I have over 1, firearms, that need to be sold. I am in bad health and can not use them any more. Can I sell them on line? I am NOT a ffl dealer. Do I have to go through a FFL ?

    You can list them right here on Gun Broker and you do not need to hold an FFL to sell them. If the buyer is from out of state then the firearms must shipped to an FFL in that state and be sure that the out of state FFL will accept a firearm shipped by a private party (specify that requirement in your listing).

    Just to add: if you have handguns to sell, those have to go next day air, which is often quite expensive, and through a UPS or Fedex hub (not a staples store or similar). It may be easier/cheaper to take a handgun to a local FFL and have him ship it; even if he charges $25 for the transfer, he can then mail it in the US mail for $10.95 flat rate- a total of perhaps $35. UPS next day air can run upwards of $50.

    This is entirely correct, but I need to add one thing.

    In a few states (eg Massachusetts) unpapered face to face sale of guns (all guns) is regulated, and may not be entirely legal.
