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

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 handgun to someone who is 18 in Arizona?

Yes. Arizona law allows private individuals to sell handguns to adults 18 and older. However, age requirements differ depending on whether a sale is private or handled through a licensed dealer, which can create confusion for sellers. Selling to a federally licensed buyer like WeBuyGuns ensures the transaction follows dealer-level requirements and removes uncertainty around age eligibility.

I inherited a firearm collection in Arizona—do I need to register them before selling?

No. Arizona does not maintain a firearm registry, and inherited firearms do not need to be registered before being sold. If the collection includes regulated items (such as suppressors or short-barreled rifles), additional federal steps may apply. For standard firearms, our process allows you to sell an entire estate through a single, documented transaction without guessing at values or navigating paperwork on your own.

What is a “prohibited possessor” in Arizona, and how do I vet a buyer?

Arizona law prohibits certain individuals—such as those with qualifying felony convictions or active protective orders—from possessing firearms. In a private sale, it is illegal to knowingly transfer a firearm to a prohibited person. Because private sellers cannot access the federal background check system, verifying a stranger’s eligibility is extremely difficult. Selling to a licensed buyer like WeBuyGuns eliminates this vetting risk and ensures the transfer is properly documented.

Reviews from Arizona Sellers

John Thompson

★★★★★ Jan 16, 2026

Um, I must admit, I was apprehensive about doing business with this establishment because I had never delt with them before, but I completed the form with the information on my firearms and submitted it. To my amazement, I received an offer (quickly) that I was very well pleased with. The next thing that "blew me away" was the shipping label, which was free, was NEXT DAY AIR. To "make a long story short," the transaction: the offer, shipping, approval, and payment was phenomenally smooth and in rapid fashion. Oh, after selecting my preferred method of payment, which was on a Tuesday, I saw on the following Thursday morning that the money had been deposited into my account. THEY MADE A BELIEVER OUT OF ME!! Thank you.

Chris and the team at "We Buy Guns" are fantastic to work with. Professional, speedy, efficient, and fair are just a few of the "positives" that describe them. If you are looking to sell or buy a firearm, it might be impossible to find a better source to complete the transaction. "Five Stars" in every way!

Ways to sell a gun in Arizona

Most sellers in Arizona 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

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

Auctions / consignment

Can work for collectible firearms, but sales timelines are unpredictable and final payouts depend on demand, fees and whether the item sells.

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

Private sale

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

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

WeBuyGuns.com

Licensed online buyer

Sell from home with a federally licensed buyer. All transactions are handled through a licensed firearms dealer, with shipping and transfer completed in compliance with applicable laws.

• No listings or stranger meetups
• Free shipping & clear instructions
• Licensed, compliant process
• Fast payment
