What is the limit of individual sales of firearms in Georgia?

No limits. 'Merica. Be careful and make sure there is no possible way to assume that you are selling them "for profit".

Selling "for profit" is not illegal and depends on market conditions. It you bought a Glop Gen 1 Model 3 for a FMV of $200 and some fool is now willing to pay $1000 for it, good for you,

Engaging IN THE BUSINESS of selling guns without the appropriate licenses is against the law.

That's a pretty gray are between selling and making a profit vs selling for a profit. Idk what qualifies as "in the business" but we've all seen lemondae stands shut down for not having licenses and crazy crap like that.

There is no law against selling for a profit. There is a law against buying with the intent to sell unless you have a license. Profit has nothing to do with it. Lemonade stands being shut down are due to local ordinances. Not federal law. There is no limit to how many of your own private collection you sell and no limit to how much you can profit from the sale. You can buy one today, decide you don't like it and sell it for a profit tomorrow and you are fine as long as you did not buy it intending to sell. Trading is not any different. If you buy it with the intent of trading it for something else, whether it is cash, another firearm or other goods or services, it could be said that you are in the business without a licence however, intent can be hard to prove.

I think intent can be hard to disprove also. But this is a very clear explanation. Thank you for the clarification.
 
What you THINK is the 'spirit' of the law and what the letter of the law is, seldom coincide.
But the generic answer to OP's question, as stated, is, there is no "limit" and there is no law that even hints at a "limit". At least not in Georgia.
Unrelated to his question, OP is reducing a collection and at least based on his feedback here, is apparently not "in the business" of selling firearms. <--- That's a non-legal opinion.

Exactly. Thank you
 
Do NOT bundle all of it up for convenience and expect some pawn shop or gun dealer to give you a fair value, PERIOD. Piece them out here, individually for the price you want and adjust accordingly based on response. Been there done that.
Do it slowly and enjoy the friendship along the way .
