Bill of sale/contract when selling guns?

[Acera]

Glad to see over 70% of the members realize that there is no need to deal with that dangerous foolishness.

(caveat: unless your local or state laws require it.)

Just about everyone in this state has a CCW. We've had it for a long, long time, and it's not hard or expensive to get. There's really no excuse for not having one here.

Not to get into another fact v. your ideas of facts like the Soviet ammunition discussion, but what state do you live in? There are only 3 states that report over 10% of the population licensed. That means almost 90% of those states are unlicensed, so not 'just about everyone in this state'. Nation wide only about 5% of the population has a carry permit.

Okay, first off, am I the only one who follows the rules around here? That's another thread, and I would invite you to be part of the discussion. And actually contribute something other than a driveby snide remark.

I'm not talking about the general populace, but the people I sell guns to, namely people on the local forums. In other words, fellow gun nuts. What, do you think I just take an ad out in the paper? Get a clue.

Don't forget the states that do not require a permit to carry either openly or concealed.

And God bless them!

Interesting. My State doesn't require getting a permit to conceal carry. The only reason they even have a permit system is for reciprocity with other States (which is really the only reason I keep mine).

Yea, there are something like ten constitutional carry states now. Unfortunately, my state isn't amongst them. You have to have a permit to carry, whether its open or concealed.

Guys you gotta ignore a lot of what grampajack says. He comes off with a bunch of hyperbole that can't be supported by facts, then gets chapped if you point it out. Fortunately he then craw-fishes and changes his story to fit his new idea. Good news is his treads are usually entertaining to watch

Yes grampajack, take out an ad in the local paper, craigslist (ways around their ban on guns), community bulletin boards, auction sites, flea markets, garage sale sites, etc. All ways to showcase your item to more people who may want to buy it.


It is always a good idea to not limit your possible pool of (legal to purchase) customers. By requiring something like a CHL, you drop your potential base to less than 10%, and most likely 5% in most states. To get the best price, don't limit yourself to a small group of people. Not saying take it to the hood and look for a guy on a street corner, but news flash, not everyone interested in purchasing a firearm reads every web forum. Go to a live auction and see how out of touch with current pricing that a lot of the bidders are. You need to find those folks outside the auction. I have had better luck getting away from gun forums to get a faster sell and a better price.

I still list on here and other gun related places when I want to sell, but also cross list on other sites that expose my item to a wider population. (I know guys who sell on Facebook, they have tricks to avoid the wrath of the mods there.) The more common stuff sells faster and usually at a better price in my personal experience. Once had a local sporting goods store that has a board for customers to post for sale ads, seen those in other stores also. I've bought a nice shotgun from a slip of paper I found in a job-site construction trailer. A craftsman needed some fast cash, made a deal. Lots of places to find your next customer.

This is really Marketing 101. Don't place limits on your chances for success.

Give me one example.

Nah! It looks like folks long ago ran out of useful things to say.
