How to sell at the 1500

[THE BIG SITT]

I'm looking to sell my M&P at the 1500. What is the best way to go about this?

I put the gun box in a backpack. I put a sign on the backpack that says what I have and what I want. I walk around the 1500 as usual. People who are interested will stop you. All the dealers will ask what you have.

^^ Ditto. Always had good luck with this. Even with an empty pack a bunch of the dealers have stopped me and asked what I had to sell. Just don't forget to check that the buyer is an Indiana resident and "proper person."

Not to get side tracked, but how can I check if they are proper? Simply ask?

Watch out for ATF trolls. Ask for DL at the least.... LTCH even better.

Why are you selling it? I thought you were going to use it for USPSA?

And don't sell to anyone out of state unless they can produce an FFL.

Back pack and a sign, works great. I usually use a paper plate on some sort of stick and just throw it in the trash after the sale. Ask to see driver's license at the very least. I have had at least three potential sales come to an abrupt stop as soon as I ask, but I am sure two of them were THOSE people

I want the M&P9 Pro with the 5" barrel. My request to keep this one and purchase the Pro was denied by the boss.

I get that!

If I had known a week sooner, my brother just sold his Pro model this week. He hasn't actually delivered the gun though and been paid. Do you want me to contact you if the deal doesn't go through?

Definately! They are hard to find locally it seems.

Ditto the backpack with sign. I did this last show and had success. You will get people trying to low ball you, but remain polite and you'll be all set.

Although you don't have to, I usually ask for a concealed carry permit on top of a drivers license. It makes me feel better knowing that they passed a background check at least somepoint in their lives haha. I've sold a lot through Armslist and most people are perfectly ok with showing theirs; if they are hesitant, you definitely have a yellow flag.

The deal went through. Good luck in your search!
