I have sold several guns through one of my local gun stores on a consignment sale setup. It has worked out great and everyone on the deals were happy.
I have seen this site for several years and have thought about buying from them but haven't tried them yet...They offer ways to sell as well:
https://www.gunbroker.com/
Those fees though  :o

There was a few on there I considered until I read all the fine print. Local shops were able to make it worth my while to buy local.

Like others I have done the gunlist route and just never got completely comfortable with it. Just about anything I buy or sale now goes through a local gun shop.

The idea of making the transfer at a police station does sound interesting though

Having my FFL relieves so many issues in buying. I receive alot if Gun Broker purchases that seem to go well. I have sold a few there too. Now, Arms List has been an issue for a couple guys I know. Cost my dad about $1800 cause he was stupid and sent postal money orders for a gun that never showed up. Thought long and hard about going out to Vegas and hunting down a sorry SOB thief.

TraumaSlave, I would think the police would be very interested in whom stole that gun from your father did you file a report?

I think his father bought/paid for a gun that was never delivered :nixweiss:....

LVPD took a report, USPS took a report,,, nothing has been done. Basically, he is SOL. He never should have done this the way he did. Judgement is one if the first things to go in our old age, I guess.

It's pretty sad you can't even depend on cashier's checks (or bank drafts for that matter) anymore.  I'm not sure there is a foolproof form of payment, since even cash is risky these days with all the counterfeit crap floating around or with "buyers" who arrange to meet you and then rob you.  Just one of the many reasons I don't sell anything directly to people I don't know well, and am willing to take less selling things to a dealer.

Btw, I think we all know that banks can actually clear checks in much less than five days if they want to.  These days some banks are worse than the scammers; Wells Fargo comes immediately to mind.

US Postal Money Orders can be verified over the phone.
But when selling , either a payment thru paypal or cash is king. I sold a few cars thru paypal payments, the buyer was charged the price plus the paypal fees
