Gunbroker is an online auction site. Much like Ebay.
You list it, people bid, when it sells you ship the item. Firearms need to ship to an FFL at the buyers end in order to complete legal transfer of the firearm. This would be the case no matter how you handle the sale.
There are other gun auction sites like GunAuction, but Gunrboker really its the largest of its kind. Guns America is a Fixed price "buy it now" site. And Guns International is an online classifieds site. The gun is listed at a set price and the seller must be contacted by the buyer to buy the gun. Guns International is the largest site of its kind and is really the cheapest way to sell a gun, as it costs only like $18 now to list a gun on there up front with no additional commissions or fees after that. But, you have to put a price on it, and you cannot go up from there. So most start high at the risk of not selling the gun.
An auction site like Gunbroker would get you the highest exposure, with the highest chance of getting the maximum price at the lowest cost to you. If the gun sells for a few thousand dollars you would not may more than $100 in commission fees, if that.
Or, if you are not looking to sell yourself on the internet. Get it to a reputable dealer and sell it on consignment with them. And expect to pay around 20% to them.
But, I still do not think that consigning it to an auction house is the way to go.
Or, join the assoc and list it and sell it here. if you are not already well on your way to doing...
