What to do with donated pistol?

[doctorjj]

Help me out, OSA. I recently donated a pistol to a benefit auction and the auction company couldn't/wouldn't auction it without an FFL. The proceeds were to go to LeeAnn Dingman, wife of Cecil Dingman (feel free to google Cecil). He died very unexpectedly and LeeAnn was unprepared both emotionally and financially. So now I have this pistol back but I still want the proceeds of it to go to her. Should I just throw it on the classifieds and see of it sells? Could we do some other type of auction?

BTW, the pistol is a S&W SW40VE. Nothing special or high dollar. Has had one magazine shot through it. Comes with the original box, two magazines and a box of ammo.

PS. This is not an ad and any offers to buy the pistol will be ignored. Thanks.

Cleanest thing to do is sell it and donate the funds. Anything else is a headache that you don't want

I like your plan. sell it here on OSA and donate the proceeds. Be sure to mention in your ad that the purchase is a fund raiser and it might help it sell.

Maybe the Admin will allow a one time/special allowance for an Auction/Bid type post in the classifieds?

List it on gunbroker

I don't want to ask for any special exceptions.

I would entertain PM's to help me pricing it fairly.

I bet he would.

Why not contact an awesome FFL like SSP or Patrick at BANG depending on your location and see if they could help you out with the auction side of it?

Or, you could raffle it.......

Donate the value of the pistol and decide later what to do with the pistol.
