If I had to sell it to a dealer, who would set the resale price? Because If I HAD to sell to a dealer, they would have me over a barrel (funny pun, but not intended) on what the price would be.

You would not have to sell your gun to a dealer.
Lets say you decided to sell your gun and I decided to buy it. Lets also assume that neither of us are gun dealers. We would have to go down to the local gun shop where the licensed dealer would fill out paperwork on me, do a NICS check on me, and if that came back OK, I would give you money, you would give me the gun and one of us would pay a small fee to the dealer.
The idea here is that many states don't do this check so a private individual can sell a gun to anyone without a background check. With no background check, any criminal that wanted a gun could buy one from any law abiding citizen looking to sell a gun.
