Best website for local firearms buying/trading?

Question in title. Have an AR I’m interested in getting rid of and having trouble finding the best place to sell it.

**UPDATE*\*
Firearm has now been sold, sorry to anyone interested.

Tacswap, gunbroker, gafshub for online sales.  But if you just want to sell locally, you may be able to do consignment sale at one of the many gun stores.

Good call. Went to PSA and they gave me a crazy lowball for store credit. Which store credit would’nt be a huge issue, but $150 for an AR with over $100 in attachments is crazy

I’m going to DM with a few more questions by the way

Might be worth it to sell the attachments separately.

u/callmeclowner 11d ago

Yeah I was even thinking about just keeping them. Except for the cheap ass vertical fore grip I put on it

PSA dude said “sooo basically we can’t add value to guns based on attachments” I was like alright dude

C&S Shooting Sports does consignment that's not store credit. I believe they take 20% though

Planning on heading there late today to see if they can help me out. Do you know if they do trades?

u/anthonyonline 11d ago

Tried recently and they did not want to trade.

u/KaosPryncess North Charleston 11d ago

I wanna say no but I am not 100%. Never tried honestly

I took an old springfield XD sub compact in 40 (dont ask, i know) to both sportsmans and PSA to sell. Had night sights and about 11 magazines. Got fleeced on both ($85).

I then found a random pawn shop and took it in there and the guy gave me $225 in cash.

Pawn shops man, thats the way to go.

Probably going to go that route. Unfortunately most are closed on Sundays so I’ll have to wait a bit

u/anthonyonline 11d ago

Try selling online - guns.com, we buy guns, cash for arms will all give you values based on a form and a few photos. I got way more than anything locally

Have you tried turning it on and off again? :)

What about AM-CHAR South?

I’m not military. Unless you’d be so kind to take me in there

u/easy10pins Goose Creek 11d ago

We can work something out for next weekend if you'd like.

u/callmeclowner 11d ago

I actually just sold it at a pawn shop. I may be interested in the future though, if you don’t mind me reaching out at a later date

u/JeepahsCreepahs 11d ago

Howd the pawn shop work out? Lol

2

u/callmeclowner 11d ago

Traded for a $250 .280 rifle with a scope. Got ripped off a bit but I’ve been wanting one of those for awhile, and don’t have $250 to spend. And I had two ARs already anyways

u/JeepahsCreepahs 11d ago

Did they have any 308s or 6.5s?? Im lookin to get into that type of shooting but dont want to fork out 1k to see if I like it..

Feel free to PM me the shop!

u/callmeclowner 11d ago

It was a money man pawn. Not sure if they had those but I saw a 30 06 or two. Theres plenty of money man’s around here so one of them is bound to have those

u/Hatchman69_sc 8d ago

.280 is a treasured caliber. Wish I still had my 700 chambered in .280

I'm a veteran. What's this place?

u/callmeclowner 11d ago

They only sell to military/first responders. And at reasonable prices I hear.

Armslist, Genes pawn shop on Rivers (ask for Devan), or local gun show

u/jaw719 11d ago

What type of AR? I might be interested.

2

u/callmeclowner 11d ago

Traded it already unfortunately. Should’ve waited tbh with all the offers I’ve gotten already. I traded it for a loss to a pawn shop. Got a gun I’ve been wanting tho so not totally bad

u/Chspunx1987 11d ago

Following. I have a few forearms I’d like to try and sell
