Our goal is to make the process of selling a gun safe and easy for everyone involved.
Our submission page is only intended for people who are serious about selling their firearm. Because of the fact it takes time for our staff to go through each submission we ask that you only contact us if you are ready to sell your gun. If you are interested in a firearm appraisal for insurance or personal purposes please contact us for more information.
On rare occasions a gun will not pass our inspection after receiving the firearm. Reasons can include the condition not being as described or the gun has been altered. This can be prevented by being as detailed in your description as possible. In the event that the gun fails inspection the buyer will be charged a $50.00 fee as well as be responsible for return shipping. However for example it is discovered that a part is missing that may have been overlooked by the seller, we will offer to replace the part and deduct the cost of the part from the payment. Very few guns ever fail inspection and if you are unsure of a potential issue with your gun please call us before sending or accepting an offer.
This is always an option, but there is a lot of risk. There is currently no way for a private citizen to conduct a background check and determine if someone can legally own a firearm. If your gun is used in a crime you may be held liable. Many states also require registration on firearms and failure to register the sale of your firearm may result in legal troubles for you and your family.
