Can I legally sell my firearm to WeBuyGuns.com from my state?

Yes. WeBuyGuns.com is a federally licensed firearms dealer (FFL). Selling to us is the same as selling to a local gun store. We handle all required federal paperwork and transfers so the process stays fully compliant with the law.

How does the process work if I decide to sell?

Submit your firearm details and photos online, receive a cash offer within 24–36 business hours, accept the offer, then ship using our prepaid label. Once your firearm is received and verified, you get paid.

Do I have to pay for shipping or any fees?

No. Shipping is fully covered and there are no hidden fees or commissions. The offer you accept is the amount you receive.

Can I sell multiple firearms or an entire collection?

Absolutely. You can submit multiple firearms through your account or contact us directly for estates and large collections. Our team regularly handles multi-item purchases and can streamline everything for you.

How quickly do I get paid?

Most sellers are paid within a few days of us receiving their firearm. You can choose payment by check or ACH direct deposit during the offer process.

Do I need to create an account first?

No. You can start an offer without creating an account. We only collect the information needed to evaluate your firearm and communicate your offer.

What if my state has specific gun laws or requirements?

Each state has different rules for private sales and transfers. Our state guides explain what applies locally. When you sell to us, we handle the licensed transfer side so you do not have to navigate those rules yourself.
