Selling handguns interstate

I would like to start selling off some of my handguns that I am not much interested in. I've never sold a gun before. Problem seems to be that as a non-FFL, I cannot send guns out of state by USPS but need to use a carrier, who all seem to require the gun sent by overnight air. Is that correct?

My problem is this. The handguns I initially want to sell are all worth less than $400 and some are worth less than $100. That doesn't justify paying for overnight air. When I bought these cheap guns, I generally paid about $10-20 for shipping and received them through USPS. I'm pretty sure that the sellers did not have FFLs but just because they may have broken the law does not encourage me to do so. I want to stay legal.

Seems that my best legal option would be to find a local FFL (I'm in Houston) who for a fee would mail a handgun on my behalf via USPS. Am I still correct?

My question then is, do you know of a specific FFL in Houston who is willing to provide this service and how much do they charge?
