Yes, it's happened, like many of you said it would way back when I first posted here: I've outgrown my first gun and am itching to spend some money on something else. But what to do with this one? I have a couple of questions.
- Do stores take trade-ins? I've got my eye on a Beretta PX4 at Cabela's, so I'm wondering if they'd take my S&W Shield 380 in partial payment.
- If they do take trade-ins, should I actually go for that or is it worth my time (meaning, am I likely to get more money) if I try to sell it privately?
- If a private sale is the better way to go then...how? Classifieds? If I get a buyer that way, do I have to find an FFL holder to effect the transfer? (I'm in Oregon, btw.)
- If I go the private route and don't need an FFL holder for the transfer, should I nevertheless meet them at a neutral location, for safety's sake?
