What Does your Dealer Charge

[writwing]

Looking to purchase a Bisley BH from one of the guns on RF but my dealer wants $40 to bring it in.

That seems pricey, what do you guys pay?

He is not a Lipsey Dealer so he cant get the gun.

 

[Bucks Owin]

Was $60 last year here in North Kalifornication, probably more now! Everything else is... :x

 

[hittman]

My dealer charges ~ generally ~ $20.00.

However, I've been a pretty good customer there and it's not unusual to get one "on the house".

 

[Hobie]

$20 plus the background check $2 for $22 total.

 

[Tommy Kelly]

My dealer charged me 30.00 for the transfer on my gun. I have a permit so he didn't have to call it in. Just the in store paperwork.

 

[Wyandot Jim]

Other people $15.00
Me $0.0000

 

[Danjet500]

Usually $0. Sometimes $20. I do all my bullet, powder etc buying there so he treats me right. I have also bought a few guns from him over the years.

 

[JoePike]

Most shops around here are $25.

 

[recumbent]

$20 total.

 

[BRL]

The one I went to, closest to me, $25
Others around here charge $50.
That's quite a difference.

 

[Tradhunter]

$10. Charged me $5 the other day because he didn't have change. Shop around if you can. Sounds high.

 

[Bkat]

Best price I've found in Houston is $20, at 10ring.com on Jones Rd. $30 to $40 is not uncommon. There's even one shop I know of that charges $75. I have no idea why anyone would use them.

 

[Ruber]

It depends, I'll go to my FFL for a private party transfer and he winds up charging me about $10 ($1 per day it's gotta stay in his safe :roll: )

From a distributor I'll use my local gun shop and $40-60 is about right for me, this still winds up being much, much less than MSRP. I don't haggle too much for it, it's nice having a dealer open late that I can more or less walk to. These guys will order a NIB gun for me at the same cost as one on the shelf just because it's got dust in the action.

Having a storefront with lots of models to pull down and check out costs a bunch, especially in southern California, I've got no problem with supporting my local GS... :wink:

 

[pzlehr]

It costs me $10.00 from my dealer who is also a Police Officer. I have dealt with other dealers before I found this one and they charged anywhere from $25.00 to $40.00.

[SteelShooter]

$35.00, no charge on balckpowder transfers (Old Armies)

 

[5of7]

I do a lot of transfers and the going rate is $20.

If I had a store front business, it might be more because whenever a potential customer buys a gun online, you just might have lost a sale.

 

[flatheadsal]

my dealer is $40 handguns, $30 for rifles, most others around here are $60 to $75 for handguns, they think all us Long Islanders are rich I guess

 

[Ruger Packer]

Sometimes my FFL guy charges me ($20), sometimes he doesn't. Last 2 times he didn't charge me a thing.

 

[Sacramento Johnson]

$50, and that's the cheapest I've found in this area.
It really impacts on purchases...

 

[Driftwood Johnson]

Howdy

Haven't done a transfer for sometime now. I seem to remember about $30 was the going rate. It is of course up to the individual FFL holder. They can charge whatever they want. I don't begrudge them the money to do the paperwork, but I put as many guns on my C&R as possible, to avoid the charges.

 

[ar15ed]

10.00 at two different places.

i don't know if you know this, but you can go on gunbroker, hit "for buyers", hit "find a transfer dealer", and punch in your zip code. it will list dealers in order of their distance from you, and includes their price, phone number, email, address, etc.

i use it all the time. i even use it for sellers, to help them find someone close to them, if they don't know anyone.

it is handy! good luck!

 

[rugerjunkie]

$0 here...and anything in the book from firearms,ammo,components for cost. You'd think a guy would save money!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

 

[slowrider]

$10 incoming. Usually around $25-$30 for outgoing on a handgun including packing and shipping cost.

 

[Chief_10Beers]

$25-$35 Where I'm at..................................

 

[TheDude]

The three shops in town I use all charge $25 long and $30 handgun per transfer. Of course The Gistapo here in Washington State now also charges sales tax on all inbound FFL transfers.

 

[TheDude]

....that means sales tax on the price of the gun plus shipping charges at 8.9%.

 

[41manor44]

My dealer charges $20. He says he's trying to get new customers not drive them away. He's number one on my list to check with first.

 

[Ruger Packer]

....that means sales tax on the price of the gun plus shipping charges at 8.9%.

Thats a ripoff. :roll:

They never owned the stock (the firearm) and charge sales tax on property you bought from someone else! I'd call my state dept of revenue and report the business.

 

[atarian]

$35 is the cheapest around, and that means within 20 miles. Plus the state now charges "use tax" which is the equivalent of sales tax, so an online purchase that is not C&R (i.e. not shipped directly to me) is now shipping cost + $35 + 8.65%.

As was mentioned, it really cuts down on purchases online.

If you buy at an online auction (like Rock Island or whatever, not GunBroker) add another 17.5%. That's how a $300 gun ends up at $450 or more.

 

[Doc Thornton]

I pay $20 but if I get 2 guns from 2 different sources as I did recently,
they still only charge me $20 if I pick up both guns at the same time.

The FFL holder/dealer is SeeGifts in Hartville Ohio.

Nice folks.
