Non-restricted private gun sale

[MarkD]

May I ask for advice on how to privately sell non-restricted rifles here in Ontario?
I have a CZ 452-2E ZKM (.22LR) which I haven’t used much and not considering the use anymore.
I know that I can bring it to a gun shop, like Elwood Epps etc and they would sell it. I believe they take about 30% of the price as commission.
Is there any way to sell it cheaper without paying this much for service?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!

It's been years since I sold a gun. I miss the good old days where you just showed your PAL and went on your way.

I was contemplating selling my 20guage Remington 870 express but changed my mind because of all the BS I have to go through for the transfer.

The RCMP has a website you can look this up for confirmation, but the last time I did this the only requirement was to call the RCMP and verify the licence of the buyer is valid prior to making a phyiscal transfer of the firearm. For selling it privately you may want to look on line at Gunpost, or Gunutz. I have bought and sold guns on line with no issues.

Thanks, I know the procedure.
I’m looking for a way to sell it for a proper price without giving away 30% of the worst price.
I expected there would be some advertising website where I could post the sale for a small fee or even free.

I’ve sold a few guns on Gunpost, went smooth. Although I do regret selling the guns haha

Gunpost has a terrible reputation for being a scammer haven. You're quite lucky if you haven't had trouble. To all,please exercise extreme caution. I would use a local gun shop for consignment sales. They deal with the nonsense,you collect the money after small fees,of course.

Well, it's not a 'small fee'. It is 30% of the lowest possible price.

As for the scammers…
The RCMP webpage states that
‘You do not need to register non-restricted firearms, but the transferor (seller) must obtain confirmation of the validity of the transferee's (buyer's) firearms licence, prior to the transfer of a non-restricted firearm’
But they did not provide any link on how to get this confirmation.
Any suggestions on that?
Thanks!

There is an interesting thread about selling guns.
https://www.oodmag.com/community/sho...icted-question
It also mentioned the ‘confirmation of the validity of the transferee's (buyer's) firearms licence’ but I still did not get how I could get it easily.
It seems that there is no on-line system for that, but I have to call and talk to this … cityots … to obtain the confirmation.
Is this correct? Is it the only way?

30% sounds high to me.
I sold my target pistol a few years ago at Lanz Shooting supplies at Silverdale gun club, and they charged 10%. Phone around to a few shops for % quotes.
