shops that buy guns in western PA?

looking to sell most of my collection, nice guns in excellent condition. listed on here but not much interest, honestly don't have time to meet for multiple handgun transfers. building a house and need cash badly. I know I'll be losing money as opposed to selling privately but I need cash. I have dealt with Elite Firearms in the past buying but got such a low offer last time I was selling I won't return. recommend a shop in or near Mercer County that will pay a fair price?

I can’t help you with what shops are buying out west. However, one can expect to take a massive loss selling guns to a FFL holder. Exceptions are if the gun went up in value since you bought it for example if you bought a Colt python or H&K p7 in the 80s you might get more than you paid for it. The other exception will be if there is a buying panic and you are selling what’s in demand. I could only suggest that you look into selling on consignment.

emailed 4 local shops for a quote and will ask if any will do consignment. still easier that way. I knew what I was in for.

Rock Island 1911
H&R Sidekick a couple Handi Rifles
870 Wingmaster
Ruger SP101

I don't have anything that went up in value. SP101 probably held its value the best. building a house sucks.
