I'm ready to sell some guns, have questions

Forkliftking
My wife and I are building a new house and I need to sell some guns of mine. I live in Ky. If I list them on gunbroker, how much should I charge for shipping of handguns or long guns? I have no ffl in my area willing to help with shipping so I will be shipping myself. Thanks in advance.

    Handgun shipping costs for individuals are outrageous. Be sure to mention in your auction copy.

    UPS and FedEx both require overnight shipping to keep their employees from stealing!

    What about listing them as pickup only? Would that work?

    Be sure the buyers ffl will accept guns from an non=ffl. Some won't.

    yeah but then you lose the benefit of a nationwide auction. I'm not going to drive from WA state to wherever you are to pick it up.

    I wouldn't have anything listed about pick up...if they are local to you they usually ask about that themselves. You are looking at $35 for shipping using UPS or Fed Ex on handguns....and you can ship a long gun by ground so it is anywhere from $18 an up depending on the size of the box.

    The only problem I see you may have is with UPS or Fed Ex....I shipped a box not long ago and the UPS pick up call I made was a tedious nightmare. The woman WAS NOT going to ship my package because it was a gun. It took forever and ever being put on hold over and over again. She finally did what she was supposed to....only because I am a dealer and have a license. I would definately TAKE your packages to a shipping place...not pick up.

    If it was only $35 I would consider that a bargain. It cost me almost $60 to ship a Super Blackhawk...

    WOW!

    I would just list...."buyer pays actual shipping cost"...it covers everything and you can call at the auction end to get prices on shipping.

    $60...that is crazy!

    Your shipping for handguns can be SECOND DAY AIR- adult signature required. Go to the UPS website, and price it out. It DO get a tad pricy, but is better than overnight. Better yet, use the "find a FFL" function on home page- THEY can use US Mail. May be cheaper to pay FFL to ship for you than ship yourself.
