Questions about selling your gun

It depends on the path you pick, and we publish the rates instead of making you guess. Say your gun retails used for $1,000: a cash offer runs 70%–75% ($700–$750, paid same day, cash or check; fast-selling models price at the top of that band). Consignment nets you 85% ($850) after our commission, but you wait for it to sell.

Large collections get a premium over per-gun rates. One trip and one negotiation saves us money, and we pass some of that back.

Every offer comes with the reasoning behind it — the condition call, what the model sells for, and how fast it moves — and you can sanity-check us before you walk in with the estimator on the sell page. The final price is set in person, once we have the gun on the counter.

Cash if you want it done today — paid cash or check before you leave. Consignment if the gun is worth enough to wait for: you keep more of a bigger number.

When you get your quote we'll tell you which path we'd pick in your shoes.

A flat 15% commission — you net 85% of the sale price, however the buyer pays: card fees come out of our side, never yours. The minimum commission is $50 per lot, not per gun, so several inexpensive firearms consigned together share one minimum for the whole lot.

The listing runs 90 days. If it hasn't sold by then, it closes out one of three ways: we drop the price together, we make you a cash offer, or you pick the gun up — pickup is legally a transfer, so the paperwork and background check apply. You approve the listing price before it goes up and any change after, and you're paid within 5 business days of the sale clearing.

Cash offers: same day you accept, cash or check, before you leave. Consignment: within 5 business days of the sale clearing.

Bring photo ID and the MA license that matches what you’re selling, plus the gun (unloaded, cased if you can) and anything that came with it — box, papers, extra magazines, accessories. Those genuinely raise the number.

We handle the transfer paperwork at the counter. You bring photo ID and the MA license that matches what you’re selling. From there the chain of custody is ours.

The quote form lets you add guns one by one, or just describe the collection — "about 50 long guns, mostly Winchester and Remington" is plenty to start. For anything bigger than a car trunk, we come to you: on-site evaluation, secure transport, itemized offer for every piece.

You choose per-gun, too. Cash for the common stuff, consignment for the valuable pieces — a mixed path usually gets an estate the most money.

You see the whole calculation before you decide anything: the condition we graded it at, what the model sells for, how fast it moves, and the percentage we pay. That math is posted on the sell page and it's the same for everyone. If another shop beats our number, ask them to walk you through theirs the same way.

A few categories: firearms we can't transfer in-state, guns with removed or altered serial numbers, and guns in unsafe condition — though we'll still appraise those and tell you what your options are.

There's no sales tax when you sell to us. Income tax generally only comes into play if you sell for more than you paid — most owners selling a used personal gun don't hit that. For appreciated collections and estates, get an accountant involved; we'll provide the itemized valuations they'll ask for.
