How much is your time worth? Figure gas to meet FTF for a sale too.

I've sold some in the past by placing an AD in the paper, or online. But it can be a real hassle. Everyone wants to lowball you. They want to meet you 10-15 miles from home and very often don't show up. Or if they do show up bring less than the agreed upon price.

Lately I take mine to a local gun shop. They give me cash. Sure, I MIGHT be able to get 10% more if I sold them myself, but with all the other hassles it just isn't worth it to me.

There isn't enough money out there for it to be worth me selling one of my guns to someone who couldn't legally own it and later learn they had killed someone with it.
