ga Mossburg & other weapons. How do I sell them legally? I have a military spinal cord injury and can no longer enjoy shooting sports and hunting. Most are long guns, but I also have a Colt 1991-A1 .45 semi. and a Rossi S & W J frame Stainless Steel .38. All are like new condition and well cared for. Do I need to have a dealer sell them and give up a commission?
I have sold some of my extra guns on www.auctionarms.com
1. Register to use the site to sell your guns, it is free.
2. Search the site for guns like the ones you want to sell, that will give you an idea of what to ask for yours.
3. Take some good quality photos of your guns on a digital camera.
4. Posting the weapons for sale on the web site is a fairly straight forward process. Just a little tricky getting photos loaded, but not that hard.
5. Describe your weapons fairly.
6. Auctionarms will charge you a 2 1/2 percent sales commission on your sale, which is dirt cheap.
7. When you look at other guns for sale you will note that all of them ask the buyer to send a signed copy of a dealer's FFL. You have to do the same.
8. Once someone has won your auction they will send you the purchase price (money order) PLUS shipping charges, and the FFL. Once you get the money and the FFL you then ship or mail the gun to the FFL dealer. That dealer, when he gets your gun will have the new owner fill out the necessary federal paperwork and transfer the gun to him.
Having a local dealer sell the guns on consignment for you will generally cost you a 10% commission.
Recently I sold off one of my Ruger .45 LC Vaquero revolvers. Once I got the buyer's money order and FFL, I packaged the gun in one of those U.S. Post Office boxes that you can mail everything for $10 in, and mailed it to the FFL dealer.
And, Yes, that is prefectly legal. As long as the gun is going to a FFL dealer, you can mail a gun.
You won't be able to mail a rifle, generally too long. I'd advise asking your local dealer to ship the gun for you. Some of them have deals worked out with shippers for better rates.
Thank you for your service. God bless you.
