Carry it around with you alllllll day, and you'd be surprised at the amount of people coming up to you and asking if your gun is for sale and how much you want for it.
When selling a long gun, it lets people know that the gun slung over my shoulder is being sold instead of a new purchase. When selling a handgun, that pistol case or gun rug in my hand is for sale, not a new purchase. Generated a lot of people asking.
If you can't sell your gun here for a fair price, then a gun show would probably be your best opportunity. I had my Colt M4 with me when I was looking for a light to mount at one. I probably had close to a dozen people ask me how much I was selling it for. I did not have a sign on or anything that would even hint that I was selling it. I can't imagine what I could have gotten for it if I had wanted to sell it since this was only a few months after Sandy Hook.
