Best places to advertise guns for sale?

Had a good experience with a gun shop or rifle maker? Found a good deal? Tell us about it. Had a bad experience, TELL THE GUN SHOP!

Forum rules
Posting of negative comments in the Gunshop section could bring unwanted criticism on the forum, having said that it is important to let members know if dealings with a Gunshop were less than ideal for you. To that end we will allow what will be known as the 'Scotsgun Ruling'

The Scotsgun Ruling:

>Add Gun Shop here<

"As I've yet to have a 'positive' experience there, I'll refrain from commenting further."

Beyond that please take it up with the Gunshop, if you do resolve the issue in a agreeable manner let us know!

This rule applies to the entire forum.

I need to get down to FDPC as they do a lot of Practical Shotgun and I am looking to shift a Benelli M2.
Email the FDPC committee and they may well send it out to the members..

A lot of people are still skint after the lockdown etc, so money might be a bit tight at the moment. I had to wait a while for my last sale a month or so ago.
I have had similar experiences with Gunstar. No problem selling 2 x rifles. I found that having good photos / description and a realistic price along with a flexible approach to transfer were invaluable.

Apologies I was not posting anything for sale. Just replying to people commenting on my price being to high etc.

However as I am not allowed to mention exact prices. Suffice to the sale. The item in question is very keenly priced and I have mentioned RFD to RFD transfer.

I've used Gunwatch.co.uk to sell before. You get one free advert a year I believe. I think the advert also only lasts a certain amount of time, but I forget how long.
