Alright so I bought a CZ P10. Because you know. Hype. Gun ships to my FFL, I pick it up. I fuckin dont like the way it feels. At all. I want to sell it. I put it on armslist for 470 (I paid 510 total after shipping and transfer fee). I figure I'd rather deal with it quickly so I'll take a little bit of a loss on it. In the post I said "NO TRADES PLEASE". Then I get 10 fuckin e-mails about trades. And a couple of jokers offering me $400. I'm losing faith in gun owners. Anyways. Where is the best place to sell a gun without getting jerked around. I want it gone, but not if I'm going to take a $100 loss on it. Fuckin brand new gun. Fuck that.

End rant. Help me /k/

Find a gun store that sells on consignment.

>>34907895
>Fuckin brand new gun.
its used you dumb fuck
nobody will believe you that its new
>>
>>34907895
Shoot the fucking gun you cunt, give it a chance
>>
>>34907895
>buying a new gun without ever handling it in person
>upset when you don't like the way it feels
You deserve this.

A local pawnshop has a CZ p10 for 390$
>>
>>34907933
Not gonna lie, this. Hopefully you learned something today.

Also Protip for bargaining; set the price higher so when people low ball you, you can give them your actual price and make the jews feel good.

Now for your actual question, it depends a lot on what you're selling. With a newer gun like yours that has a decent demand you'll likely move it pretty quickly.

As>>34907916 was saying, it's not brand new. You could say "like new" or low usage but even if someone believes it's never been shot, why would they pay full price for it when they can get just get a new one?
>>
>>34907933
>>34907916
I've bought 14 guns now. 10 of which I never even saw in person before purchasing. All of them I loved. This is my 4th CZ firearm. Loved each one more than the next. This one is a fucking turd. I came here for advice on how to sell it, not lessons from captain fucking obvious. Cunt.
>>
>>34907926
The trigger feels identical to my glock trigger, and the balance of the gun is fucked. It also somehow looks uglier than a glock. I'll go shoot it since nobody will believe it's unfired anyway. But I really don't like one single thing about the gun.
>>
>>34908040
sucks to be you
those 400 offers you though were jokes are what the used gun is worth. might be bale to get like 420-440 but dont get your hopes up
>>
>>34907895
>I put it on armslist for 470
>(I paid 510 total after shipping and transfer fee).
So is this another way of saying "I paid $470 plus shipping and transfer"?

If so, I suggest consulting a rhinologist.
>>
>>34907895
gun looks gud what didn't you do more research, you faggot? i will buy it off you give me an email address we will talk...
>>
>>34908130
Make sure you lowball him.
>>
>>34908107
Yeah. Post it at 470, figure someone offers 440 or 450. The gun is not in stock anywhere right now. When it does come in stock it's usually from a seller pricing it at $500 before shipping and handling
>>
>>34907895
>>34907916
Plus guns that are "almost completely new" smell like lemons. Why else is the person selling it so readily?
>>
>>34908130
I'll sell it to you for $400. But you may notice it's been lubed with something that appears quite jizz like. I swear it's not jizz. It's this super high tech new lube called "cameonit" I think it's french or something.
>>
>>34908193
yummy!
>>
Wear it in more
>>
>>34907895
Just gotta wait for the guy who will give you a reasonable offer.
It'll come along.
>>
Op proceeds to act like the king faggot of Cocksuckerville, and wonders why no one will help him. Huh.
>>
>>34907895
Yeah you get retards on Armslist that cant read, but 2 things:

>No one is going to believe it's new
>It's only going to sell LNIB price which is like 10-20 below common street price depending on how desirable the gun is.

So since you can find them pretty easy for $480-500 now, yours is really only worth $400-425.
>>
>>34908426
Show me where you can find one "pretty easy for $480-500 now" They are out of stock everywhere.

>>34908418
lol someone sounds butthurt. You need a change of diaper there little guy?

Sort of off topic, but I'm also a first time seller, but on Gunbroker. I read the guide but I'm still not sure how to ship the firearm. It says carrier, so I am guessing fed ex? Do I just go up there and tell them I am going to be shipping a firearm to an ffl and then go from there? Does the process vary state to state?

what state you at nigger?

Did you even bother watching the reviews before purchasing?

>>34908524
lel, I always thought those guys' wives were making them sell their guns, and they were listing them at stupid prices so no one would actually buy them.

400 is the going rate OP. If you're in middle TN I'd be willing to buy your pistol.
>>
>>34908027
That's still a stupid thing to do, like saying you've successfully ran red lights through an intersection blindly without an accident 10 times and start bitching when you get hit the next time.

