BUY
We may purchase a single firearm or an entire collection and workrooms, including accessories, tools and safes. You can bring the item(s) to our shop or make an appointment to meet with us. If you’re further from our store, feel free to send us a detailed email with pictures of the item you wish to sell. We start with the Blue Book of Gun Values to price firearms, then take in each firearm’s pros and cons and our market price experience to value a gun. If you’re looking to buy, browse our online inventory. If you’re looking for something specific, email us or give us a call.
LAYAWAY
If there is something you love but cannot afford it now, we’ll consider a layaway plan for that item. The plan would depend on the demand for the item, price, and ownership.
SELL
No longer need or are interested in any of your guns? Consider bringing them in to sell them to us. We are constantly looking for collections and unique or historic pieces. And we have a clientele looking to fill collections with those missing, hard-to-find pieces. Your granddad’s firearm may be worth more than you think. Our primary business is to sell collectible and historic firearms. But we do special orders and consult for purchases for the competitive, defensive and cowboy shooting sports. Let us assist you in finding that special something.
TRADE
We know some gun collectors prefer to trade up or trade something they are tired of for something new. We will consider all offers of trade for firearms we are marketing. Let us know what you have and what you are interested in and we’ll do our best to make it work.
TRANSFERS
If you are a Florida resident and buy firearms online or while travelling, consider having those firearms shipped to us for your pickup. As a Florida licensed Federal Firearms Dealer, we both ship and received firearms pursuant to federal firearms law at a reasonable price. We’ll package the item, ship it as required by law and confirm receipt. If you buy something, we’ll contact the seller and provide them the information they need to properly ship the firearm(s) to our store. If you ship something to us, we’ll hold the item for a reasonable time until you pick it up. Well complete the background check and complete the transfer. And if you wish, we will inspect it to see if it’s “right”.
IMPORTING GUNS
The Gun Collection, LLC holds a Federal Firearms license to import firearms. Do you travel the world? We can assist you in shipping the firearms to your home in Florida. We have imported fine firearms from various countries, both collections and family heirlooms.
CONSIGNMENTS
Consigning your firearm(s) is a great alternative to an outright sale because you’ll probably receive more money for your firearm(s). We start with the Blue Book of Gun Values, take the firearm(s) condition into consideration, then look at the market demand. We keep a percentage of the sale price plus any expenses to improve or repair the firearm when the firearm sells. It is to our mutual advantage to sell the firearm at the highest possible price. But if need fast funds, we’ll work with you. If you change your mind and remove the firearm(s) before the consignment term ends, you pay any expenses, our fee plus the call-in fee. If the consignment term ends and you wish to take the firearm back, you pay any expenses, our fee plus call-in fee. All Consignment Agreement details are negotiable. Generally, The Gun Collection, LLC will charge customary expenses plus a reasonable consignment fee. We sell through our retail store, online and at gun shows throughout the country.
BROKERAGE
If you do not elect to sell or consign to us, we can still work with you to buy, sell or trade your firearm while you hold possession of your firearm(s) or other related items. We have many clients who are looking for unique items and/or are looking to move such items. We can make the introduction, act as a go-between, or provide a safe, private place for you to complete the transaction.
APPRAISALS
Interested in finding out the value of your firearm, tool, accessory or accoutrement? We’ll be happy to provide you with an estimated market value. Not sure what it is? We’ll help you identify the make and model of the item, along with any unique features it may hold.
We have a circle of experts in a variety of genres and manufacturers that we can reach out to for more information.
