Default Where would be good ad site

I have a shotgun for sale. First time to sell a gun, little nervous. Who could tell me what I should do for the PAL? Just take a look? Do I need to make a copy? What if the buyer is out of the town?

BTW, I know I cannot post ad on kijiji, but which website would be the best for advertisement? Thank you in advance.

you can post an ad on this site to start
when selling online you ask for a photo of the buyers PAL and then you can call in to the cfo and ask for verification on the PAL number. after that its just a matter of boxing up your firearm and shipping it to the buyer. make sure to ask for signature verification when shipping.

This site or CGN are your best outlets for advertising a used firearm. As for the PAL see Tikka250's post.

I prefer to use a site like this or canadiangunnutz because it is easier to check out potential buyers/sellers if not local. Town post is good as well. If it is being shipped don't ship until funds are received. There is no need to ask for pic of pal just the number. If your buying from a site like town post, and buyer/seller does not have a history on a forum like this, I get a pic of person with ID/address and Rifle. if it feels weird it probably is.

While cgn has more viewers, I have found great sucess here. More of a local audience here as well.

Yes, and less tinfoil hatters as well.
Post it up with pictures of course and be prepared for a few extra questions.
Shipping is the next hurdle, but follow the advice of Canada Post or the RCMP Website in regards to mailing firearms and you'll so fine.
