Gun shops that sell on consignment

[gregr]

Does anyone know of a gun shop that will sell for someone on consignment in the west-Indianapolis/west central Indiana areas?

Not a lawyer, but is that legal? Doesn’t the FFL have to do a 4473? to take possession? Assuming he is buying at wholesale then selling at retail, wouldn’t that put you in direct competition with him?

I guess I’m missing something if you folks say it’s being done. Guess I’ll have to wait and hear the skinny from those that know.

That’s not fair, I want some cool points.

Once you consign it goes on their books and a 4473 is needed if they sell it or if you take it back without selling it.

I had wondered if I might not ought to try to just sell it here, but I`m leery of trying that.

Depending on the value and how much you want for it there are several shops that will buy it outright. You will get less for it but easy sale and don’t have to worry about who buys it. I consigned a pistol at Tim’s, it sold for a decent price and I think Tim‘s kept 10%. I was happy with the deal, got more than if I sold it to a dealer and Tim’s took care of everything else. Easy peazy!

Why? Consignment will cost you. Ingo doesn't. You can always use post count and feedback scores to weed out questionable people.

I would consider going to Westfield if need be, but I think this will sell, and reasonably quickly no matter where I take it. Especially with deer season closing in on us.

And if the communication feels hinky you can just say no.

My concern isn`t the potential buyers here. I`ll be very upfront here. I`m selling a Ruger M77 Mark II. I`ve shot several different bullet weights and brands through it, and the best I can get from it with factory ammo is around a 2" group. The group it shoots will kill deer obviously, and it will be an adequate rifle with factory ammo even out to 150 yards. But, I want something that shoots tighter groups. A handloader can likely wring out tighter groups, but I don`t handload.

I`m leery of selling it here because I don`t want someone here upset with me if they buy the rifle, then they`re not satisfied with the groups the rifle gives them. My wife is going to gut me like a fish when she finds out about the new rifle I bought, and I don`t need a second person upset with me.

As long as you are up front with this info in your post how could anyone be upset?
