Thank you for your interest is selling your guns online with GunsInternational.com. 
Be confident that you have chosen the right spot to sell your guns and gun related items. GunsInternational.com gun classifieds currently have over 100,000 guns for sale by numerous dealers and collectors alike. GunsInternational.com’s sellers include the most well respected dealers in the country; from very large dealers to the small specialty dealers, as well as collectors with perhaps just one gun to sell. GunsInternational.com is the #1 gun classified Web site for Antique, Collectible and Sporting Arms.

The SELLING PROCESS is actually quite simple on GunsInternational.com. If you can legally own a gun then you can sell your gun(s) on GunsInternational.com.  When a buyer browses guns for sale on GunsInternational.com they may click the photo, title or the word "more", which is highlighted in blue on the gun listing that they are interested in.  This will bring up the entire listing with all the details the seller has written on the gun or gun related item, as well as all photos that were entered by the seller with the listing. The photos may be enlarged by clicking on them.  Within the entire listing there is a “Contact Seller” form located in the lower right, that may be filled in with any questions concerning the gun, offers made or to ask any delivery questions on the gun. Before finalizing the sale we strongly recommend that you speak to the buyer via phone.  In addition, we recommend that you never release personal banking information.  GunsInternational.com is strictly a classified listing service and the transaction is between the buyer and the seller.  A buyer may wish to use an escrow service at their expense.  The escrow service would hold payment until the gun has been received and agreed that it has met all expectations.  At this point the escrow service would release payment to the seller.
In almost all cases, with the exception of antiques, the transfer of a firearm requires the assistance of a local Federal Firearms Licensed Dealer (FFL).  More than likely the buyer would need to arrange for a local FFL to accept the gun for them and to complete the transfer.  If the buyer does not have a local FFL they may use our FFL search to find one in their area that would be willing to complete the transfer. Fees vary widely for this service so they may wish to check with a few.
In the red buttons on the left side of the website you can access our helpful “Gun Links” button. These links will assist a seller or buyer with following all the applicable state and federal laws.  Buyers and Sellers are required to know and comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws. ATF FAQ’s link  ATF Firearms FAQ  ATF FAQ's for Unlicensed Persons  ATF FAQ's Unlicensed Persons ATF State Laws Link ATF State by State Law.
 
Once all the details of the sale have been agreed to between the buyer and seller, the buyer sends directly to the seller the payment and a copy of the FFL License (which includes the FFL address that the gun must be shipped to). The seller should verify via our link to ATF EZ check under FFL links that the FFL license is current.  Once the seller is confident that the payment has completely cleared the seller ships the gun to the FFL. It is GunsInternational.com's policy that there is a minimum 3 day inspection period to all buyers.
 
 
 
What is the return policy of buying guns on GunsInternational.com?
 
Return Policy Guidelines of GunsInternational.com  Unless the buyer and seller agree to modify, as may be the case in a new gun, layaway, international sales and for used guns and accessories it must be clearly marked in the listing as No Return, the return policy is three (3) calendar days from the day the item(s) are received by the buyer or delivered to the FFL acting for the buyer.  The item may be returned for any reason, but the buyer must notify the seller within the three (3) calendar day inspection period.  The buyer must start the return within the next four (4) calendar days to receive a complete refund, less all shipping, transaction fees and FFL charges.  Once the firearm has been received by the seller and inspected a prompt refund will be issued  Shipping must start within one week of receipt of the item(s).  The return shipping must be of equal shipping level, including insurance i.e.... Priority, Express, Blue Label etc.  The return item MUST be in the same condition as when shipped to the buyer.  This is an inspection period only, a gun is not to be fired or disassembled.  Sellers written permission is required to allow the buyer to take down a takedown model during the inspection period. Upon the receipt and inspection of the returned gun, the seller agrees to issue a prompt refund. Recommendation: Confirm purchase with all details via the Contact Seller form within the listing and print out the listing for your records. Industry standard is that if a buyer fails to perform on a layaway that any monies deposited are forfeited.  GunsInternational.com recommends all layaways are agreed in writing. Any modification of the 3 day return policy must be in writing by both buyer and seller.  

The shipper of the gun or gun part who does not purchase insurance accepts the risk of damage or loss, be it the seller shipping initially or the buyer returning. 
In the event a firearm or other purchase arrives damaged in shipping, the shipper and receiver must cooperate fully to file a damage claim with the carrier. Typically, the firearm and packing is inspected at the receivers address.   However, the shipper is responsible to file the claim.  No action should be taken until the carrier has instructed on how to proceed.  Neither shipper nor receiver will impede the claim.  Refunds are not contingent upon the claim. In the event the buyer receives a damaged firearm, the seller will not wait for the claim to be processed to issue the buyer a full refund.  In the event the firearm is damaged when a buyer is returning a firearm to the seller they will need to proceed with the claim for their refund.

