Sell Firearm

Updated on July 14, 2026

Selling firearms:

Many hunters accumulate not only a wide variety of hunting gear over the years, but also an ever-growing number of firearms in the cabinet. On average, a German hunter owns 6–7 different long guns.

What do you do when you want to sell some of those firearms? Popular options include the auction platforms Auctronia or EGun, where gun owners can list items themselves.

Gunfinder now offers two great alternatives:

How is the price of a firearm determined?

The condition of the firearm is naturally the most important factor, but other elements such as the manufacturer, model, caliber, optics, and features all play a role. When it comes to features, their significance to hunters has shifted over time — for example, the quality of the stock wood was once considered a minor factor, whereas most new firearms today are offered in a wide range of wood grades, resulting in significant price differences. Conversely, elaborate engravings were very popular among hunters in past decades, but today they are only appreciated by enthusiasts in the form of a higher purchase price. Here you'll find an overview of the most important criteria.

How should I structure my online listing?

Above all, keep it clear — precise descriptions help your listing be found via the search function on the respective platform, and especially by Gunfinder's search algorithm. The clearer the listing, the higher it will rank in search results. Multiple photos, especially of wear parts, give potential buyers a clear impression of the firearm's condition. Here you'll find a detailed guide on how to structure your listing to achieve the best possible price.

Who is eligible to buy my firearm?

In addition to the Waffenschein or Jagdschein, there are various forms of the Waffenbesitzkarte (WBK for short), each granting owners different rights. Here you'll find an overview of which document authorizes what.
