Have any of you used GunBroker.com or similar services to sell guns? I have several guns in my safe that it I think I should sell before moving to Tennessee. These are guns for which I do not see any particular utility (the S&W 629 .44 Magnum was bought for camping in grizzly bear country).
Moving will require me to ship them. I will not be driving there, and UBox and PODS both prohibit shipping guns in their containers. I could ship them to my new home but that requires me to have a new home address before we leave Idaho. It is just barely possible (and my preference) we might sell our Idaho house first, stay in an AirBnb for a few weeks while buying a new house. I could ship to an FFL in Tennessee, but if I do not need them at the far end, liberating the capital and decluttering my gun safe would be good.
I could sell them here but I would prefer some confidence that they were not going to prohibited persons. An auction site is likely to get a better price as well.
The guns that want good homes are
1. A S&W 629 .44 Magnum stainless steel. I have fired less than 50 rounds through it all shortly after I bought it in the 1990s. It has the original box.
2 A Remington 870 12 gauge riot gun (18" barrel). This has the three round magazine extension. Shortly after I bought this, Remington started dimpling the 5 round magazine so these magazine extensions would not work. This has been fired less than 40 times. I have not fired it in at least 15 years.
3. A Ruger 10/22 with a 3x-9x scope and a sling. I have no idea how old it is. I bought it used in 1990 just before California banned private firearms transfers. It functions perfectly. I have a dozen or so 25 round magazines for it.
4. A Remington Model 7 bolt action in .308 Winchester with a 4x-12x 40mm scope. I have no idea how old it is. I bought it used in 1990. It functions perfectly.
5. NIB Browning Hi-Power. I am not sure if this is dark blued or Parkerized.
