How It Works in Houston
Who Buys Guns for Cash in Houston?
Gun shops and pawn shops that buy guns are easy to find from Pasadena to the Energy Corridor, but each one prices in room to resell. Classifieds look like they pay more, but in a metro of more than seven million people you're a seller with no track record and no way to take a card, so buyers haggle, no-show or back out. Count that in, and a private sale often nets about the same as our offer, or less. We're a third option: a licensed dealer that buys by mail. Send us the details, get a number back, and ship on our prepaid label if you take it.
You Get a Real Offer, Not a Lowball
Every offer is built on what your specific gun sells for right now: make, model, condition and demand.
Most Houston offers arrive in under 2 hours.
Federally Licensed Dealer
Texas doesn't require a background check on a private sale, so in a classifieds deal you're the one judging whether the buyer can legally own a gun. We're a federally licensed dealer with SOT status, and we handle the transfer on our end. Our team has over 100 years of combined firearms experience.
Skip the Loop
No crossing town on the 610 Loop, Beltway 8 or the Grand Parkway just to get a quote. Fill out the details online, take the offer if it works for you, and we set up the shipping.

Find Your Situation
However You Got Here, We Can Help
Just Selling One Gun?
One pistol in a Kingwood nightstand doesn't need a haggle at the counter or a meetup at a gas station off I-10. Real offer, free shipping, paid the same day your gun arrives.
Got Ammo, Optics, or a Whole Package?
We take the whole lot: firearms, ammo, optics, magazines, accessories, even the original boxes. Send it all, get one offer, done.
Cash Now or Consignment?
If you want speed and certainty, take our cash offer: one number, a prepaid label, and you're paid the same day your gun arrives. If you'd rather hold out for the highest price and can wait for the right buyer, we offer consignment too. Either way, you're dealing with one licensed dealer.
Sitting On a Collection?
Selling a collection one gun at a time across Harris County is a project. We can make one offer on the whole thing. Ten guns or two hundred, we have the money and the buyer network to make a serious offer. See how we buy entire gun collections.
Stationed at Ellington?
Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base sits on Houston's southeast side, near Clear Lake. If you have orders and need to sell before a move, we'll make you a real offer, and you're paid the same day your gun arrives.
Inherited Guns or Settling an Estate?
You don't need to be a gun person. Spouses, adult children, executors and attorneys sell to us all the time. We appraise everything and handle the transfer on our end. Learn more about selling an inherited collection or estate.
Texas Rules
Can You Sell a Gun Legally in Houston?
Yes. Texas sets the rules, and neither the City of Houston nor Harris County can add its own, because state law bars cities and counties from regulating the transfer of firearms. A private sale between two Texas residents takes no background check and no permit, and Texas has no waiting period and no gun registration.
Texas law does make some sales a crime: any gun to someone under 18 without a parent's or legal custodian's written permission, a gun or ammunition to someone who's intoxicated, a gun to someone you know was convicted of a felony within five years of release, and a handgun to someone you know intends to use it unlawfully or who you know is under an active protective order.
Federal law adds its own limits. You can't sell to anyone you know or have reason to believe can't legally own a gun, you can't transfer a handgun to anyone under 18 except in narrow cases, and any sale to someone who lives in another state has to run through a licensed dealer.
Sell to us and none of that screening falls on you: a federally licensed dealer is the buyer, and we document the sale on our end. The Sell My Gun in Texas page covers the rest of the state.

Shipping
Shipping Your Gun From Houston
Inside the Loop or out in Cypress, Spring or League City, the box goes out the same way. We send a prepaid, insured FedEx label, help with packing if you need it, and you can schedule a FedEx pickup at your door, or we'll point you to a drop-off location. Your gun goes to our licensed Jacksonville, Florida, headquarters, and an adult signs for it on arrival. Plan on about 2 to 3 business days in transit. You're paid the same day your gun arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Houston sellers ask before they ship us a firearm.
Gun shops and pawn shops across the metro will, and so will private buyers you find through classifieds. We buy by mail from anywhere in the Houston area: describe the gun, get a real offer, and if you take it, you're paid the same day your gun arrives at our licensed headquarters.
To any licensed dealer, including us, without leaving your living room. You can also sell privately to another Texas resident who can legally own a gun. With us, the sale is documented on our end and there's no buyer to meet.
No. Texas has no private-sale background check, so if you sell to another Texan, judging whether they can legally own a gun is up to you. Dealers are different: they run federal background checks when they sell.
Sure. A Houston gun store or pawn shop can hand you cash at the counter, but its number has to cover the markup it needs to resell. Getting our offer first costs nothing, and you're free to say no.
Expect roughly 2 to 3 business days door to door. Schedule a FedEx pickup at your door, or we'll point you to a drop-off location. Either way the insured label is on us, and you're paid the same day your gun arrives.
Yes. Whether the guns are in a closet in Katy or a safe in Kingwood, we appraise everything, handle the transfer on our end and make one offer for the whole lot. The selling a gun collection or estate page explains the process.