You will not need to enter this information about yourself again, as it will display within your profile section of all your listings.

Tips from GunsInternational.com on the basics of creating a listing.
  1. Place no road blocks to sales.  Do not tell buyers to look for pictures elsewhere, call for a price, leave out manufacture dates, or measurements. 
  2. Pictures sell the guns. Take enough pictures to place the gun in the potential buyer’s hands. No one wants returns…be sure to photograph any flaws.
  3. Buyers appreciate a seller taking the time to create a detailed listing and therefore eliminating the need to ask basic questions, or worse just skipping your listing to purchase from another seller.
  4. Finally, proof your listings…did they load with all the images and details.    
 
Title:  Include the Manufacturer, Model and Caliber (Minimum)
Buy Now:  The Buy Now Option – When you choose the Buy Now option for your listings, registered buyers can purchase your gun or accessory right away at the listed price.  If a buyer clicks on the Buy Now button, then you will be sent a confirmation email to follow up with the buyer for payment and FFL information if necessary.  The listing will be made inactive at that moment.  Should the sale fall through you have the ability to make the listing active again.  Once a Buy Now has been executed by a potential buyer the listing goes inactive. From your My Listings page you can manage this listing. While inactive there is a Relist button on the right.  Should the sale have fallen through you can click on the Relist button and the listing will go live again for no fee. If a buyer clicks the Buy Now option, you as the seller are obligated to finalize the sale at the listed price. The Buy Now option can be chosen when initially listing the gun or accessory for sale or in the edit mode by checking the Buy Now box located just above the description box on the Add Listing / Edit Listing page.  The Buy Now feature can be chosen on a listing by listing basis. The Buy Now option can increase sales as it allows the buyer to buy when they are most excited about the item.  There are no fees for the option for either the buyer or seller.  
Description:  Include any features a buyer may place in a search that does not fall under the bullet point fields, i.e.. Proofs, Provenance, Commemorative, Condition discussion, Country of manufacture, Use – i.e... Skeet, Trap, Varmint, African Safari .
Bullet points: Minimum fields should be Manufacturer, Model, Caliber, Barrel Length, Condition and Year Made.
Price Field: Only include the current price to assist with price searches.  If it was lowered include this information under description such as was $1000 and now $900.  Price field $900
Date of manufacture is very important to many buyers, include it. Do not depend on a buyer to look it up from a serial number.   The date of manufacture is particularly important once a firearm is 50 years old, as it then qualifies as a Curio & Relic for transfer purposes.  If the firearm was manufactured prior to 1899 then it then qualifies as an Antique for transfer purposes and can be shipped directly to the buyer.  The date of manufacture is very important for Colt’s and Winchester’s in particular to properly categorize on GunsInternational.com. Many of the models, i.e.. Colt Single Action Army’s 1st Gen, 2nd Gen and 3rd Gen or Winchester rifles as Antique, Pre and Post 64 are dependent upon the date of manufacture.
Here are some quick and helpful links for dates of manufacture:

ADD A GUN, GUN PART & ACCESSORY OR SERVICES LISTING
Under Sellers Tools: click on Seller Tools, and then click either Add Gun Listing, Add Gun Part & Accessory Listing or Service Listing, depending on the type of listing that you are adding. The Listing page will open. Choose from the drop down menu the category you would like your gun (item) listed in. If you would like it listed in a second category then choose another from the second category drop down list. Fill in the title description, this would be the maker, model and gauge or caliber. If you have your own inventory control numbers this field has been provided as your listing number. A GunsInternational.com number will also be generated in your listing for reference purposes.  Complete the Description box with relevant information you would like a buyer to know about this gun. Enter a price in the Price box. Check the boxes Curio & Relic or Antique if they apply. This will include your listing in searches for Curio & Relic or Antique. If you would like automatic bullet points complete the Preset listing section. Complete any pertinent fields for your gun in the Preset listing portion. Only the fields filled in will appear in the listing by bullet points.  Lastly, you need to complete the photo uploads. One word of advice here, photos sell guns and be sure to take advantage of all image slots. Also, don't redirect someone to a photo site or say you will email more....that is a road block to sales.

