Anytime I have a high end gun , I put it on gunbroker.
I have never been disappointed.
They have always sold for more on gunbroker than I was asking locally.
I don't even waste my time listing high end guns locally anymore.

What is your idea of "high end"? I've sold mid-range stuff on this site ($500-1000 handguns) but expensive guns tend to sit until people drop prices lower than I feel I'd pay in consignment fees. So I tend to take more expensive items straight to consignment. I forget the exact prices, but I had a few items here for ~$1200. I dropped the price a couple times and they still didn't sell. Took them to consignment at $1300 and they sold in a day.
I've bought a few things on Gunbroker over the years but never sold anything there. I'd probably make more money on the sales but I don't sell that often (just when cleaning out items that haven't left the safe in a decade) so I've only sold locally.
I'm surprised there isn't a shop that caters to the "sell it for me" market. If someone gave a fair price like 10% non-refundable listing fee plus some % of profit above your target price, I'd use that service. I've done that with a neighbor for non-guns on FB Marketplace. I don't have time to deal with tire kickers and my neighbor loves that stuff. So I'll give him a thing and say "I just want $200 for it - anything more you can keep", and we're both happy.

I always suggest try local first. Post here and if nothing moves then look to sell online. If rimfire try rimfirecentral.com, tactical snipers hide.com...etc....

Gunbroker is good. If you want to attract buyers, it's advisable to have reviews (whether buying or selling, similar to eBay) as reputation is important.
