FIREARMS PURCHASES: Anyone who is legally allowed to own an item is allowed to buy or sell it here. The following information is not intended to be a complete guide to all applicable laws. It is your responsibility to be in compliance with all Federal, state, and local laws when bidding in our auction.
What does ‘legally allowed’ mean? You must be an adult who is able to enter into a contract. Anyone desiring to purchase a firearm must be able to pass a background check. There are age limits on the sale of certain items. Certain types of items are illegal in certain places, for example 'assault weapons' cannot be sold in California, and certain types of ammunition are illegal in certain states and cities. The NRA has put together a guide of state-by-state gun laws. The ATF has compiled information on the various state laws. Again, it is your responsibility to make sure that you comply with the laws of your country, city, and state. We do not tolerate attempted illegal activity here.
You do not have to be a licensed dealer to buy a firearm. If you are not a licensed dealer (also called an FFL Holder), you must make arrangements with an FFL Holder in your state to receive the item and transfer it to you. (Note to C&R holders: if you are a C&R holder you already know the Byzantine C&R rules so we will not repeat them here). Virtually anyone who is involved in the sale or distribution of firearms is an FFL Holder, including gun shops. You must make arrangements with your FFL Holder BEFORE placing a bid on an item. By contacting the FFL Holder before bidding, the buyer can verify that all state and Federal laws will be observed.
Non-firearm items, such as air guns, knives, ammunition, antique guns that were built in 1898 or earlier, accessories, and some gun parts, do not require transfer by a licensed dealer. There are age restrictions on many of these items, and you will be asked to verify your age to the seller (typically by mailing a Xerox copy of your driver's license) before you can purchase the item. In general, you must be at least 18 years old to buy items on this site. You must be at least 21 years old to buy Pistol ammunition; at least 18 years old for Rifle ammunition.
If you have any questions or doubts about whether an item can be shipped to you, please contact your local FFL Holder or call us, 928-445-6787.
ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS: Any additional terms or conditions of the sale, added by the Auctioneer, shall be announced prior to the auction.
