The FFL we were working with wants $80 to ship and $25 for paperwork. But It does make them somewhat of an escrow account, holding the gun until I receive the funds, then shipping it. I didn't want the FFL to get in the middle of this, but I guess that is what they are there for partly.
Meh… I‘ve seen this done before. You have to find an FFL willing to do it though. It’s more work for them and they’d want a cut - similar to selling on consignment.
Since the buyer chimed in… maybe you can search around in this site to get a better comfort level with the seller to do a different payment method
I’ve sold before to people who just joined. I sold a Shadow to someone who just joined from Florida just to buy what I was selling.
