Best way to sell a Springfield Hellcat?

Better clear up that title. Might have some fellas asking about your dodge.

I figure I’ll have to try to sell it online. I’ve just never sold a gun online before.

Glad to hear you like the MC9. I’ve owned two Caniks and they fit my long fingers well. I should’ve bought the MC9 in the first place but I had a gift card to basspro and they didn’t have it at the time. And I really do like everything about the Hellcat, except it just doesn’t work for my hand for some reason.

Not sure why you'd be advised to avoid Gunbroker. It will get you the greatest exposure, and their fees are (presumably) still pretty low.

Find a local outdoor board and do a FTF transaction with someone with plenty of positive feedback.

Selling a firearm on GB is a huge PIA now. UPS and FEDEX will not ship any firearms unless you have a firearms shipping permit from them. I found this out the hard way last November. I sold a rifle and went to my local UPS distribution center where I had shipped many in the past and was told I had to apply online for the gun shipping permit. I did and got denied for no apparent reason. I talked to my local Congressman and he said they bowed under pressure from the Biden admin to do it.

You can lie about what you are shipping but if it gets lost you won’t have any recourse on insurance. With the way those assholes lose packages today you are taking a huge risk.

You could get a local gun shop to ship it but they are more than likely going to want to charge you a transfer fee to do it which will eat into your sale.

Hold tight on the MC9, lots of issues right now. I’ve put several hundred through mine, FTF every 15-20 rounds along with failure to return to battery. Canik is sending me a new spring, if that doesn’t work I have to send it in. Honestly, do some searching, issues are out there. I regret the purchase, I would not trust this gun with my life. Wish I would have went with the new FN Reflex.

Armslist works well for me.

Sad to hear about the MC9’s problems. But I definitely will consider the 43X. I almost bought it instead of the Hellcat.

Doesn't really matter how new or how many times its been shot, there is a chance you likely won't get back what you are looking for. However, it may just be 100-200 less than what you are looking for. Find a mom and pop shop and trade it in and alot of times they will give you more for the trade in if you put it on the gun you want and get it from their store.

Atleast in my experience. Although there are exceptions, I made a few hundred doing that with a new sig pistol I got at one local mom and pop and sold it to another a few weeks later. But I think that was dumb luck, glad I grabbed the original receipt at the last minute lol.

TLDR: just seems easier than selling it online, or just keep it in the safe and get what you want. You never know when value may go up or you might find yourself liking it, as 200 rounds isn't all that many.

Sure, that’s the “practically” part. I know it’s not new and I don’t expect to sell it for new price. But I’ll just keep it in my safe before I give it away for $300.
