Could you suggest a Gun Store where someone to take several Hand-Cannons (Big Bore Revolvers) to place on consignment for sale. Should be in the Kenai/Soldotna or Anchorage area. Thanks.

AGL, you'd be better off advertising locally, and meeting the new buyer at a gunshop to do the transfer, if that's required in AK. Wild West and such places will probably want 25% of the purchase price on a commission sale.

The problem is Alaskans desire the more expensive firearms, but they rarely are willing to pay even 75 or 80% of what the same firearm is selling for on Gun Broker.Com. Mountain View Sports at one time had the type buyers who purchase firearms in the more expensive range, as did GNG. When you start getting in the 2K price range the buyers thin out. It is unfortunate that "Alaska's List" sucks.

Perhaps he’s interested?

You might try Tradio, KSRM radio. 283-5811. Call 11:00-1200.


Or the station out of Homer 262-6000. I believe they run flea market or whatever they call itb12:30-13:00. They’re broadcasting to south central and up to delta.

If you’re willing to sell for 75% of market (Gunbroker) price, list them here. You’d do better as the ad is free. The buyer would do better ‘cause you wouldn’t charge sales tax. Win-Win, no?

Personally I'd consider a couple of gun shows. People in Alaska have the money for good guns.

I agree with you 100%.........but I simply can't do the gun shows. That is the perfect answer,

The problem is, unless the buyer lives in the greater Anchorage, AK area, I would still have to hire an FFL holder, to ship them. At that point, I might as well take them to a "Quality/Reputable" Anchorage FFL Gun Shop, and put them on consignment. They would get 95 to 100% of fair value from the buyer. The net revenue to me is roughly the same, with less BS.

When I was up there, I had good luck with Alaska Outdoor Forums https://forums.outdoorsdirectory.com/ . After checking to make sure it still is a legitimate site, I see you are already advertising there. Not sure what Boondocks charges, but when I was up there, he'd have at least a few on consignment most of the time. Do you have access to a swap board at a credit union or other social type location?

I think (in Alaska) there is a dynamic that has evolved, likely caused (inadvertently) by the large box sporting goods stores overtaking the (relativity tiny) firearms market. And that most of them don't deal with used firearms.
I am starting to fully grasp what "Gun Nut" in Fairbanks said, don't waste time dealing with Alaskans, especially with more expensive firearms, the market is just too small. Just put it on Gun Broker.Com

But this "cuts" both ways, as Alaskans now have to compete with all the buyers in America or the world, to purchase out of production or hard to find firearms.

True......larger market, with vastly more buyers who can afford to buy higher cost out of production, or hard to find firearms. When you look at who has this type revolvers at auction on Gun Broker, they are located in the areas you mention. Which just circles back to Gun Broker or any of the national firearms auction sites. Which again pretty much cuts out Alaskans.

I am looking for a reputable Gun Store in the area to handle this, would consider a sale to "relatively" local individual. Selling to someone that I have to deal with having a FFL ship it, I may as well, have them handle the whole process. You need only look at past sales on Gun Broker, to know "roughly" their value. Those Ruger Super Blackhawks have doubled or more in price recently. Especially the short barreled ones.

I would expect that .475 Linebaugh at auction on Gun Broker will bring $2,250.00 to $2,550.00

I would sell the "BISLEY" Ruger (Locally) for $1,100.00
They are $1,250.00 to $1,600.00 used (This Summer) sold on Gun Broker.

Yes.....I know the ones TALO distributed are about $200.00 CHEAPER (because they don't have the Bisley Grip that the Lipsey model does).

If you decide to open an account there use a name other then your real name. Or don't use your full name. Because it come up when someone is interested in your item.

No.....not in many years. I hear endless horror stories that they now hold you ransom for more and more money. I recently called a guy who had an ad there for eight boxes of .480 Ruger ammo. He said it sold five months ago, but they refused to delete his ad.

I had the same issue when I was looking for 10mm ammo, however I never had issues in the past using AL.

I would avoid giving ak list any of your real contact info.

I called about a truck for sale the other day and it turned out to be a fake ad created by the slime that runs the site. He made a fake ad to harass this guy into paying him more money.
