Where is a good place to post a semi-collectible shotgun for sale? I am not trying to sell a firearm on twincitiescarry.com, so I don't think this post is breaking the rule, but I am looking for input from others who have sold long guns elsewhere.

I'd bypass the interlink for selling firearms. Try a gun show as a private sale. I've had good luck at shows.

There is a gun show in Anoka this weekend.

Gunbroker is well trusted for internet sales.

I have used Gunbroker.com with no problems. A couple of times, I have been contacted by local folks and end up doing a FTF rather than finishing it on gunbroker. If you list your location, you can get hits that way. Gun shows work well also.

I've sold a firearm on gunbroker.com - and bought other accessories (no firearms though).

I've purchased FTF from some folks over on the other site.

Check out Shotgunworld.com or net (I forget). The largest shotgun forum on the internet and they have a for sale section.

check out this place http://www.ahlmans.com/ or you can call my most favoritest gun guy in the whole world

he runs a shop out of his pole shed.

froyums sports
46700 135th ave
zumbrota, mn 55992

eric froyum
507-824-2372

if your not in a hurry chances are that eric can find you something if he doesnt have what your looking for.
hes usually around the shop on weekdays from 5pm to 8 0r 9 pm and all day saturdays. sundays are hit and miss.
its best to call ahead of time.
he is by far one of the nicest guys you will ever meet and deal with. if he has a used gun you want he will let you test fire it before buying it. sometimes he even lets people shoot his personal firearms if they are looking for something similar and are not sure.

like i tell eveyone else i look at guns in every store i can find, but when i decide to by one i get it threw froyums.

plus his shop is a nice place to go if your just lookin for a place to shoot the breeze.

ETA: i thought you were looking for one not selling, so my brain failed me again sometimes i wonder if i can even read anymore.

ok aside from buying guns at froyums he will put them on consignment in his shop also.

see my post further down as well now that i have actually read your post correctly. :mrgreen:

Just sold several on GB with great results. One old one I thought would go for $50 or so went to $150.

i find it strange that you people sell guns. that would mean your amount of guns gets smaller, unless of course your selling them and replacing them with an equal number of guns. that would be ok.

my colection never gets smaller, it always stays the same or gets bigger. if i part with one firearm i must replace it with another.

i think i may be afflicted with the terrible "gun bug". my mind is set that you never get rid of a gun unless another takes its place, and that you can never own to many guns.

maybe thats why i have no money.........oh well i like guns better anyway.

as a side note i almost caught the worst of the "gun bugs", the "1911 bug" but i narrowly avoided it. i do however expect it to rear its head again in the future.

between the various "gun bugs" and the "reloading bug" i am a very ill individual.

now i find myself also contemplating looking for another old shotgun......hmmm maybe another model 12 or a model 97 ....... aaaaaarrrrgggghhh see what you have started glreis :D :D

Depending on what it is you could try a couple of the bird hunting forums. They tend to like smaller gauge (16, 20, etc.) side x sides. If the barrels are damascus steel it will have a smaller market then if they are fluid(?) steel. Exposed hammers have a following as well.

I want to thank you all for your input. I have sold it to a friend but I will keep your suggestions in mind if I sell another shotgun.
