See the penal code for California (PC section 12072(d). Weather you live in Cali or not, if you are not a licensed dealer, you must sell or transfer any firearm through a licensed dealer. period. I suggest obeying the law. (PC section 12072(d)) Craigslist states at the beginning of their list of prohibited items, that you are bound by the laws of California, where CL is originated.

Private firearms sales generally occur at a lower price point because the seller is not trying to cover overhead. South Carolina does not have a waiting period.

As far as selling guns on Craigslist - this is against the CL rules, but not illegal. BATFE regulations require that a sale out of state be shipped to an Federal Firearms License holder, where the buyer picks up the firearm after passing the checks. Within the state (and this is true for any state, not just SC) you are permitted to sell pre-owned firearms to anyone without restrictions. Granted, if you know the buyer cannot legally own a firearm you may have some explaining to do - but you are not required to ask.

The benefit for most gun buybacks is the no-hassle guarantee- mopes can turn in stolen weapons, illegal weapons (e.g., non-registered sawed off shotguns), or guns with obliterated serial numbers without penalty or prosecution. I don't know if that was the case with the program in Cola... Regardless, what you generally collect are bags full of tired old guns (a large percentage of which are inoperative) that have been lying around in closets for years, but since they could have been used in a crime eventually there is some benefit. For the most part, though, real-deal, gangbangin' mopes do not swing by to drop off their high quality stuff for fifty or a hundred bucks...
