I'm new to the state and new as a member this site, although I have been "lurking" as a non-member for a while. After having a CCW permit in two previous states where I've lived, but not really carrying very much, I decided to really get serious about CC this time. I got my VA resident and UT non-resident and I've been taking several courses at the NRA range in Fairfax. Now I digress, but I don't see that range listed under ranges on this site and I don't see any of my instructors or their company listed under instructors. I guess there's a story there!
Anyhow, one thing that was clear taking all these classes is that I need new equipment! Technology has changed! I'm still deciding what to buy, but getting close to narrowing it down, but there is another side of the equation. I have some older technology, but still very desirable, guns to sell to finance my purchases. I'd like to sell on consignment because I don't want to have to deal with buyers directly and I don't want to take responsibility for possibly selling to someone who shouldn't be buying even if I meet the letter of the law. I'm willing to give a cut to a gun store to deal with those two issues and I am not in a hurry to sell and I while I want to get a reasonable amount of money for my guns, I don't have a "hurdle" to meet. I do want to be dealt with courteously and fairly.
So, my question is: What is the best gun store in Northern Virginia to consign guns with? I'm particularly concerned that they have a good reputation in the community as being good businesses to deal with. I have read online about people getting completely ripped off on gun consignments and at least one store I visited locally wasn't all that friendly.
