I have a few SxSs I need to thin from my gun safe and I will list them here first but I also have a nice Winchester 401SL with case and shells to sell. Which on-line sites do you prefer when you sell guns on-line? Why? What are the basic differances in the sites? Any words of advice since I have never done this are appreciated.

Thanks.

I recommend Guns International. Dave is a great guy and he has built up a website that is very easy to use. I have had good success using his site.

plus 2 for Guns International. I no longer go to Guns America. For auctions use either Gunbroker or Auction Arms. I think the first gets better traffic.

Guns International seems to be the most used by the most sellers and the access and navigation is quick and easy, what's not to like? My go-to choice.

Tom,

Any mid-grade Elsies?

Not sure why I like them so much but L C Smith appeal to me. Looking for a Specialty grade anything but with DT not the Hunter One single trigger. Just in case...

Tom, Dave Powell's Gunsinternational is the way to go like the other guys said. Price the guns reasonably and they will sell, price like the dealers and you will sit on them for a long time in this economy! Good luck!

L.C Smiths appeal to you because you have picked one up and used it...there is something hard to define but definitely present, and after all "You ain't got a thing if you ain't got that swing..."

Sounds like Guns International is the way to go. Thanks.

I did not intend to sell the Winchester through the general listing, however I have recieved a number of responses. If it sells, $20 to Dave.

Sorry guys, no L.C.s Nothing fancy. One Stevens 5100 - 20 gauge w/ LOM and a nice Renato Gamba Hunter Special. I may post them later this weekend if I have time.

Well, since you asked, my advice is to NOT say in the listing: "Sorry, no sales to California." If you are a private party, there is no reason not to ship to CA, because the rules for long guns are the same as for any other state. Besides, there are about 38 million people in CA, and that's a lot of potential buyers.
