Is selling my firearm to WeBuyGuns.com legal in Florida?

Yes. We are a federally licensed firearms dealer located in the state of Indiana. You, the seller, are covered under our license just as you would be if you walked into our store. There are no laws preventing you from selling your firearm to us.

Can I sell a firearm I do not have the original box or paperwork?

Yes. In most cases we only need clear photos and accurate details so we can make a documented offer. If anything else is needed, we will tell you during the review.

Does WeBuyGuns.com purchase multiple firearms, collections or estates?

Absolutely! Once firearm information has been submitted, you will have the ability to submit additional firearms for review and offers. These firearms will be viewable from your user panel, which you access from your initial offer email. If you have a large number of firearms or an estate, it is best to contact us directly (to save you time).

We will either send you a check, or we will issue the funds via a secure ACH direct deposit. During the offer approval process, you will tell us which method of payment you prefer.

What if I inherited firearms and don’t know much about them?

Inherited firearms are common. You can start by sending photos or a simple list of items and we’ll help identify what you have, explain what affects value and guide you through the next steps before anything is shipped.

Can I legally sell a firearm privately in Florida?

Yes. Florida allows private firearm sales between residents, but the seller is responsible for ensuring the buyer is legally eligible to possess a firearm. Selling to a federally licensed buyer like We Buy Guns removes the need to personally vet a buyer and provides documented proof of transfer.

Are there background checks for private gun sales in Florida?

Florida does not require background checks for purely private, in-state firearm sales. However, it is illegal to knowingly sell to a prohibited person. Because private sellers cannot access the federal background check system, many choose to sell through a licensed buyer to eliminate this risk.

Do age requirements matter when selling a firearm in Florida?

Yes. Age rules can vary based on firearm type and how the transfer is completed. While private sales may differ from dealer transactions, selling through a licensed buyer ensures the transfer meets all applicable age and eligibility requirements.

The team has been very responsive throughout the whole process and delivered on what was expected! At first, I was scared that it may have been a scam, but it all went smoothly, and I received my dues within less than a week!

Ways to sell a gun in Florida

Most sellers in Florida compare local shops, pawn shops, auctions and private sales. The tradeoffs usually come down to price, time and legal responsibility. Below is a quick breakdown, plus a side-by-side comparison.

Local gun shops

Convenient if you want to drop it off in person, but offers can vary widely and many shops price for resale margin.

• Fast in-person option
• Offers depend on current inventory
• You may need to visit many shops

Detailed comparison: We Buy Guns vs Gun Shops

Pawn shops

Usually the quickest route, but commonly the lowest payout since the goal is short-term resale or loans, not market matching.

• Very fast
• Lowest typical offers
• Limited firearm expertise

Detailed comparison: We Buy Guns vs Pawn Shops

Auction Companies

Auctions can work well for rare or collectible firearms, but the final price depends on bidding activity and timing.

• Weeks to months to complete sale
• Commissions reduce final payout
• No guaranteed sale price

Detailed comparison: We Buy Guns vs Auctions

Consignment

Consignment allows a dealer to list and market the firearm on your behalf, but the timeline depends on when a buyer appears and local demand.

• Firearm remains unsold until a buyer is found
• Commissions reduce final payout
• Timing and final price are uncertain

Detailed comparison: We Buy Guns vs Consignment

Private sale

Private sales can avoid dealer fees, but require firearms knowledge, managing listings, coordinating meetups and handling compliance yourself.

• Must meet buyers in person
• Highest legal compliance risk
• Time spent listing and negotiating

Detailed comparison: We Buy Guns vs Private Sale

What our most recent customers have to say

Grant Cairns

★★★★★ Mar 15, 2026

I’ve sold two pistols so far to these guys, after getting quotes from other gun buyers and they gave me the best price and I was paid quickly the day they received it both times, all you need to do is print out a few documents to put in the box, tape the pre-paid label they send you and drop off at the carrier you choose. Highly recommend We Buy…

Michael McDermitt

★★★★★ Mar 14, 2026

Excellent, smooth experience selling to WBG! Clear, timely communication throughout. Fair, "no hassle" offer and prompt payment after they accepted the pistol. This is my 2nd transaction with them, and they are my "go to" for the future.

If there is a better way of selling a gun it hasn't been offered yet. Professional, fair, responsive and friendly are traits that everyone I talked to there has.
