With KSL putting a hold on gun listings in their classified section, what is the best way for a person to sell their privately owned guns for fair prices in Utah?

Any gun stores that accept guns on consignment?

Any pawn shops in particular that offer reasonable compensation?

Another classified service?

I want to get rid of all the guns I own and I want fair compensation for what I have.
 
As I buyer I like to use gunbroker.com.

Yeah, I have an account and I've bought guns from there before but it seems like a pretty big hassle to try to sell guns there as a private seller. I could be wrong.

Just going through some personal issues. My father shot and killed himself. I'm erring on the side of caution and getting rid of my modest collection.

You mentioned that before, I think, but I didn't realize it was recent. My deepest condolences.

It wasn't recent. It just plays on my thinking on this. It happened in Dec. 2005. In many ways I haven't even begun to really deal with it even over 7 years later. Suicide is a horrible thing to do to the people who care about you. I'll leave it at that.

My mom tried in the 1990s, without success, and I'm still not sure I've really dealt with it.

I don't really believe in the new age nonsense that you have to emotionally "deal" with everything.

You just move on and continue on with even more humility about life than you had before.

Not to try to one-up you. My mother made 3-4 attempts, my sister made 3 very serious attempts and was twice saved by someone else. My father's younger brother killed himself a few years after my father did.

I feel somewhat surrounded by it, even though I've never really been suicidal myself.

I'd say you are probably making a pretty wise decision here. Better safe than sorry. What do you have? I've wanted to get something for a while, but haven't yet.

I'm overwhelmed by that thought. All I can do is wish you well.
