If you are looking to determine the value of a single firearm or need professional support selling part of a larger collection, our appraisal and consignment services offer a dependable and straightforward solution. We work with firearm owners, collectors, families, and estates to provide accurate evaluations and help connect sellers with serious, qualified buyers. Our team focuses on clear communication, realistic pricing guidance, and a well-managed process that helps reduce uncertainty while protecting the value of your firearms.
Appraisals
Gain a better understanding of your firearm’s current market value through our professional appraisal services. We carefully review factors such as overall condition, manufacturer history, rarity, local and national demand, and recent comparable sales to provide an informed and practical estimate. Appraisals can be helpful for selling decisions, insurance documentation, estate planning, or simply learning more about the value of items in your collection.
Appraisals are available in-store for individual firearms and can also be scheduled on-site for larger collections that may be difficult to transport. Pricing varies depending on the number of firearms and the level of evaluation required. Contact our team to discuss your needs, ask questions about the process, and arrange a convenient time for your appraisal.
Consignment
Our firearm consignment service offers a convenient way to sell without managing the listing, buyer communication, or transaction details on your own. We promote your firearm to interested buyers, handle inquiries, and manage the required paperwork to help create a smoother and more organized selling experience. This approach allows you to benefit from professional exposure while saving time and reducing the stress often associated with private sales.
Consignment items are sold with a 20% commission based on the final selling price, and there is no set time limit on how long your firearm can remain available for sale. If you decide to retrieve an unsold item, a $40 transfer fee per firearm applies. Speak with our team to learn more about preparing your firearm for consignment and getting started.
