I think it was gunsamerica that I found a few on back in the mid 2000's.
But they was at ffl dealers, and I sent my money directly to them, then they shipped to my local ffl! Pretty simple!
Another I found listed on gunsamerica was at a semi local dealer in a adjoining county, so I just jumped in the truck and drove down for that one!

I never gave the Classifieds here a single thought. I guess I could have if I thought about it. Of course, paid standalone online marketplace listings are going to reach potential buyers nationwide. I don't figure gun ads here would get national exposure on an Oklahoma-specific website. One can Google "Glock 21" or "Ruger American 6.5" and probably find a bunch of such listings on Gunbroker instantly. I also figured the particular two guns I was selling had low market demand in SW Oklahoma since five months of listing on Armslist bore no fruit anyway. What I was peddling was just not moving. A few text hits from lowballers and people asking if "the gun was still for sale" and that's it. Two out-of-town phone callers (one from OKC and another from Witchita Falls, Tx) "wanted to come by to look at my guns whenever they happened to be visiting Lawton in the near future" but they both eventually flaked out. There's a lot of flakiness one has to deal with in the gun business sometimes. You know, like tire-kicking and smoke-blowing on a dirt used car lot. Gunbroker buyers/bidders tend to be serious.

Only FFL can ship firearms through USPS.
Thank you for correcting.
I've sold a couple, but I always require a bank certified check that I can take into a teller at my bank and get a quick response to the validity of it, I would never take a personal check for a gun buy, too many crooks out there running scams.
Never had a problem ever shipping a firearm. Receiving one once yes. I will only ship a firearm FFL to FFL. I always bring a box to ship it in and if not most dealers have spares. I stay away from UPS stores and same with FEX and DHL. I use Al's Gun and Pawn here in Caldwell Idaho. I provide the address label and Al's does the rest. How hard can it be?
Many years ago I had a deal going on two handguns and at the time lived on 40 acres up in the boonies of WA State. I went to my FFL and sent my firearm to the buyer/trader who lived in Missouri with money exchanged. Everything looked good for a week until the Postman (woman) came by the house with a package. You guessed it there were two handgun's inside the box. Took a little while to get that one straighten out. In this day and age it pays to cover one butt.
How to Ship a Firearm
If you haven’t shipped a firearm yet, odds are good you’ll do so in the future. Not only are guns shipped for sales, but they’re also shipped for repairs, custom Cerakote® finishes, and more. However, you can’t just throw your gun into a box and mail it using whatever means are most convenient at the time. There are federal and state laws in place regarding shipping firearms that you must know and follow. Remember, claiming ignorance of the law isn’t a valid legal defense.How Do I Ship a Firearm?
When trying to figure out how to mail a firearm, you might find conflicting information regarding packing methods and what paperwork to include. First and foremost, follow the rules and regulations set by the shipping carrier you’re going to use. Second, if you’re shipping a gun for repair back to the manufacturer or to a gunsmith, they’ll most likely give you specific instructions for packing the gun.Paperwork that generally needs to be included when you ship guns, is a copy of your valid driver’s license and a copy of your local store’s Federal Firearms License (FFL). It can be a good preventative measure to include a copy of the destination FFL as well (take a moment to mark which FFL is the recipient FFL). You’ll find most, if not all, shipping destinations require a copy of your driver’s license be in the box with the firearms for their own records and also to complete a transfer, if one is being done.
Please note that modern firearms should generally be shipped to an FFL. However, when shipping from one nonlicensee to another nonlicensee within the same state there may be exceptions. According to the ATF website, “A nonlicensee may not transfer a firearm to a non-licensed resident of another state. A nonlicensee may mail a shotgun or rifle to a resident of their own state or to a licensee in any state.” Be aware, some states have laws in place requiring all transfers to go through an FFL. It’s also important to note that a person may only transfer a firearm to an individual who they don’t have knowledge, or have reasonable cause to believe, that the person is prohibited from possessing firearms. There’s an exception regarding transferring firearms between unlicensed residents of a different state if the transfer is to a non-resident who inherits a firearm under a will or by State law upon death of the firearm owner.
