First time poster here so forgive me if this post isn't in the correct place.
I have 3 guns (all shotguns, specifics listed below) I will be selling and am looking for advice for selling them. I'm not sure what website to sell from, anyone recommend gunbroker.com or gunsamerica? Is one better/easier/more active than the other?
What are some good things to know when selling? As far as I know I do not need an FFL to sell but the buyer does? And I can check that using this link https://www.atfonline.gov/fflezcheck/ . I live in Virginia.
As far as shipping goes I read through the sticky on this site and it looks like since I'm selling shotguns/rifles I can ship via USPS with insurance and I do not have to tell them it's a gun? I have sold and shipped tons of music gear equipment including amps, guitars, effects pedals, etc so I'm not too worried about actually packing up the gun unless I need to take it apart or anything like that.
I'm not sure how to price guns. It looks like it may be similar to music equipment in that you price the used item 70-80% of the new value if it isn't vintage. Is that right? The guns I am selling are: 2 Browning Over/Under shotguns (I think they are Citori, I have to double check), and 1 Benelli shotgun (I have to check which model it is but I know my Grandfather paid around 1300ish for it from Greentop about 10-15 years ago if that helps).
Browning "Magnum Envelope" Auto % Special Steel 3" 32" barrel Made in Belgium
Browning "White Lightning" Citori Over/Under 2-3/4" and 3" Made in Japan
Benelli Legacy 12 26" 2-3/4" & 3"
I'll edit the post once I have the specifics on the models. Thanks for any help!
