Recommendation of a shop to do consignment?

[th3w01f]

With the very real possibility of the ban, I have a few high end rifles I'd like to sell. A quick search of GB puts 4 of them in the $3-6k range maybe higher on two but I didn't have time to dig.

I'd like a shop that's good to work with and fair on fees (maybe one that's willing to negotiate). If I consigned everything at the same place it would probably total $25k plus.

I haven't shot any of these in over a decade so there's no good reason for me to keep them.

I'd prefer South Denver through Colorado Springs but if there's a great shop, I'm willing to drive.

I believe ............but could be wrong.......... most all charge 20% FYI.
I've worked with 2 over the years:
Green Mtn Guns, they also offer to sell on GB for you.......... but they have, TBH, gone down hill over the years.
The Gun Room.......... seem better but they are in no rush to get the check to you.

With higher end guns, I'd seriously consider Gunbroker and ship through an FFL. You'll get a lot more eyes on them, a good chance of a higher sale price, and less fees owed. I've also been weighing the options. Who knows how the additional 6.5% Colorado tax on April 1 will get taken from you, but I'm sure it will your guns are consigned in Colorado.

I thought about Gunbroker myself but my reviews are only for purchases and very old. I'd be hesitant to buy a $5000 rifle from someone with 6 reviews that are 10 year old. ��

Try "The Gun Room" on Carr in Lakewood. They specialize in high end rifles and do a lot of consignment.

Just found out DCF is 25%.

Thanks, I'd forgotten about them. I consigned a Superposed there about 15 years ago.

Is anyone familiar with Springs Armory as a shop? They seem to have a reasonable policy.

I believe they charge 20% for in-store consignment and 25% if they sell on GunBroker.

I have always had good luck with them. I have never done consignment there though. You could also check out SDS guns in the springs they do a lot of consignments.
