Has anyone ever taken a firearm to sell at the NGS? Do you actually get people that want to buy off you?
(Yup, will be asking for ID, CHL, and/or sign bill of sale)

I have but you have to be firm on price. So many old farts will say I am a Vet cut me a deal. I am not meaning all people of age are old just too many that say that to me when I was selling a M1 Garand. I took a Glock 22 there and some guy offered me $300 because I should respect vets (he was wearing cammo pants) well I am a disabled vet myself and I do not expect special treatment.
I sold it to a young lady who took it for my asking price of $450. I even had to escort her out the door when two people started harssing her about the purchase.
I might do it again I have a Glock 17 gen 2 that people are craving for that is in pretty good shape.

Thanks, ffhounddog.
Yeah, the "I'm a vet, I deserve extra special treatment" attitude is bullshit. Every vet I know doesn't expect or ask for it.