A person may loan or rent a firearm to a resident of any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes, if he does not know or have reasonable cause to believe the person is prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under Federal law. A person may sell or transfer a firearm to a licensee in any State. However, a firearm other than a curio or relic may not be transferred interstate to a licensed collector.
[18 U.S.C. 922(a)(3) and (5), 922(d), 27 CFR 478.29 and 478.30]
(B2) From whom may an unlicensed person acquire a firearm under the GCA?
A person may only acquire a firearm within the person's own State, except that he or she may purchase or otherwise acquire a rifle or shotgun, in person, at a licensee's premises in any State, provided the sale complies with State laws applicable in the State of sale and the State where the purchaser resides. A person may borrow or rent a firearm in any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes.
[18 U.S.C. 922(a)(3) and (5), 922(b)(3), 27 CFR 478.29 and 478.30]
(B3) May an unlicensed person obtain a firearm from an out-of-State source if the person arranges to obtain the firearm through a licensed dealer in the purchaser's own State?
A person not licensed under the GCA and not prohibited from acquiring firearms may purchase a firearm from an out-of-State source and obtain the firearm if an arrangement is made with a licensed dealer in the purchaser's State of residence for the purchaser to obtain the firearm from the dealer.
[18 U.S.C. 922(a)(3) and 922(b)(3)]
(B4) May an unlicensed person obtain ammunition from an out-of-State source?
Yes, provided he or she is not a person prohibited from possessing or receiving ammunition.
[18 U.S.C. 922(g) and (n)]
(B5) Are there certain persons who cannot legally receive or possess firearms and/or ammunition?
Yes, a person who –
(1) Has been convicted in any court of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding 1 year;
(2) Is a fugitive from justice;
(3) Is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance;
(4) Has been adjudicated as a mental defective or has been committed to a mental institution;
(5) Is an alien illegally or unlawfully in the United States or an alien admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa;
(6) Has been discharged from the Armed Forces under dishonorable conditions;
(7) Having been a citizen of the United States, has renounced his or her citizenship;
(8) Is subject to a court order that restrains the person from harassing, stalking, or threatening an intimate partner or child of such intimate partner; or
(9) Has been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence
(10) Cannot lawfully receive, possess, ship, or transport a firearm.
A person who is under indictment or information for a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding 1 year cannot lawfully receive a firearm.
Such person may continue to lawfully possess firearms obtained prior to the indictment or information.
[18 U.S.C. 922(g) and (n), 27 CFR 478.32]
(B6) Do law enforcement officers who are subject to restraining orders and who receive and possess firearms for purposes of carrying out their official duties violate the law?
Not if the firearms are received and possessed for official use only.
The law prohibits persons subject to certain restraining orders from receiving, shipping, transporting or possessing firearms or ammunition. To be disabling, the restraining order must:
1.      specifically restrain the person from harassing, stalking, or threatening an "intimate partner" of the person (e.g., spouse);
2.      be issued after a hearing of which notice was given to the person and at which the person had an opportunity to participate; and
3.      include a finding that the person subject to the order represents a credible threat to the "intimate partner" or child of the "intimate partner" OR explicitly prohibits the use, attempted use, or threatened use of force against the partner.
However, the GCA has an exception for the receipt and possession of firearms and ammunition on behalf of a Federal or State agency. Therefore, the GCA does not prohibit a law enforcement officer under a restraining order from receiving or possessing firearms or ammunition for use in performing official duties. Possession of the firearm for official purposes while off duty would be lawful if such possession is required or authorized by law or by official departmental policy. An officer subject to a disabling restraining order would violate the law if the officer received or possessed a firearm or ammunition for other than official use. (See Question Q13 on officers' receipt and possession of firearms and ammunition after a conviction of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence. The government exception does not apply to such convictions.)
[18 U.S.C. 921(a)(32), 922(g)(8) and 925(a)(1)]
(B7) May a nonlicensee ship a firearm through the U.S. Postal Service?
A nonlicensee may not transfer a firearm to a non-licensed resident of another State. A nonlicensee may mail a shotgun or rifle to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State. The Postal Service recommends that long guns be sent by registered mail and that no marking of any kind which would indicate the nature of the contents be placed on the outside of any parcel containing firearms. Handguns are not mailable. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun.
[18 U.S.C. 1715, 922(a)(3), 922(a)(5) and 922 (a)(2)(A)]
(B8) May a nonlicensee ship a firearm by common or contract carrier?
A nonlicensee may ship a firearm by a common or contract carrier to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. In addition, Federal law requires that the carrier be notified that the shipment contains a firearm and prohibits common or contract carriers from requiring or causing any label to be placed on any package indicating that it contains a firearm.
[18 U.S.C. 922(a)(2)(A), 922(a) (3), 922(a)(5) and 922(e), 27 CFR 478.31 and 478.30]
(B9) May a nonlicensee ship firearms interstate for his or her use in hunting or other lawful activity?
Yes. A person may ship a firearm to himself or herself in care of another person in the State where he or she intends to hunt or engage in any other lawful activity. The package should be addressed to the owner. Persons other than the owner should not open the package and take possession of the firearm.
(B10) May a person who is relocating out of State move firearms with other household goods?
Yes. A person who lawfully possesses a firearm may transport or ship the firearm interstate when changing his or her State of residence.
Certain NFA firearms must have prior approval from the Bureau of ATF before they may be moved interstate. The person must notify the mover that firearms are being transported. He or she should also check State and local laws where relocating to ensure that movement of firearms into the new State does not violate any State law or local ordinance.
[18 U.S.C. 922(a)(4) and 922(e), 27 CFR 478.28 and 478.31]
(B11) What constitutes residency in a State?
The State of residence is the State in which an individual is present; the individual also must have an intention of making a home in that State. A member of the Armed Forces on active duty is a resident of the State in which his or her permanent duty station is located. If a member of the Armed Forces maintains a home in one State and the member's permanent duty station is in a nearby State to which he or she commutes each day, then the member has two States of residence and may purchase a firearm in either the State where the duty station is located or the State where the home is maintained. An alien who is legally in the United States is considered to be a resident of a State only if the alien is residing in that State and has resided in that State continuously for a period of at least 90 days prior to the date of sale of the firearm. See also Item 5, "Sales to Aliens in the United States," in the General Information section of this publication.
[18 U.S.C. 921(b), 922(a) (3), and 922(b)(3), 27 CFR 478.11]
(B12) May a person (who is not an alien) who resides in one State and owns property in another State purchase a handgun in either State?
If a person maintains a home in 2 States and resides in both States for certain periods of the year, he or she may, during the period of time the person actually resides in a particular State, purchase a handgun in that State. However, simply owning property in another State does not qualify the person to purchase a handgun in that State.
[27 CFR 478.11]
(B13) May aliens legally in the United States buy firearms?
An alien legally in the U.S. may acquire firearms if he has a State of residence. An alien has a State of residence only if he is residing in that State and has resided in a State continuously for at least 90 days prior to the purchase. An alien acquiring firearms from a licensee is required to prove both his identity, by presenting a government-issued photo identification, and his residency with substantiating documentation showing that he has resided in the State continuously for the 90-day period prior to the purchase. Examples of qualifying documentation to prove residency include: utility bills, lease agreements, credit card statements, and pay stubs from the purchaser's place of employment, if such documents include residential addresses.
See also Item 5, "Sales to Aliens in the United States," in the General Information section of this publication.
[18 U.S.C. 921, 922(b)(3), (d) and (g), 27 CFR 478.11 and 478.99(a)]
 
