Ways to sell a gun in Indiana

Most sellers in Indiana 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

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

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 Indiana?
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.
Do I need a permit or license to sell a firearm in Indiana?
No. Indiana does not require permits or firearm registration for private ownership. However, sellers are still responsible for ensuring a lawful transfer. Selling to a licensed dealer like WeBuyGuns provides a documented transaction without needing to manage compliance details yourself.
Can I sell a firearm to someone outside of Indiana?
Interstate firearm transfers must go through a federally licensed firearms dealer. Direct private sales across state lines are prohibited under federal law. When you sell to WeBuyGuns, we handle all interstate compliance and transfer requirements for you.
