Looking to Sell a Handgun - Any advice?

Vegas_Dave · 02-24-2008, 04:24 PM

I have a Smith & Wesson "Chief's Special" CS9 handgun that I want to sell in order to purchase a Glock 19C (wife says I can only have 1).

I have never sold a handgun before and wanted to see if there was anyone here with advice on the easiest (yet still legal) way to sell it.

Its a good little gun, I just enjoy shooting the Glock's more.

9mm
3" barrel
7+1 capacity
black (or properly called blue)
has had only about 300 total rounds shot through it

Any suggestions???

Once you agree on a price, pull your gun on the buyer and make him give you more.

Of course, recognize that he'll get the gun after that.

Not quite the advice I was looking for...

get market value in your LV area.... to determine price, go to a gun store?

sell it to a gambling addict, then, when he is down on his luck, buy it back cheap. Tell your wife that it was too good of a deal to pass up. Then you get to have both.

Spread the word to friends, co-workers etc. and maybe you can just sell it to one of them. No worries or difficulties then I would not think. Just some sort of a transfer of ownership paper work I would think.

Lie to your wife and keep it in your car.

go into a gun store, wait for someone wanting to buy a gun now. When the clerk says they can't sell a gun to them before they have a license, follow the upset customer out the door and offer him your gun at black market value.

You asked your wife if you could get a second gun?

You need to emphasise to your wife the need for a Right hand gun and a Left hand gun. By designating a right hand and a left hand, technically you'll have one of each.

Actually, most gun dealers are willing to consider trade-ins and sometimes can give you a pretty good deal on trade. If the dealer you are talking to won't trade, shop around. Glocks are common enough that someone in a big town like Vegas should have a dealer that has one that will trade.

Grow a pod, keep the gun and buy yourself the Glock. Never sell a good gun.

Wives come and go. Firearms last forever. Let's weigh some pros and cons:

You can leave a gun at home if you don't feel like carrying it; Wives argue when you don't want to take them out.

You can have sex with a wife; with a gun, you can have sex with whomever you want.

All it takes to get a gun "ready to go" is your thumb; Wives? Well some require four fingers..........

All states have different laws. I would call your local sherrif's office. I like guns too much to do something that might jeopardize my ability to have them in the future. Good luck. Jeff

When you take a wife to the mall, you have to fight the crowds. When you take a gun to the mall, people get out of your way.

First, make your wife sell all her jewelry except one ring or one necklace. If she's not willing to do that, you're entitled keep any guns you can afford.
