Good afternoon everyone, I'm not 100% certain if this question is cool here, please remove if not. But I was wondering if anyone knew of a good place to sell a rifle to in Kentucky? I tried a certain gun co, but they said it had too many upgrades (only the furniture and extension tube). And I've heard the consignment shop with the BRc initials has caused some people to have distrust with themselves. I wanted to see if there's anyone with better knowledge than I do. Broker is a last resort, due to the fees and risk of payment mess. If there's any clarifications, please ask. I welcome the recommendations, thank you.

I hadn't thought about this forum to sell on, I figured it would be like the HK one, with heavy prerequisites to put a sale on. I'll try the classifieds first though, then try here if I have no luck, thank you for the link!
Where all have you tried buds in Paris Kentucky gun co. Or I know people in that area my yard is in Georgetown send me contact info I can talk to you about it
Ky. Armslist can be productive. $7.99 a month & you can cancel any time. But it sounds like it' might be an AR. If so, a gunshop may not want it at all, or if they make an offer it will be low, really low. There's a glut right now.
Have a good friend that works at Toyota? Good odds on that as 12K work there. Or have they stopped allowing gins to be advertised on the bulletin board there?

Go over to Harlan County, probably trade for some oxytocin or weed , just watch out for Boyd Crowder.
I had checked with Ky Gun co, they're who said it was too many upgrades, which leads me to believe that Buds will definitely hold the same belief.
That's one I'm not too familiar with, I should check that too. And it's an Mr762 with G28 furniture, so it will probably fall in an odd spot, especiallywith the a4 release.
And while I live right by Toyota, I only know people who work for the sub companies, and Frankfort, so sadly I don't have any info on that
They look like they will be worth sending an email to. The gunshops in my town are nice guys, but they don't really do much in terms of buying, they're really small with most traffic being transfers. It's annoying how just a swapped handguard, grip and stock/buffer tube makes it too custom for groups like KY and Buds
You could probably just call Stevens.that’s where I buy all mine from actually bought an ar for my son that they was selling for someone.
Yeah, it's cool, but I've honestly lost interest in it, and am changing course before finishing it, so I never even got an optic for it. I'm intending to use it to fund a bolt action build instead.
Thanks, and yeah, I just wanted to give in state a shot before expanding outward first. And even then, I'll probably go for using here before GB. And the HK forum rules for sale eligibility were pretty rough the last I checked, which is a bummer.
I sent a cursory email, but a call would be good. It'd be a 2 hour 1 way trip, so nothing bad if it's good to go, but rough if it doesn't pan out. But they look worthwhile to check out anyway
I drive it everyday about hour and 45. I may know a couple people around here that might be interested in it.
Wow, once in a while is one thing, but everyday is impressive, you must be road department or something. And that'd be awesome, I want it to go to someone who'll actually enjoy it and use it, and not just have it sit in my safe unused indefinitely.
Antique & Modern Firearms on Burt Rd in Lexington should work - they are consignment only - consignment fee is 17% I believe. Evans Firearms In Lexington on Regency Rd is another. And, Gilbert's Guns is a nice store on Louisville Rd. in Frankfort, along with Mike's Guns in Frankfort. All good places.
Ahh, I've actually heard of Evans and Mike's. Would there be a benefit to consignment outside of an auction, or would it be better to just find a place to outright sell?
Generally, consignment will net you more because the dealer is not trying to recoup the money he paid out for a firearm. A lot of dealers will low ball an offer buying from you on a high ticket firearm because they are worried it may possibly take them longer to find someone willing to purchase it at a high price ( think of a pyramid for high price items - the higher you go up on the pyramid - the smaller the buying audience ).
Next, the store I used to work with had great success selling items on GB starting them at 1 cent - people will fight each other to win the auction. I don't think they ever lost money on an auction.
Lastly, as a very smart dealer once pointed out to me - the amount YOU paid for an item or have invested in it - has very little bearing on it's current worth. The old adage - it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
GLWS and I hope this helped some.

That's a good point on the consignment. I currently am waiting on a response from the consignment shop in Lexington.
And yeah, I fully accept that I'll be selling at a loss, I'm just not willing to drop down as far as a used base model (a GB listing that was shown to me as a basis for an offer that I had turned down). Given the nature of the parts, I may have to try to figure out the steps with the HK forum to get it listed there if I come up empty handed elsewhere.
