Best way to sell a Springfield Hellcat?
Posted on 7/8/23 at 11:03 am
Posted on 7/8/23 at 11:03 am
I have a two month old Springfield Hellcat and I like everything about it, except I just don’t shoot it well. It’s the good looking two toned model and I have a Safariland holster for it. It’s only got about 200 rounds through it so it’s practically a new gun, with original packaging. I want to try the Canik Mete MC9 bc I always shoot Caniks well. The gun and holster cost about $650 total from basspro.
What’s the best way to sell this thing for a decent price? I’m in Katy Texas if that helps. None of my buddies need another pistol so word of mouth has failed.

What is this discussion of selling a firearm?
Just jokes i just quit doing that seeing how eventually they comin for them
I’d say post all that info and put on LA sportsmen or similar website in Texas. I would avoid gunbroker
I have the MC9 and I really like it

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.

Bayoushooter maybe? Last I looked their classifieds were still pretty active. I bought a couple guns off of there in the last few months.
Nevermind, just noticed TX.

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.

Join Texas Gun Talk or Texas bow hunter. They have classifieds but you may have to be a member for a certain amount of time or have so many posts in order to sell something.
If priced right the gun will sell pretty quick on those sites.

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.

Sounds like a real PITA and this is why I’m hesitant about trying to sell online. The fees and shipping hassle.
Thanks for the help y’all.

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.

This, I have failure to feeds in my MC9 as well. I’d stay away from this thing, incredibly disappointed. I need to reach out to Canik, have you received the spring and how long did it take?

Ive heard these issues with hollow pernts or the critical duty rounds. I havent heard any Fmj issues. Ive cycled both with no issues. I also really like the mc9 reset. The reviews are some lemons possibly. Ive had no such issues. I will say i prefer and shoot my Glock more accurately and glock will remain my nighstand gun forever. The 43x is better at concealing but because of mag cap you have to go aftermarket. Mp shield is a great choice too. Op should look at mp shield as its pretty awesome if you like the mc9
Footprint. I held all three in my hand at the same time this week and kinda want the 43x now
FWIW, I had my buddy shoot both mc9 and g23 with 9mm barrel and he was better with glock vs mc9 however 4” vs 3” barrel and he is new to shooting.

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

I have sold a couple and bought several through that site. You will get spam/scammer offers, just know how to identify and ignore them.
For example, “put FTF, TX ID required, bill of sale needed, cash only” and you will have people still asking you to ship, they will even offer you MORE than what you asked to entice you into biting. Don’t. They are scammers.
Real buyers will go to a public place or to an FFL to facilitate the transfer.

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.

practically a new gun,
Nope...Even if it had just one round thru it. It is a used gun. You may not get everything you put into it. I do not believe Bass Pro will allow trade ins...I have never tried.
Take it to a local gun shop and see what you can do with a trade in.

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.

Facebook marketplace. Title the post selling pen, then take a picture of the pen showing that it works next to a peice of paper with "Springfield Hellcat" written on it.
