Frequently asked questions
If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for, reach out to customer support or View all FAQs
- Is selling my firearm to WeBuyGuns.com legal in Alaska?
- 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.
- How long are offers good for?
- Offers are valid for 14 days.
- 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).
- How do I get paid?
- 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.
- How do your offers for Alaska-specific firearms—like bear protection or backcountry rifles—compare to local shops?
- Because we sell to a national audience, we can often offer better prices for Alaska-market favorites than local shops with limited shelf space. Whether you are selling a .45-70 lever action, a 10mm bear-protection handgun, or a precision hunting rifle, our offers are based on national demand. While a private sale might occasionally net a higher price, our service provides a guaranteed, competitive dealer offer without the legal risks or "parking lot" meetings of a private Alaska sale.
