SF Bay Area Gun Trade Advice

[Guy B. Meredith]

A couple of my messages must have sent THR down as they are not here. I am dupping this one and hope it doesn't come back up.

Where are good vendors to deal with in trading a pistol in the SF Bay area? Best place to sell or put a pistol on consignment? Who gives best overall deal--trade value and good purchase prices.

I may decide to trade in a pistol to pick up an 870, .22 cal revolver or sell to put money towards a CMP Garand.

what are you looking to get rid of?

You can try posting on the Calguns.net board and there might be someone local to sell to through as PPT. Here's the link to their Sell Board.http://calguns.net/eve/ubb.x/a/frm/f/7736030741

In general, I like Reed's on Alum Rock in San Jose. I have never sold a gun throught them. (I have never sold a gun period). But I have bought plenty from them and always got a good price (for Bay Area) and good service. YMMV

Sportsmen's Supply in Campbell usually has a pretty good consignment selection; also, they will sometimes put their consignment guns in their newspaper ads.

Kerley's in Cupertino usually has a good consignment case also.

I was treated well in both shops when I lived in the People's Republic of California. I liked the selection at Target Masters in Milpitas, but the range was too unsafe for me to frequent very often.

for comparison, my friend sold a very good cond G27 to the gunshop in Fremont that was robbed (ARGh! not long after, either).
he got $300, not great, not the worst.
he was bummed when i showed him this site (but psyched now he knows about it)
