"Brokering" fee for gun sale?
« on: December 09, 2007, 06:19:12 PM »
An acquaintance of mine has a gun store. I was talking with him the other day, and he asked if I knew any dealers who would want to buy a couple of hundred police trade-ins.

I told him I'd ask around. Then it struck me that, if I help facilitate a sale like that, there should be something in it for me.

Any suggestions or opinions?

Opinions? As in what do we think of you getting a fee?
I think you should, absolutely. You are going to help him make money by facilitating a buyer for the guns. The buyer is probably going to get a decent deal he can turn and make a good profit. Its a win for all.

As for a fee, I think percentage of the gross might be the way to go, say 2.5%?

Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

Finch, a THR group buy is a great idea. If there were enough people in on it, I'm sure we could get a much better price.

Get hold of me and I'll likely buy the lot and you can have a freebie, after the paperwork, of course.

A group buy would be wonderful...

Assuming we know what's been traded-in beforehand. (Hint, hint)

I don't understand.

(Edit). OK, I'm dense today. There's S&W 4006's, 5906's, 6906's, and Beretta 96 and 96D's.

Shipping would be UPS overnight, $35 flat fee.

I just have to find out what the seller wants for the bunch.
