What we expect & what you can expect

Condition & inspection

Condition:: When you submit your firearm, be accurate and include accessories (magazines, case, original packaging).
Upon receipt:: Our experts will inspect your firearm including serial number integrity, accessories, condition, magazines, and case.
Payment:: If everything matches your description, payment is processed immediately — you can choose how you want to be paid (ACH or check). In extremely rare cases where condition is worse than portrayed, we’ll contact you to adjust the offer.

Nationwide coverage & legal compliance

We are a federally licensed FFL and adhere to all state and federal firearms laws. While our process remains the same across the country, state-specific rules can vary. If you’d like detailed guidance for your specific state, visit our State by State Selling Guide.

Submitted an item for review and evaluation. Offer came quickly and was what I considered to be fair given current market conditions. Process was quick and payment was just as fast and secure. Would very happily do business with again.

I can't say enough about this company, and how easy and smooth it is to nagivate their website and go through their process to sell. Very professional and I wouldn't do business with anyother company. Thanks

Everything I experienced with your company was first class. This was my first time selling and the process was flawless. I got the best offer and received payment in less than a week. I called costumer service twice to make sure I was doing everything right and both times spoke with people who were polite and professional . I strongly encourage anyone looking to sell to give this company your business. Couldn't be more pleased. Thank you!

Downsizing my collection in retirement for my new hobby. Did my research and everything pointed to We Buy Guns as being one of the best opportunities to downsize. A simple and easy process from start to finish and in less than a week from submitting firearms for consideration to accepting offer I was paid $4,100 as was offered by the We Buy Guns team. Expectations exceeded and as I look to reduce my collection I will be back again.

I just sold a few handguns to We Buy Guns I haven't shot in awhile. These guys made the process super simple. I was a first timer for this sort of thing. They gave me fair prices in my estimation and had higher offers than their competitors. I don't think it could have been simpler for someone who had never done this before.