(B14) May a parent or guardian purchase firearms or ammunition as a gift for a juvenile (less than 18 years of age)?
Yes. However, possession of handguns by juveniles (less than 18 years of age) is generally unlawful. Juveniles generally may only receive and possess handguns with the written permission of a parent or guardian for limited purposes, e.g., employment, ranching, farming, target practice or hunting.
[18 U.S.C. 922(x)]
(B15) Are curio or relic firearms exempt from the provisions of the GCA?
No. Curios or relics are still firearms subject to the provisions of the GCA; however, curio or relic firearms may be transferred in interstate commerce to licensed collectors or other licensees.
(B16) What record-keeping procedures should be followed when two private individuals want to engage in a firearms transaction?
When a transaction takes place between private (unlicensed) persons who reside in the same State, the Gun Control Act (GCA) does not require any record keeping. A private person may sell a firearm to another private individual in his or her State of residence and, similarly, a private individual may buy a firearm from another private person who resides in the same State. It is not necessary under Federal law for a Federal firearms licensee (FFL) to assist in the sale or transfer when the buyer and seller are "same-State" residents. Of course, the transferor/seller may not knowingly transfer a firearm to someone who falls within any of the categories of prohibited persons contained in the GCA. See 18 U.S. C. §§ 922(g) and (n). However, as stated above, there are no GCA-required records to be completed by either party to the transfer.
There may be State or local laws or regulations that govern this type of transaction. Contact State Police units or the office of your State Attorney General for information on any such requirements.
Please note that if a private person wants to obtain a firearm from a private person who resides in another State, the firearm will have to be shipped to an FFL in the buyer's State. The FFL will be responsible for record keeping. See also Question B3.
