I live in a state where AKM rifles in 7.62x39 are under another state AWB. It is illegal to sell my now banned rifles to another state resident. If I were to sell an SAR1 (AKM) on Gun Broker, does Gun Broker make sure the assault weapon is sold to an FFL in a state where an AK-type is legal or is that my responsibility? Thanks.
Anyone ever sell a gun on Gun Broker?

It's on you to make sure the item you sell is legal in the buyer's state. GunBroker doesn't get involved in that AFAIK. IME, GB doesn't get involved in much of anything, but that's another thread.
It's less a problem with firearms that have to go through an FFL than it is with states that make, say, mags with more than 10 round capacity, illegal to sell.
The buyer wants the mags, you want to sell them and, if you sell them to someone in one of those draconian-lawed states, you MIGHT find yourself in trouble.
Most FFLs, OTOH, know what is legal in their state and won't get involved in some problem-purchase.
Lots of ads on GB and AA say "No sales to CA, NY, NJ, MA, etc. even when the item might be legal there just because they don't want to risk it.

Sell a gun on GunBroker ???
Hi...All GunBroker will guarantee is that they get their cut ! All legalities are between you and the buyer. It is up to you both to determine the legality of any sale. There are links to state and federal laws governing the sale of firearms on the GB site. It is your responsibility to read and understand them. Otherwise, let a local FFL licensed dealer handle the sale for you ( for a commision, of course). BT

I think you have answered your own question. I would make a whole bunch of inquiries before doing anything that you are not sure of. It's just not worth the headaches or possible legal ramifications.

So post them here in the classifieds and ship them through an FFL. I've found you get more fair and realistic prices that way, anyway, unless you have something extremely rare and hot and can have folks fighting over it in a bidding war on the auction sites.
And here, you have a pretty good shot at selling to someone who is more or less known to you and the trust factor on this board has been pretty good to me. All my transactions have proven to be cordial with honorable people and a real pleasure. I know there have been a few bad experiences with a small number of folks, but they don't last beyond the one deal and then they usually aren't very welcome around here anymore.
And I gather the owners (current and previous) are/were pretty insistent that anyone who tries to rip someone off here has to deal with them.
