But to do that I would have to use a site like gun broker .Can I just hall it in to a gun show and go table to table asking if the dealer is interested or do you have to rent a table to sell it at a show I se there is a show in mt clemons this weekend here in Mi

You can post an add here on the forum under ammo an ,as been stated, you can ship via UPS as long as the box is maked or labeled with the ORM label.
Don't even think about trying the Post Office - it wouldn't be pretty IF you got caught.
If you use the forum or other gun related forums - be VERY aware of certain state restrictions.

1) know your state laws.

2) assuming #1 has no restrictions. You can go to a gun show with a sign saying "ammo for sale". When asked what and how much you can sell it if the person is an adult. Like this...

ME: how much is that ammo
YOU: the price is $$$$
ME: here's the money


3) put it for sale here or elsewhere and when you get a buyer you go to the UPS main hub with the boxed up ammo and give it to them. The box must have ORMD written on it

Here's what I do (most people). Ask for a Postal Money Order. Wait for it, deposit, and then go ship the ammo. You don't need PP.

I just sold 2 lots of ammo and one handgun barrel. Everyone who bought from me sent me Postal Money Orders

Buy a trench coat, sew some ammo loops into the inside, hang out on street corners and ask people walking by "hey, wanna buy some ammo"?

Advertise it in a local paper or local craigslist type site. You could also take it to a gunshow. Ammo isn't hard to get rid of lately.

The Michigan Gun Owners Forum (MGO) is your answer. There is a marketplace there for ammo and it's free to use. It is easy to set up face to face meetings with the buyer.

One note, the site is undergoing an upgrade and will be down until March 15th.

I used it on a number of occassions and it works very well. Just google MGO forums and it will be right there.

Well, we have a swap-meet coming up at the Oakland County Sportsman's Club on March 23, just up I-75 past Pontiac. O.C.S.C.

You could either get your own table, or see if any of the dealers there would be interested in buying or trading. If you check the range safety video you'll see the indoor pistol range where this will be set up.

Put an ad up at local stores. You will get calls. Better to conduct biz face-to-face, plus you don't have to bother about shipping.

I bought too much 22lr when I first got my 22 pistol. I sold some (for what I paid, dont flame) on both Armslist and migunowners forum.

The forum was the best for me. I live on the west side, and even though most of the forum seems to be east, it worked out great and I sold my ammo quickly.

The forum is down for maintenance now, but feel free to join up when it comes back in a couple of days. MGO Community Forum

My username is the same over there, PM me if you need help.
