Thanks. If I sold it on gunbroker can I just ship it to an FFL from the post office?
If you sell to an out-of-state buyer, you'll be shipping the gun to a licensed (FFL) dealer in his area. You'll probably have to ship it via FedEx - and they may make you ship it "overnight." (UPS has gotten really restrictive on shipping firearms - your local UPS store may not accept it).
The FFL who receives the gun will run a background check on the buyer (the buyer pays the fee for this) -- this protects you from selling it to a felon, or anyone else who is prohibited from buying a firearm.
You need to contact the local dealer and get a copy of his FFL before you ship the gun -- this is to make sure the place you're sending it to is really a licensed dealer.

I bought a gun through gunbroker and used a local FFL, but I bought it from a gun store so I assume they were an FFL. I thought about getting a trigger job done on it, but the overnight FedEx shipping was $100 (on top of the $365 for the reduced reset job). The shipping ruined it for me.
Hell, I may be better off a pawn shop with the shipping, PayPal fees, and I assume gunbroker charges a sellers fee.
