Please note: If you give me guns to sell on consignment for you please inform me if there are any functioning issues with it. If it is a shooter and it is faulty then I may be able to get it fixed at your expense. If its a wallhanger then functioning is no issue however its always good to know whatever you know about your guns. Thanks.
Sell by yourself through the Internet.
Advantages:
* Many of the same advantages as mentioned above. Thousands of qualified buyers view, your item every day.
* Detailed descriptions and multiple detailed photos make it the next best thing to a buyer handling the item.
* You can be selling quickly, post an item and it is available to the world as soon as it is approved.
Disadvantages:
* You must be somewhat knowledgeable to be effective, you must be able to answer questions.
* You must be able to take excellent quality photos and load them onto a server, to make them available on the web. If you cannot do this, you will not be effective in selling on the web.
* You must have the time to spend typing detailed descriptions and posting them to a web site.
* A private party will still not achieve the same kind of values that a known dealer can and you will still need to organise the transfer through a licensed dealer anyway.
* But if you have the time, some knowledge, and can post quality photos, you can do well. If you don?t have the ability for that, you should seriously consider consigning the item.
Sell Your Entire Collection to The Kings Armoury
Advantages:
* You can sell all your items quickly, sometimes in a matter of a few days. We can often make quick decisions.
* No sales commissions or buyers premiums.
* You will be given an estimate of value from recent price guides, based upon an agreement to sell.
* The kings Armoury pays 50% of what we feel we can obtain for the items. That is very fair, most dealers pay less. This allows for a profit, taxes and operating expenses.
Disadvantages:
* You will most likely make more money if The Kings Armoury sells the items for you on consignment.
Sell through an Australian specialist firearms auction house.
Advantages:
* Least amount of work for seller.
* Some high quality items get over market prices.
* They get widely advertised and qualified buyers do attend.
* Most auction houses will provide you with a free appraisal with consignment of items.
* Most auction houses are FDL holders, so you will not face additional charge for Transfers.
Disadvantages:
* High cost, 20% sales commission to Seller, 15% Buyer premium and GST.
* Long wait, you must normally turn over items 3-6 months before auction.
* 50% of items sell to dealers, so you can pay high costs and the sales price is the same you could have arranged by yourself with a dealer.
Sell through advertising yourself in a gun magazine - eg: the Sporting Shooter monthly magazine
* this can work well for some people
warm regards, The kings Armoury
