Bringing a gun to sell/trade

[alhambra lion]

Never done it before. Do I just present it for a zip tie at the gate like I would my EDC?

 

[actaeon277]

Yup. Hopefully unloaded.

Do it once and see if you want to hassle with it. Depends if your holster likes a zip tie or not.

It works great. I took one and my son's buddy took one. Both sold. Key is to have small sign displayed for people to see.

those tend to be better deals for both the buyer and seller.

Did you do a transfer with one of the vendors or a bill of sale?

I took a S&W wheelgun and a Colt 1911 to the last show I attended. Spent most of my day being approached by strangers asking "what you have there?" and "what you want for it?". Was more of a distraction then anything. The wheelgun drew the most interest and wasnt for sale, it was with me for holster fitting.

That is true. We wouldn't be there without the dealers though

Yes you waste a lot of time doing show and tell if you carry a gun in. I like to trade when I buy a gun to keep the cost lower so I carry one in sometimes.
