moral dilema...gun buy back programs

O.k., here is the situation: I have a Raven Arms .25 ACP I would like to sell, but nobody is interested in buying it, even at a greatly reduced price. The gun buy back program will give me $50 for the gun. I also have two long guns that don't work (one has a broken part that is too expensive to replace, the other has head space issues that are too costly to fix for the model of the gun). I was asking $100 for both, and was willing to trade them for a credit on a new firearm, but again....nobody is interested. I can get $100 each for a long arm in the gun buy back program.

I don't like what gun buy back programs stand for, but if they are willing to give me what I'm asking for these firearms, and firearms dealers aren't, why shouldn't I sell it to the buy back program, as opposed to letting them collect dust in my safe?

All thoughts and opinions welcome...........
