Hey guys and gals. I got a bit of an unwelcome surprise today when I headed to the local gunshop to see what I could get in trade for a Bersa Thunder UC .45 with the gold parts. The gunsmith took a peek at it, said it's about 98% and that he loved how smooth the slide was and promptly offered me $210 for it, purchase or trade. That barely offsets how much the rest of their merchandise is marked up. Now this is the first time I've ever attempted to sell a handgun, so this could be normal, but at this point I'm tempted to stop sending my business that way. The Bersas with gold parts aren't being made, so I would have thought that would be worth something. Additionally, they all seem to be going for anywhere from $350 to $400+. Was that a legit offer?
I'm not overly happy with it. It's a perfectly functioning gun in great condition, but it just doesn't do anything for me. I like .45 but I'm leaning towards a Glock30 since I love my G26. Would I be best served by trying to list it on Gunbroker or going through the forum on this site? I'm not overly comfortable about doing a face to face, I would prefer to go through an FFL just to limit my liability. Open to suggestions.
