[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 501919, member: 9253"] Enigma. When you sell a gun be sure to follow Federal and state laws of both your state and the state of the buyer. In some states you can sell a gun to a resident of your own state with just and exchange of the gun and payment. In some states a transfer within the state must be registered. Federal law requires a the transfer of ownership of a gun between states be performed by an FFL holder in the state receiving the firearm. $1500 sounds reasonable for that package (sight unseen) , but someone has to pay shipping($30 typical) and FFL transfer fees (usually about $40) unless your state allows you to sell it directly to a fellow resident. Local residence is usually 6 months currently living in that state but may vary by state. It's your responsibility to determine if the transfer is leagal. That the buyer says ok won't keep you out of court. Direct sales within your own state will be the most economical. Selling on a site like gunbroker.com incurrs fees but reaches a huge audience interested in buying guns. At least go there to see what guns like you'rs are selling for. Look at bids and asking prices. Reality is somewhere in between. You can post in this sites classifieds too. Its appropriate for a 338-378 Wby. Clear photos and accurate complete descriptions allways help to make good deals. A good deal is where both the buyer and seller go away happy. [/QUOTE]
