    Default Transfer Fees going up

    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.

    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.

    There are a lot of ffl locators on line. Try looking for someone who works out of their basement. They often have better prices for transfers. A lot of bigger stores prices have been going up.

    Here is a locator from PSA. https://palmettostatearmory.com/ffl-locator.html

    When you buy a gun from an FFL, do they charge you a transfer fee or is it typically built into the price paid for the gun?

    If you buy from ScotsGuards, the price is OTD.

    Mine don't charge for the transfer. It's built into the price. Definitely something to consider when shopping.

    Highly recommend Don Eastburn in West Chester. Been my FFL for many years. He charges $35. His office is in his basement. Uses the ePICS system, so no waiting for a call to go through.

    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 believe berks firearms is 30 for the first item and 15 for each additional and he only does online transfers. there is a discount for LEO and military. I believe the the background fee is included in the price for Reading Armament as well and internet transfers are 45 if i remember 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.
