What's the best way to sell a nice shotgun? More pics

[Pickaroon]

I have a Charles  Hellis 12 ga. double barrel with  the original case that's just sitting. How can I sell it? The market for this kind of shotgun is fairly limited. Any suggestions?

I don’t know anything about that brand but if is something collectible there are online auction places geared towards quality firearms.  I do not mean gunbroker, armslist, or any other of the ilk.

The best way is for a low, low price to me!! Seriously though I agree with Garufa. A serious auction place unless someone here steps up. Wish I could, doing a DuckDuck search yielded some lovely guns, even the plain versions with out engraving are nice. Probably out of my impulse buy price range. Would love a picture. Any idea of value or what you might be asking? I'm not trying to skirt forum rules. Just curious.

Boxlock, Sidelock, Ejectors, Wood Quality, Engraving, Bbl Length,  Casecolors, Originality, Damascus or Fluid Steel ????

Many things to consider.

Steve Barnett is a good double seller, Auction House is another option.
Taking it to Tulsa or Louisville Gunshow would expose you to good buyers.

Picture if possible please, always like to see a good gun.

I did that 2 weeks ago. Owner s aid they're not buying anything right now. And I didn't start this as a For Sale ad. Not trying to get around a rule. Just asking for advice.

There are one or two guys on here that shoot a lot of shotgun competitions. They probably know of some shotgun websites that you could list it on.

I’d put it on here first. Might as well get a no muss, no fuss local sale if you can.

I'm confused about the "rule"  you're referring to, if you can clarify that.  Ok to PM me if you wish.

Can you get some better close up pics of the receiver and bottom of the trigger guard?

For Sale items can only be in Firearms Classifieds.

Ah, ok got it.  FWIW, I thought you placed it in a good category.

Pony up for a membership to this site and post it in the classified. Price it for what you hope to get and reduce the price until you get a bite. I’ve met many a fine fella trading on TGO.

My curiosity is strong regarding the specs of this shotgun and what you value it at. I expect others would agree.

Sorry sir. I did not see that. I don't see any harm in posting it here in the classifieds if you know how much you'd like to get out of it. I'm not guaranteeing it'll sell here, but for me, it's usually a great place to start. If not, I've had luck selling on ###.com as well. Gunbroker might net the most money, but will in turn create the most headache.

 

'Tis a handsome piece!

Thanks. I actually imported it from England about 20 years ago.
