I have a  new Gemtech Halo suppressor I would like to sell.  What are the steps in completing a consignment sell with a ClassIII dealer.  Also, any recommendations for a Class III dealer in Colorado.

Thanks for any information.

Your best bet is to sell it yourself. If you try to sell it on consignment at a local Class 3 dealer's shop, you'll have to transfer it to the dealer first (which will cost you $200 up front.)

If you sell it to someone else in your state, you won't need a dealer to go through.

I think his intent on using consignment is to:
1.)  Reach a larger market.
2.)  Not have to deal with asking about it.


I would suggest trying to sell it here in the NFA EE.  You can specify an in-state buyer only (no need for a dealer to transfer it) or even deal with out of state shipping if you want.  Shipping out of state would be very unlikely unless you had a ridiculously low price, since $400 in transfer taxes would be involved.

For example:
New HALOs have an MSRP of $675 + $200 = $875.  If you sell it in-state, you could probably get $550 for it, and the buyer would be into it for $750.  If you try and sell it out of state, the buyer would be looking at $400 in taxes, which means he wouldn't buy your suppressor for any more than $350.  That means his total outlay is $750.  If you tried to sell it out of state for $550, it would cost more than having the buyer order one through an in-state dealer and save the extra $200 transfer tax.  Follow?