The first rule about selling anything quickly is that you're going to take a loss, otherwise, just sit on it and wait until a buyer comes around.
>>
>>34907895

1. Learn the Art of the Deal.
2. You're asking too much.

http://www.gunbroker.com/item/683962060

$489.99 brand new to my FFL if I wanted one. So why in the fuck would I pay you $20 less for a used one?

3. People like to wheel and deal. Again, ART OF THE DEAL.

4. You are not a dealer, so yes, you are going to lose $100 on it if you want it gone "quickly", if not more. The $400 offers were more than fair considering the variables involved. In fact, this is where you dicker and say $425 and they'll do it.

>>34907904

And they'll probably charge him 10% or so, so by the time he gets 450-500 for it, he'll end up with $400-425 max.

>>34908179

That's not true. Plenty on Gunbroker. I even linked it to you.

>>34908426

As soon as it leaves a dealer, it's no longer new. Just like cars.
>>
>>34908040
>balance of the gun is fucked.

Did you try loading it?
>>
>pay 650 for AR
>list for 800
>no takers
>drop it to 730
>someone offers for 675
>sell

Pretty easy desu.

While we're talking about selling brand new handguns does anyone want an legit unfired Chinese Tokarev with original box and accessories?
>>
>>34908460
It's a fucking CZ. What makes you think it's such a high-demand pistol that you could sell it at near-new price?
>b-but it's sold out everywhere
No it isn't, and even if it is, it's a fucking CZ. People will just wait for the next batch.
>>
>>34908027
>I don't handle guns before I buy them
So you were incredibly stupid. You got away with it until now. Now you are pissed you have pay for your stupidity. Dunno anon, I am really having trouble seeing your side of this.
>>
>>34908622
I think you can ship long guns from a ups customer service center, not a ups store. Or through postal service. I don't think fed ex will ship guns. Pistols have to be shiped from ffl to ffl.
>>
>>34914795
>I think you can ship long guns from a ups customer service center, not a ups store.
Can you just walk in with the gun or does it need to be in a case or something?
>>
>>34912290
>So why in the fuck would I pay you $20 less for a used one?

Because it's HIS. Don't you know nothing?

If it's MY gun for sale, it's obviously worth retail or more. If it's YOUR gun I'm trying to buy, it's a piece of shit and you'd best be grateful for the $100 I'm offering. Really, you should be paying me to take it off your hands.
>>
>>34914804
Ummm I've never tried. My guess would be have it in a plain box. It also can't be shipped loaded, or with any ammo.
>>
>>34914804
No! No case! Cases are strictly prohibited by ups. Something tout do with no being able to identify what's in the package. Just make sure you bring the gun in preferably held outright and in the genreal direction of the store counter. They will take it from there.
>>
>>34907895
I'll give you 425
>>
>>34907895
OP, the problem here is that some people will buy a gun, realize it's a lemon, and instead of sending it back to the manufacturer to get it fixed for free, they will sell it on the secondary market to "some chump," simultaneously voiding the warranty, since most warranties are only to the original owner, and really screwing over the second owner, since they now have a funky gun with no warranty. CZ tends to be very high tier in terms of build quality and quality control - I would not hesitate to buy a used CZ; however, I wouldn't say the same about a Sig or a modern Colt - but most people out there don't know that.

Not many options, but if you want to keep it, you might consider some Talon grip tape to cover up the sharp grip checkering. You might also consider very carefully abrading the sharp corners of each of the little checkers on the grip with sandpaper or something so it's less sharp - but be warned if you permanently modify the gun: the value will be depreciated even more.

>lists for $470

lmao
You sound like the type of person who would list a 10 year old car for half of it's MSRP when it was new and say "no lowballers, I know what I got".
$400 is more than fair.
>>
>>34915174
>list a 10 year old car for half of it's MSRP

I know people who try to "make money" when they sell a used car or used motorcycle.

Others have mentioned it, but as a rule of thumb, anything being sold secondhand with regards to firearms should be AT LEAST 20% less than the CURRENT lowest retail price.

I don't give a shit if you opened the case and coughed on it, it's automatically worth 20% less than the current lowest retail price.

That's why it's always best to trade for guns/accessories as both parties can work to match retail value of their respective items.

I don't know about other markets, but ARs especially better be about 35-40% below low retail pricing right now to have a shot in hell of a cash sale around here.

Pistols, if in like new condition, are still about 20% off to actually have them move in a cash sale.
