A date is driving this, and the date won't move.
Restricted state
You might be moving to California, or some other state where half the safe can't follow.
PCS orders
You might have PCS orders and a report date that didn't ask about your collection.
Decree or closing
It might be a decree, a closing, or something at home that means the guns need to be out of the house for now.
The situations are different. The problem is the same one: a fixed date, guns that have to be gone by it, and no appetite for turning this into a project.
So here's what happens instead. You submit from home and ship free the same day you accept. It's legal in all 50 states. No listings, no meetups, no local shop, and no explaining any of it to anyone.
Deadline math that actually works.
Day 1
Submit everything you're selling in one pass, not one at a time. Sell the ones that can't come and keep the rest. Most offers arrive in under 2 hours.
Day 1, later
Accept, get prepaid insured labels by email, and ship the same day. Free pickup at your door or a drop-off on your schedule.
Days 2 to 5
In transit, tracked, and off your packing list.
Arrival day
We verify and pay the same day, by instant bank deposit, direct deposit, printable check, or mailed check.
Two weeks out and you finish with room to spare. A week out and it still works. Tighter than that, email us your date: real people answer 7 AM to midnight ET, every day, and we'll tell you straight whether we can meet your deadline.
Needing it done fast doesn't lower the price.
Your offer is priced by appraisers who have appraised more than 250,000 guns, against what guns like yours have actually been selling for. We don't collect your reason for selling, so it can't factor into your price.
The Best Price Guarantee applies the same way it always does. Send us any dealer's written offer and we verify it and beat it, deadline or no deadline. And the offer you accept is the amount you're paid when your guns arrive as described.
Your calendar is tight. Your price doesn't move because of it.
The legal side, handled for you by experts
Selling to a federally licensed dealer is legal in all 50 states. From the moment you ship, the sale runs under our federal license.
If one of your guns has state-specific requirements, we flag it when we make the offer and handle it from there.
You finish with a written record of what sold and what it paid. If a decree, an attorney, or another party needs documentation, you have it.
Your reasons stay yours.
The whole sale happens from your home: submit online, ship from your door, get paid to your account. No counters, no local classifieds, no explaining the move, the case, or the circumstances to anyone. We don't ask, because it isn't our business.
We ask about your guns. We don't ask why you're selling them.
Licensed, verifiable, and open every day of the year.
More than $40 million paid to gun owners. Federally licensed since 2019, verifiable with the ATF in 30 seconds, A+ BBB, 4.9 stars across 2,900+ Google reviews.
We buy guns, accessories, and ammo 365 days a year, weekends and holidays included, so your deadline lands on a working day no matter which day it is.
Questions about selling before a move
I'm moving to a state where some of my guns are restricted. What do I do?
Sell them before you go. Right now they're legal to own and legal to sell where you are, and that's the simplest this will ever be. Once you've crossed the line with them, your options narrow and some of them stop being legal at all.
Submit the guns that can't come, or the whole collection if you'd rather. If any of them have state-specific requirements on our end, we'll flag it when we send the offer.
How fast can this realistically finish?
The offer usually arrives within 2 hours, shipped the same day you accept, and paid the day your guns arrive. Transit usually runs 2 to 5 days depending on where you're shipping from, so most sales finish inside a week.
If your date is tighter than that, email us before you submit and we'll tell you whether we can make your deadline.
I'm military with PCS orders.
Submit as soon as your orders land. The deadline that matters is your household goods pickup, not your report date, and starting early means the sale is done before the packers arrive.
It works from any state and from base housing, and it works the same if you're headed overseas or somewhere your collection can't follow. Free pickup at your door, and payment lands in your account wherever you are.
These guns are part of a divorce. Can I sell them?
If the guns are yours to sell, yes, and we'll make that part simple. You get a written record of what sold and what it paid, which is usually what the other side and the attorneys want to see.
Whether a particular gun is yours to sell is a question for your decree or your attorney, not for us. We handle the sale once that's settled.
What if I run out of time before shipping?
Your offer holds for 14 days and we'll extend it if you ask. The shipping labels don't expire the moment you get them.
If the move is going to beat you to it, tell us before you go. Shipping from your new address works the same way, as long as the guns are legal to possess where you're headed. That last part is the one to check before you load the truck.
I've already moved and I still have the guns.
You're not the first. Contact us before you do anything else, especially before you hand them to anyone locally or try to ship them yourself.
Can I sell everything at once: guns, ammo, accessories?
Yes, and before a move it's usually the right call. Ammo is heavy, carriers have their own rules about it, and some states regulate it separately once you arrive. Optics, magazines, parts, and factory ammunition all get appraised alongside the guns.
One submission covers the whole batch and comes back as one written offer. Learn how we handle collections.
The date is coming either way. The guns don't have to still be here when it does.
Submit today, ship this week, and cross the whole thing off the list.
