I have several guns I would like to offer for sale to you guys first, as opposed to selling them locally.
However, it would appear that our guvamint, in its infinite wisdom, has made that impractical.
I sold one gun on this forum and my local FFL charged me $50 [@#%*^(@)$^&] to send it off to AZ where the recipient had to pay another $25-$30 to pick it up. Simply ridiculous and patently unfair to both buyer and seller!
I am reluctant to consider getting an FFL both because I do not have and do not want a store front, and I do not want Uncle Sam's nose stuck in my private affairs (yeah, I know, that ship sailed a long time ago).
In many cases I don't think an antiques and relics (?) license would do either.

What have the rest of you done to solve this problem, or do you just grin and bear it?
