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

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.

Are background checks required for private gun sales in Nevada?

Yes. Nevada requires background checks for most private firearm transfers. Private sellers must route the transaction through a licensed dealer or an authorized background check process to remain compliant. Selling directly to a federally licensed buyer like WeBuyGuns.com satisfies this requirement and removes the burden of coordinating checks yourself.

Can I sell a firearm to someone who lives outside of Nevada?

Direct interstate sales between private individuals are not allowed under federal law. If the buyer is not a Nevada resident, the transfer must go through a licensed dealer in the buyer’s home state. When you sell to WeBuyGuns.com, we handle all interstate transfer requirements for you.

I inherited firearms in Nevada. Do I need to register them before selling?

Nevada does not maintain a general firearm registry, and inherited firearms do not need to be registered before being sold. If the collection includes federally regulated items, additional steps may apply. For standard firearms, we can help you sell an entire inherited collection through a single, documented transaction.

★★★★★ Aug 11, 2025

Excellent overall experience! An offer to purchase was provided quickly and Chris answered all my questions about how the process works. The communication I received from this company was excellent throughout the process. I received the full payment amount they offered in my bank account the day after they received the box I sent them. No surprises! Everything went smoothly and I would do business with this company again and highly recommend them to anyone considering them. Thank you for making this process easy and stress free!

Ways to sell a gun in Nevada

Most sellers in Nevada 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.
