Get peace of mind, abide by the law, and receive fair value for the guns you need to sell
When mulling over the best way to divest themselves of firearms in their possessions, hunters, collectors, seniors and widows, and estate executors all face the same conundrum: how to do it legally, and receive a lucrative return on the firearms they wish to sell.
For anyone who needs to have firearms in their possession appraised, safely stored, transported, and sold legally, your smartest option is to hire a reputable firearms auction company. Why?
For starters, attempting to sell a firearm online to an anonymous buyer is fraught with risks, and it could backfire. How can you verify who the buyer is? And if they’re in Canada, do they have a valid Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL)? Furthermore, if the firearms you want to sell are classified as restricted or prohibited, the onus is on you to ensure the sale and transfer of these or any firearms are done legally, or you may face criminal charges.
You could opt to sell your firearms to a private dealer, but by doing so, you should expect to receive far less money for your guns than what they may be worth.
Professional, Transparent, Legal, and Fair
There are four excellent reasons why you should have your firearms appraised, transported, stored, and sold by a licensed auctioneer and appraisal firm:
- A firm like GTA Guns and Gear Auctions is licensed and experienced appraising, transporting, storing, and selling all types of firearms. We strive to get the most money for the items you wish to sell based on the history, condition, and market value of every firearm
