The Cash for Arms process
is simple and easy, just 3 steps:

If you are the rightful and legal owner of a firearm, you are able to sell it. If you are unable to legally possess firearms, due to prior felonies or other reasons, you will need to find a friend or family member to facilitate the sale on your behalf. We recommend familiarizing yourself with your local laws.

Sometimes gun enthusiasts regret the decision to sell their guns. If you accept our offer but then decide that you want to keep your guns instead, you can always change your mind before sending the items to us. Once we receive the items, however, we issue payment and the transaction is complete, so changing your mind after that point is not possible.

Your privacy is of the utmost importance to us. We are not required to and do not report the sale of firearms to the government. The transfer of ownership is handled by our FFL and we ensure your privacy during this transaction.

No, this is not a federal gun buyback program. We are a private company that buys firearms from individuals and dealers for resale.

Yes, we are a federal firearms licensee, licensed by the ATF.  Our FFL can be confirmed by visiting the ATF’s FFL Lookup Tool, and typing in 1-59-XXX-XX-XX-52473.

Cash for Arms is a federally licensed dealer (FFL) . We are a federal firearms licensee ourselves, so you will be dealing directly with an FFL (us), and do not need to go through a second FFL/gun broker. It means we will be also your transfer agents/gun broker. Regarding this, you can conduct a background check on us if you want to verify this information. You can ask your local gun store for some legality details.

The transfer process of your guns varies by state, so we encourage you to familiarize yourself with your own local law. In most states, the transfer process is simple and straightforward, and customers don’t need to do anything but sell their guns to our gun-buying service -- it’s as simple as that. In some states, you may need to complete and submit some documents to your state, which is why we give you a bill of sale with our FFL on it so that you can complete that transfer when needed. We are dedicated to complying with the law during every transaction.

Yes, like most other local gun shops, we do sell guns. Our business model is purchasing firearms from individuals and then reselling them online to our network of hundreds of thousands of gun buyers.

To buy a gun from us, you can participate in our penny auctions with no reserve price on various gun auction platforms. When you win, we accept payment with a credit card, personal check, certified check, or money order.

We do not offer formal gun appraisals, but we would be happy to make you an offer.

You can access our FFL using the EZ lookup tool at the top of our website. You can also see that the ship-to address on the labels we will send you is the same address as our registered FFL. Basically, any person who sells firearms is secured to transact with us, even first-time sellers.

Yes, we buy guns and gun accessories. However, if you only want to sell an accessory to us, it would need to carry substantial resale value in order for us to be able to make a competitive offer.

Yes, we buy gun ammunition. However, we are not able to make a competitive offer for your ammunition unless the value of the ammo is more than $200 (unless you’re selling other things to us). We can still make you an offer, but the fixed costs of each deal may eat into the offer substantially.  If you have rare ammo or a large quantity or it, then we would be able to make a fair offer to you for your ammunition by itself.

Yes, we buy all kinds of black powder weapons, including black powder rifles and black powder pistols.

We are not currently buying NFA Class 3 weapons or other firearms that fall into this category. However, we are in the process of getting licensed for it and are expecting to have this ability in the coming months.

Yes, we do buy air guns of all kinds.

We are a national firearm buyer and do not currently buy BB, airsoft, or paintball guns. If you need to sell any of these items, we recommend using eBay or Craigslist to find a buyer.

Yes, we buy all kinds of hunting and sporting gear. As long as the resale value of your gear is more than $200, we can make you a competitive offer for it.

Yes, we buy our clients’ entire gun collections. We can also buy part of your gun collection, or help you maximize the value of your collection through our Cash Consignment program.

Yes, we buy collections of all sizes and values. If you'd like to sell your gun collection, click the 'Sell a Gun Collection' button at the top of this page.

To sell your gun online in Cash for Arms, first, you need to submit your guns for sale here on our website. Once we receive the information about the gun you want to sell, we will make a money-in-your-pocket offer for the gun within 24 hours. If you accept the offer, we provide pre-paid shipping labels and instructions. Upon receiving the gun, we will inspect them and if everything is as described, will issue your payment within 24 hours via ACH direct deposit transfer to your bank account or check.

To get an offer for your gun, just fill out the submission form on our website. After that, our team will send a cash offer within 24 hours of your submission. If you don't want to use the online form, go to the bottom of our site and click the ‘Print Submission Form’ button. Then fill out the form and email it to us at support@cashforarms.com or fax it to (904) 484-9899.

If you don't want to use the online form, we have a more traditional option for you. Go to the bottom of our website and click the ‘Print Submission Form’ button. Fill out the form and email it to us at support@cashforarms.com or fax it to (904) 484-9899. Then, we will send you an offer to buy your guns. Make sure to include pictures. A good picture is very important for us to assess your gun.

If you would like to speak to one of our gun specialists about selling your guns, you can schedule a 15-minute consultation by clicking here. We encourage you to submit your guns for an offer first, and then, if you are happy with your offer, or have questions, a consultation may be more helpful at that point. If you are trying to get a formal appraisal or answer other questions about your guns, you can try going to your local gun shops.

We buy guns quickly, and the speed of the process is up to you! If you accept our offer, we will provide shipping instructions, and as soon as we receive the items, we will send payment within 24 hours. The faster you can get the items to us, the faster you'll get paid!

The ownership transfers once we review your guns, check them in, and issue your payment.

When we buy guns, we either keep the guns for our own investment vault or resell the firearm to buyers who are legally eligible to purchase them. We ensure all sales comply with local, state, and federal laws.

Payment email is sent after items are received. The customer selects the payout method in the email: ACH transfer, Print out a check for the same-day mobile app or bank teller deposit, or Paper check mailed with no transfer fee.

Payments are issued within 24 hours of the date of receiving and processing the firearm.

Shipping is easy. We provide pre-paid shipping labels and instructions once you accept our offer, and then you are responsible for shipping the firearm to us.

If a package is damaged by the carrier, or lost in transit, we stand by and cover our sellers, honoring the full payout. However, if the items are damaged due to poor packaging, an insufficient box that was too small, or too weak for the items, then a reduction would take place as insurance doesn't cover careless packaging.

To ship your ammo, you will need to pack it securely in a completely separate box on its own. Ammunition isn't allowed to be shipped in the same box as guns, so it has to go by itself. You will affix a special symbol to the box, and then ship it to us.
