I have recently found that it is nearly impossible to sell a firearm locally. Over the last six months I have tried to sell three guns (Sig Sauer p224, Smith & Wesson 360j, and Smith & Wesson M&P 40). The 360j took about a month to sell and even then I ended up having to meet a guy halfway that lived 4 hours away from me. The p224 and the M&P 40 on the other hand just sat on my local sales website without anyone even sending me an email about them. I have lowered the price on both of them little by little to the point that I would rather keep them than lower them anymore. The prices got down to $425 for the Sig and $360 for the M&P which I would consider to be really good prices since both were in near perfect condition. Even at those prices there were still no takers in my area, so I decided to take the Sig to my lgs to see what they would give me for it. I had never tried trading a gun in before due to the stories I had always heard of shops offering really low prices, but I figured I might as well try. They offered me $550 for the Sig on trade in. The same Sig that I couldn't sell in nearly 6 months locally asking as low as $425 for it. I ended up happily trading it in on a Glock 29. I also asked about the M&P 40 and the clerk said they would give $400 trade in on it if it was in the condition that I said it was in. It amazed me that both guns can be traded in for more than I can sell them for locally. Is the local used gun market this bad for anyone else or is it just my area?
