First gun sale

Post by Cofisher » Tue Jan 28, 2025 6:19 pm

When my son passed, I was left with a few firearms I didn't aquire for myself. I've never sold a gun. What I get, I keep.

Not so with one of his pistols. A PX4 Storm in 40 cal. Really not my style.

So, off to the LGS. He will sell it, for 15% is that a decent charge? I know nothing of gun sales. He's a good guy and I like supporting him.

Any body here interested?

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Not a fan either, I have sold and traded only a few.
I have gifted the kids with a few over the years.
I'd say 15% would be fair.

Most of the consignments around here are between 30 and 40% sale price. From the shop's perspective, it's a lot easier and more profitable to simply encourage people to sell the gun to the shop versus consignment.

so yea, 15% is a heck of a consignment fee. It's a good deal.

FWIW, I've two PX4's, one full-size and one compact. I like them both. The LTT px4 compact is my daily carry gun.
