I am just now debating on whether to sell some of my collection. Think if I’m not shooting it, needs to go. Can’t wait to see the views on this topic.
I have sold several air guns and only had one that the buyer had a complaint about. Turns out he knew way more about air guns than I did and determined it was actually a problem from the factory and was able to get it fixed under warranty. The gun was purchased brand new and I only had it a few month before selling it because it wasn't what I wanted. I hadn't done anything more than clean the barrel and shot some pellets through it, so had no idea the damage was even present. I was fortunate the buyer was experienced with air guns and a very good guy, it could have gone south if not. So, I understand your apprehension.
I agree with op. It's to hard to sell a gun and guarentee it's great forever. People expect the world of a used gun. It's going to leak sooner or later. Sorry but if I sell any gun I'm selling them as parts so nobody can complain and slander me when something leaks or breaks on a used gun. I learned my lesson trying to deal with an unhappy customer. Never again

Intentionally break your gun to sell it as a parts gun.
If F&F, how do they even know what I'm selling, if anything at all?So what? A gift of money is considered taxable income?
