- My standard transfer fee is
$30 per firearm. I also offer
multiple-transfer discounts for buyers
receiving more than one firearm when I
can legally combine these transactions.
- I charge flat rates when
ordering firearms. The rate is $35 per
item for each $1,000 segment of the
wholesale price. For example, a $500
wholesale pistol would be $535 + tax at
retail, and an $1,100 wholesale rifle
would be $1,170 + tax at retail.
Ammunition, parts, and accessories will
be marked up 15% over wholesale.
- I am happy to offer
consignment sales. Items typically sell
on auction at GunBroker. My base fee for
the service is $35, but if an item sells
for significantly higher than the
starting price, I will take a 10% share
of this “windfall” after all auction
fees and other expenses have been
accounted for. The specific pricing
model on consignments is the seller’s
prerogative. I recommend starting high
and gradually reducing, which means my
base fee is usually all that will apply.
- Sales taxes apply to all
commercial sales but exclude transfer
fees, private-party transactions, and
certain other fees. However, many
out-of-state sellers now report and
collect taxes on their sales into
Washington. Sometimes, transactions that
should be exempt will be taxed as a
result. I have no control over this.
- Legally, anyone can ship a
firearm to an Federal Firearms License
holder anywhere in the United States.
Some FFLs will only accept firearms from
other FFLs, but this is not required.
USPS prohibits handguns from
non-FFLs, and UPS and FedEx require
these to ship overnight, which can be
expensive. Upon request, I will provide
FFL-to-FFL shipping at cost plus $10 per
shipment.
- The state currently assesses
an $18 fee on every semi-automatic rifle
sold or transferred to offset the
expense of its “enhanced”
background-check program. This fee is
set to apply to all firearms beginning
in 2024, but it will transition to a
per-transaction fee at that time.
