Can I sell on GB no shipping, local pickup only?

Wulfmann
I have primers and powder I want to sell.
Gun shows are cancelled and I do not have a Hazmat license.
Can I place a regular "sell" ad with the stipulation local pickup only no shipping?

    If you are in Orlando or pretty much anywhere in Florida, Im interested. Of course through GB.

      I really thing you can and I don't see why you could not. Good luck. Just make sure you stipulate that in the sale of course in BIG BOLD LETTERS.

    I would certainly make it clear they have to come to my house in E-C FL and email a copy of their DL so I have a record and know who is exiting the car
    I have been selling on occasion on GB since I think 2005 but I have never sold under these circumstances requiring no shipping and it is better to ask than assume.
    Have to think it would be a small audience LOL

    Please don't PM me asking about a side deal but I can put on a specific primer or powder on the auction site (if I have it).
    I was thinking cases of 5000 primers as an example as I can't imagine someone driving 50-60 miles for one pound of H335 or a K of SP primers.

     I am 100% certain Warbirds was not referring to that. Not my busy but there are a bunch of good guys here.

    Yes you can insist on local pickup. When you list your items and arrive at "What classes of shipping do you support?" be sure to check the OTHER box.  Then, under the heading: "Who Pays Shipping," check the box for "See Item Description / Additional Terms of Sale," and make it clear in the listing that local pickup is the only option. I did exactly this during the first Obama Scare selling some powder, primers, and some old reloading equipment. The winner drove all the way from San Diego (90 minutes away) to pick it up.

    Wulfmann, I have been known to drive further for a pound of powder or 1000 primers.

    Thanks MC, good advice and I admit I can drive too far if I am motivated

    There was a time during the Obummer years that I would have driven 100 miles for a pound of H335!

    Does this look OK?
    Your opinions appreciated before I list primers and other powders.

    Instead of "No Shipping" I would word it as "Cannot Ship." Just my opinion. Otherwise this listing looks fine.

    Hmmmm, can not is improper grammar but most see it that way. I think I will ad that (grammatically it infers I am physically incapable of shipping when by law I "may not" ship it. I was corrected when writing a story for this more than once)
