READER Q&A:
I have a used Sig Saur P 235 semi automatic 40 caliber handgun. I need to sell this. I want to know what price I should be asking for when I try to re-sell to a dealer so I don’t get swindled. I don’t look like someone who would know much about gun sales, and to be honest I don’t.
My ex boyfriend convinced me to buy this gun and I’m sick of having it and want it off my hands, so need to sell it! It is barely used since I bought it – maybe less than a dozen times at the range. it was well taken care of prior to my owning it by a retired policeman.
Selling any gun to any dealer or pawn broker will get you a price well below the actual worth of the firearm, but it is a quick way to get rid of the gun. If money is a big issue, you could post an ad on Craigslist.com. I would specify selling terms such as: buyer must be a US Citizen, have valid Drivers License, be 18 or older, etc. Check your local laws too, the local Sheriff’s Dept can tell you where to find those. Don’t forget to add a picture. Personally, I wouldn’t sell it. Put it in a lockbox and forget about it – never know, you just might need or want it someday.
if you need to move this pistol ask the gunshop to sell on consignment.
They will price it for you…you can give them permission to haggle with a drop dead price… and the dealer will take 10-15% or so for his efforts.
Much better than taking a hosing selling wholesale or doing a pawn deal.

He is not going to give you top dollar for it. Remember, he has to resell it for a fair market price. If you can find an individual to sell it to, you can ask for a better price.
