Looking for Advice regarding Selling Glock 19 Pistol

[mtdjed]

Back in 2016 I bought a new Glock 19 Gen 4 Pistol with intent to become proficient in use. Learned how to use it but quickly found that I could not use it because of ear problems and Vertigo issues when firing the Pistol. Retired the unit after shooting one box of ammo.
Although 8 years old, the Glock is essentially new.

Looking for recommendations as to best way to legally sell. Currently just using up space in closet. Take it back to selling store? or online stores? can find online prices for units of this age, but does low usage mean anything regarding price?

There are various online sites where you can list the gun. You will have to use an FFL if you ship the gun to a buyer. You can also sell the gun yourself if you and the buyer are Florida residents.

Shooters World also buys used guns. They are located at Brownwood on CR 44A. You won't get top dollar but a fair price and only takes a few minutes. Make sure you transporter it in its original case or bag unloaded.

Join Straight Shooters club. Members buy & sell firearms at club swaps and I think their website also has a buy/sell page. Shooters World will give you a low ball offer.

Members do not buy and sell guns at club swaps. The club does not do swap meets.

There is a classified section for selling firearms on the club website. Price it right and it will sell

Selling a firearm to a private party is legal in Florida. However, personally, I would only sell it to a Florida resident with a current CCW license, even though they are no longer required. Also, I would prepare a bill of sale, including the firearm serial number and a copy of the CCW license. The sale should be conducted in a public place, not at home. Good luck.

[Bassdeer]

You can try and ask $500 for it but $450 is going to be in the ballpark and $400 would be a great deal.

I have six shooter 38 special I’ve never shot. Had it for 50 years. IMO better to have one and not need it than need one and not have it? IMO double action revolvers are safer and more reliable. Only drawback is 6 shots vs up to 30. But, I can usually hit what I aim at or come close enough. Owning Fire arms Carry great responsibilities and will probably get even more intense in future. I can see why some don’t want that responsibility anymore.

[vintageogauge]

I sold most of my firearms that I brought down from up north to Nordic Pawn in front of the Plaza on 301. He was more than fair with his offer and I accepted it immediately. They have been around for decades.

Make and Model would add a great deal of interest to your post. I have a few of the auto-magics in addition to long guns of all kinds, but my absolute favorites are old 38 / 357 revolvers. The blued steel, the smooth curves, and all metal construction (not including grips of course) remind me so much of those beautifully designed tail-finned cars of the 1950's. I think what you have are the best kind of guns for collecting and admiring. For gun fights? Depends - many pros and cons and variables, but for sheer appreciation of workmanship and quality its .38 six shooters like you have.

Shooters World lowballed me, got a better price at The Gun Range on 44 in Leesburg, I didnt want the hassle of not selling to a dealer, in case someone later commits a crime with the firearm.

[mrf6969]

Online "We buy guns" is very fair and they make the process easy and fast. I just sold 2 pistols to them. They gave me 25% more than Shooters World. I did not have to pay shipping or FFL fees as they are no charge. Money deposited in my checking acct. Doing it this way is safe as it protects you as the ownership transfer goes into their name.

I've been a firearms instructor for over 40 years. 20 years at The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. I'm a NRA Counselor, Instructor and have 5 more NRA Ratings. I've been with the Straight Shooter since the club was formed. If you contact the Straight Shooters, they will sent you to me.

Shooters World will low ball you, I worked there for almost a year. I would think they would offer $300 - 350.00. ( If you're willing to go down to 300.00, send me a PM, I'll buy it today. :))

Nordic Pawn closed 4 or 5 months ago.

Pat's Pawn in Leesburg is out of business

You must be a member of the Straight Shooters to post on their web page.

There are web sites you can list on. Some are free, but most charge you a monthly fee. If you go this way be careful about who you invite to your house.

$400 - 450.00 is a fair price for a used Glock. Once you walk out the door with it, it's a used gun.

I think I have addressed all the threads. I have sold gun collections for people in the Villages for years. Mostly after a husband has passed. If you send me a pm. I'll give you my phone number and we can talk about the best way for you to proceed. If you go to the club web page to the Ask the Gun Guru, you can get me that way.

You can talk to guns and Gold up in Belleview. You're not gonna get as much money for it is selling it out right but at least you have a paper trail.

[MrFlorida]

Call Rick at auctionarmsusa, he is an FFL, and will come to your house and pick it up, and sell it on his auction site.

Yea I bet you would.:22yikes:

I have seen them sold at yard sales. Apparently, this is legal in Florida but in my mind, not very sound.

[JRcorvette]

If you sell private be sure to get a Bill of Sale (you can download one) and a copy of their DL or CCW and hold on to it.

[mrf6969]

I have 175 rounds of .38 for sale at below market price. PM me if interested.

[Number 10 GI]

l did a pretty lengthy search on Gun Broker of completed auctions (sold) Glock 19 Gen 4 pistols. Average sales price is around $350. Even though the pistol has a low round count, it is still a used Glock 19. Nothing special as there have been thousands of them sold over the years.

Why not turn it into law enforcement so it doesn't get in the hands of a nutcase!

[ElDiabloJoe]

Because then one is simply giving something away worth hundreds of dollars simply because they "don't want it anymore."

Why don't YOU give away your car?

[Bilyclub]

Would you take $350?

Good one.

You may sell your car to an alcoholic, and they might drive drunk and kill someone.

There are consignment shops you should check out. I have sold two long guns and a pistol up north on consignment and was happy with the outcome each time. But none down here. So I don't know what the typical commission is in this area.

But consignment is nice because for the cost of the commission fee (I think it was %15 and I still made money), the dealer displays your firearm, performs the actual sale and incurs the headache of all the paperwork. To me, that is a small price to pay as it relieves you of all that uncertainty.

Of course, you need to set a good price: not so high that it won't sell, but not so low that you'll do any less than break even. You should work with the dealer on the best price because the dealer has an interest in the sale as well. The other thing you'll have to track is progress. Don't be a nag. But do periodically check on whether there's been any feedback or interest, maybe every 3 weeks or so. If not, you might have to adjust price. Once I called to check and was happy to discover the gun had already been sold. Lesson learned is you can't always count on the dealer to call you back.

There was Nordic Gun & Pawn in Wildwood. But looks like they are gone now. Do an Internet search on "firearm consignment". Those weekly mailers and flyers are full of them, too. Sometimes they will be "pawn shops", but some will offer consignment arrangements. Regular gun shops often do as well.

[Bobnfl]

Just list it on this site in sporting goods, Ask for a CCL & FDL. you are good to go with those IDs
Or send me a PM and we might be able to work a deal.

Be careful as to whom you sell it & if you don’t meet the Federal requirements to own it, you could be incriminating yourself (I have seen that happen; any restraining Orders, even mutual in a divorce & other personal prior issues can make you ineligible to own a firearm other than a black powder gun).
Keep the bill of sale for at least 20 years; that firearm can be traced back to you if used in commission of a crime years later.
Good luck.
