Sheesh... Gun transfer fees

[Rosco the Iroc]

Speaking of punishing customers for buying online, a local gun shop charges $25 for face to face transfers and $50 for anything bought online from another shop. He told me it's punishment for not buying local. I suspect he's only punishing himself though by missing out on a bunch of transfers.

That's the trade off of doing that.
I want to make the $ on the guns..but when you get a transfer...it's good also, no one is "just looking" with a transfer. In/out done.

HAH!!! Knew it. Thats what he hammered me for my spas12 a coup[le years ago.

Damn you too huh

You buy form me, it's inc. Or it's $20, got to keep the lights on. Extra fee for multi handgun. Bulk xfers- Flat fee dep on how many what type.

Know a few dealers that are mad how places like Buds undercut the fuck out of the rest of us and up the fee just for those places.

Just know this- local dealers support local things they don't.

But $50+ fuck that noise it's cheaper to drive up to me.

And I really do get it..... I will make a very good effort buying locally from now on.... again after tax, shipping, and credit cards fees if it applies... what’s the point

Well, maybe you should shop around. Do you get your morning coffee from Starbuck's too?

Lol... I treat myself to a $10 coffee once or twice a month. Dunkin Donuts is my go to because of the app. Because I am a cdl driver... ELD has me on the clock. So it’s nice to order my coffee from my phone and have it ready for me on my way towards the turnpike instead of waiting 10 mins

I know a guy that drives an hour to MD to get gas cheaper. He drives a Prius. Maybe he is saving a few bucks but is it worth his time?

I can buy and Anderson lower at Cabelas for $39 with a $5 transfer. I wait 1 hour if I'm lucky to complete the transaction. Is that worth my time?

It's preference. I prefer to keep it local so long as it benefits me. Paying $25 for a box of 30.06 when I can get it at WM for $12, that's worth my time as I do it in bulk. Anyway, you get the picture.

Go to Walmart or where ever ya find the cheapest prices on ammo.

Sheesh transfer fees sure has gone up over the years. $80 for a Online FFL to FFL transfer.

Might be a bit of a drive for you but check out Frontier Outfitters in Andora.There or Kings are my go to's for transfers.

I don't do much in the name of online but that's because most of the time the price difference is minimal so I buy local, on the off chance it isn't I would have to find a local ffl but I believe Smithgalls still only charges $20 or $25.00 for online transfers if they can get me in at about that price I buy from them. Lanco tactical used to be lower but they upped it for internet transfers too I believe it's about $38.00 but the benefit is I can do it all online anytime of day. I would like to find a local guy individual ffl though would be easier for me but again I'm not buying all the time ..... unless it's 80%'s lol.

Beat me to it. He's dirt cheap and he also gets that I'll keep coming back both to buy and transfer.

For anything too far away to take to Gators, anyone over $30 and I'd be looking elsewhere.
