My FFL charges me $10.00...I think that is a good deal. I've heard of much higher!

Mine is a friend as well as my dealer. He could charge me whatever and I just pay it. I trust him and he trusts me. I guess he charges $10 -20 per. But I am usually getting something else so it is all in the total and I just don't look.
Had it made before I moved to Maine, in NH I have a friend who had a sport shop and he charged me 0 dolars for transfer. Now I pay Dave 25 down to the trading post. ps
Local pawn shop charged 10 bucks last year but Jan 1st went to 15.
Super good deal if you bring in more than one. I got 5 from a few auctions and it was all for 10 bucks! (last year) You can do up to 5 guns on the transfer paper work. If I had 6 come in it would have been another 10 bucks. Basically charge per form.

Howdy bigtubby!
That $25 for the background check here in NV is a rip off by the FFLs here. That's really a part of the local FFL's charge for the transfer. I know two FFLs here and they give me the same BS; "It's only $25 for the transfer but it'll be another $25 for the background check phone call". Like they're not pocketing both. To me that's really a $50 transfer.
When I go over to Metro to register a new gun, they do that same background check phone call, and don't charge a thing.

RP...that is state law. The gunshops have no choice. They all hate it, it makes a TON more paperwork for them but they have to do it. It sucks for sure but the gunshops are not to blame. It is the Gistapo law makers here in WA state.

I charge 25.00 and sometimes I don't think that is enough. Most place here don't do transfers anymore. People think they are getting a great deal from buying on the internet but by the time they pay my transfer fee and I have to charge a tax.... the state calls it a "use tax" not sales tax the deal don't seem so great afterwards. In WA for handguns we have to send a state form to the county or city the person purchasing the gun is from and a copy to the state. It takes time to find were these forms need to be sent and most of the time you have more than an hour of time in it. Costs for us is postage, envelopes and time droping it off at the post office. I feel I should be able to charge a handling fee to the state for collecting their USE TAX for a sale I don't make any money on...

Why would the state require a background check, in ADDITION to the background check that is conducted by the FBI?
The FBI checks the records in the state where the purchaser lives anyway.
Read the post three up by RPM Enterprises. They only submit for a second background check on a handgun. That one goes to the city and state.
Thats not my gripe though, its the charging of "use tax" on an internet purchase, which equates to sales tax. That was new for 2010.
The second background check only means another form similar to the one we've always filled out for the ATF which takes the buyer another 5 minutes. Its the extra 70 - 80 bucks for sales tax that chaps me.

I pay the 5 dollar background check............
I have two different FFL's that charge me $10 per transfer. I'm very happy with that.

The shops around these rual parts want $45.00 and $40.00, respectively. A guy I know just got his ffl, though, and while I've made it no secret that I expect free transfers, he plans on charging the general public $20.00. There's a guy just over the state line that does them for $7.00! Does me no good though.$40.00 is high. Check the gunbroker ffl directory for your area. See if you can't do better.
