We have purchased 972 firearms from sellers across Florida through our streamlined, fully licensed online process.
Florida allows private firearm sales, but sellers are still responsible for ensuring the buyer is legally eligible and for maintaining proof that the firearm was transferred out of their possession.

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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
