Luckyshot Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Has anyone ever off loaded their guns to an RDF & did you get a fair price or ripped off? Abit like the motor trade, a dealer (rfd) will give you less than second hand value as they need to make money on them aswell. I've only done it once, never again worth holding on and selling private unless you need rid asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Off loaded a few for a mate who lost his ticket. Malmo and Bamfords - both gave decent prices. They have to make a living, but there was no rip off. Minimum fuss, quick payment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Some will sell guns for you at a commission (usually 10%) so expect to get less than you would in a private sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance the rfd you had them off will take them back at a decent price as the will know the history of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davyo Posted November 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) As Said Mate, SELL them Private if you have the time,, or will probably take a big hit.. I've done that in the past & people just want you to drop price and then expect you also to cover RFD,t's just hassle Edited November 16, 2015 by Davyo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 I usually have put them into our local shop on commission and have done very well, often exceeding my expectations.. As a former Secretary of what used to be a big club I have sent a lot of people along to do the same inluding relatives of several members who have died. To be fair to him the shop owner has never taken advantage. The only problem is the wait, it can be months, even years before they sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
