Transfer Fees going up

[R L Suehr]

ScotsGuards is a rarity. It's been added-on to the price at everywhere I've ever bought a gun. One guy charged me $20 on a $100 gun. That pissed me off.

I'd have told him to keep it for that shit.

Most places around here are 30-40 bucks for internet/private transfer. Only "fee" I've seen is one shop charges the actual $5 pics fee on top of everything. Seems kinda petty to me, but I've bought there if the price was right.

It's been years since I've been there, but Buck Hill Firearms in Cresco is still advertising $10 transfers. That used to be my go-to place when I worked out that way.

I'd give them an extra ten just because.

I live in Pottstown and I travel for work...anyone use an FFL that is $35 or less in the area? I'd probably travel since work pays for my fuel.

I know that most things have gone up in price, I just feel $50 is way too much to do little work by the FFL.

He just got robbed. Strange situation if you ask me. Perp broke a door or window and only took one bolt gun.

I used to think $35 was the going rate for FFL transfers and I thought those prices were high. Well, yesterday, I went to three gun shops in Lancaster CO, and it seems like the going price is $50. I was at Lanco Tactical, Trops and Kinsey's yesterday. Today, I was at Kings Shooter and the guy told me they charge $75 for internet transfer.

Most places that charge $50+ are trying to make up for you not buying from them or it*s their way of saying they don*t want you as a customer if you aren*t going to them for everything.

JMB Guns near Tuckerton/Reading is $25. He's a member here.

I haven't used Kerper's in Bowmansville for a couple years, but they were like $20 pre-scamdemic IIRC.

I saw that in the news and agree that it seems odd.

Swamp Pike Firearms and Transfers is a good option near Pottstown. $32 I believe, appointment only, it's not a storefront, you'll be out of there in 10 minutes.

King's is silly with their $75 for online. Though for buy a used gun FTF they are $35.

I suppose it's sticker shock on FFL prices for me, since I used to buy online a lot and have them shipped into the local dealership.

King's used to be a good place to go for prices, but when I was there yesterday, they had the Ruger LC carbine in 5.7 and it was $200+ more than online vendors. So that was why I was surprised that they wanted $75 for internet purchase.
