GunBroker.com

 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.
