Know what your gun is worth before you sell it.

Get a realistic value range online. We inspect the firearm, handle the paperwork, and honor the written quote when it matches the photos.

Step 1 — the gun

Condition — guidelines under each, your best guess is fine

Where most guns land. Light holster or safe wear, a small mark or two, finish mostly intact. Works exactly as it should. Box not required. · Condition guide →

Your guess is fine. We confirm it in person.

It’s worth enough to wait for.

We photograph it, write the condition report, and list it in the store and to our buyer network. You net 85% however the buyer pays — card fees come out of our side. If it hasn’t sold by day 90, we close it out together: drop the price, take our cash offer, or pick it up (pickup is legally a transfer — paperwork and background check apply).

15% commission · $50 per-lot minimum · 90-day close-out

Used retail is what your gun realistically sells for used, in its condition — every offer below is a share of that. The estimator shows the math for your gun, and the written quote includes the path we’d pick and why.

How the written quote works

1

Estimate

Make, model, condition. A realistic range in about a minute, no contact info needed to see the numbers.

2

Photos & contact

Guided shots tighten the range into a number we can stand behind. Then tell us where to send it.

3

Written quote by email

Itemized, versioned, valid 14 days. We honor it when the gun matches the photos.

4

Accept & book

Accept on your private quote page, pick a time, get paid — cash or check — after inspection.

A collection or an estate?

Whole safes get their own process: a rough inventory or photos of what you have, house calls statewide, and an itemized offer for every piece, built for heirs and executors who don’t know what they’re looking at yet.
