With the complete listing up you may also click on the photo thumb nails to enlarge. Once you find a match you will have a good idea of the value of your firearm.

Along with payment from the buyer you need to request a copy of the FFL license for the FFL that will accept the gun and transfer the gun to the buyer. 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.

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.
