[QUOTE="thor447, post: 3611080, member: 24867"] I've bought a few things over the years on GunBroker, but have never before attempted to sell a firearm on there. I was kicking around the idea of selling my NIB never fired Remington 870 XCS Marine Magnum. I spoke with another member on here earlier today about possible prices, and the value range he suggested was on par with what I thought it would probably be. Well, I got home tonight and decided to check and see what they had been selling for on GunBroker. There hasn't been too many of those Marine Magnums for sale recently, but the ones that were posted and sold, for the most part, sold for SIGNIFICANTLY more than the value I had in mind. There were some used that recently sold for $400 to $500 over what I thought the value would be, a few really nice used ones at $600-700 above that value, and one other NIB like mine that sold for over $1000 above the value I had in mind. Maybe these were more desirable than I had previously thought. Now I like you folks just fine, but I doubt I'd realize that level of price on OSA! With this new information, I figured 'what the hell' and decided to post my first gun for sale on a 10 day auction, so we'll see what happens. Do any of you have experience selling firearms on GunBroker? If so, is there any advice you can give, or tips to make shipping easier? I plan on just going the FedEx ground route (obviously once the buyers info and FFL license is received). Any hints on packaging, procedures for proper notification to FedEx that I am shipping a firearm, etc.? I've read through that section of their website, but experienced advice is always appreciated. This is not an effort to try to promote my GB ad on this website, and due to that fact I will not be posting a link. [/QUOTE]
