Hi everyone, I am going to sell my beloved Feinwerkbau 103 match pistol that looks just like new. I am from Germany and they are very sought after here, but even more so in the states due to rarity. Can you tell me the best sites, where I could offer it for auction and get the most attention?

I'd suggest before anything else, you find a method for shipping to the USA. DHL will not carry anything resembling a 'gun' since about 2013; and express services from Germany are incredibly costly - the reason why those of us who used to pick up bargains on eGun have been out of luck for a decade now.

eBay and Gunbroker are the best auction sites but both have fees And sales tax.
TargetTalk.com and here are enthusiast sites so you would have to determine a fixed price.
Be prepared to be challenged as a scammer due to just joining with few posts. Your honesty and integrity will be questioned.
Good luck!

Gunbroker or Guns International would be my recommendation. GI deals in more exotic guns so that may have a better potential customer base, willing to spend more money.
This member's classified is a bargain basement site for actual sales. Lots of really high "ask" prices but few are realized. We are a bunch of tightwads!

so shipping as stated so your first problem and that is solved by shipping out of the Netherlands
i know of one Target Air Gun dealer in Germany that goes to the Netherlands once a month to ship to the states and other places
now you could use AA as several European sellers do, will you be trusted is another story

solve the problems and then sell the gun and if you follow through figure out how the person will pay bank transfer like Egun or Pay Pal transfer also like Egun

Thank you for the advice, very much appreciated. I have a few options for shipping, but shipping from the Netherlands is another good idea and maybe the cheapest way. And trust shouldn't be a problem. I will accept Paypal so both parties are safe and I can supply pics on demand.

when you use Pay Pal to move money o honest people no matter what you are paying for who care
are you going to tug on Pay Pal shirt sheeve and say i am paying for a gun HELL NO the business is between to accounts
the payment is fast whereas i bank transfer is a PITA
but i don't care what you use
and one other thing Pay Pal accounts tell the buyer that the seller should be fine

I believe PayPal sees what buyers post in the comments field of purchases, so I ALWAYS instruct airgun buyers to never mention anything that in any way can be construed by ignorants as GUN!
in their PP purchase comments. When it comes to GUNS!
, ignorants don't distinguish airguns from firearms; often even when laws and regulations grant airguns immunity from prejudices.I often print out airgun shipping laws or (company) shipping regulations to show anti-gunner clerks attempting to ruin my day. If they persist after being educated, I ask for their superior. In other words, repay their BS... WITH INTEREST!
The reason people and companies behave badly is because they get away with it. I go out of my way to hold bad actors to account for bad behavior; sometimes it works. Think Budweiser (Light).
