Trusted by 40,000+ sellers · 860+ Google reviews · Over $4.5M paid out to users
We have purchased 201 firearms from sellers across New Jersey through our streamlined, fully licensed online process.
New Jersey has tighter requirements than most states, especially around permits, eligibility, and how transfers are recorded. Instead of trying to coordinate a private buyer and a dealer-assisted transfer on your own, we provide a documented offer based on current market demand and guide you through the compliant path to sell directly to a licensed FFL. We handle the transfer intake, the paperwork trail, and the support end to end so you can close this out confidently without unnecessary risk or confusion.

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 New Jersey?
- 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 private firearm sales in New Jersey have to go through a dealer?
- In most cases, yes. New Jersey generally requires transfers between non-dealers to be conducted through a licensed retail dealer so a background check and proper recordkeeping occur. Selling directly to a licensed FFL like WeBuyGuns.com is a straightforward way to stay compliant while avoiding the extra friction of finding a buyer and coordinating a dealer transfer yourself.
- I inherited a firearm in New Jersey. Do I need a permit or Firearms ID before I can sell it?
- New Jersey law includes a specific allowance for firearms passing to heirs or legatees where a permit to purchase or Firearms Purchaser ID is not required for the inheritance itself. If you inherited firearms and want to sell them, we can help you move forward with a documented sale to an FFL and make sure the transfer is handled cleanly.
- What if my firearm includes restricted parts or configurations under New Jersey law?
- If anything about the firearm or included accessories appears restricted in New Jersey, do not guess. Submit clear photos and details with your offer request and we will tell you exactly what we can accept, what should be removed, and what the compliant path looks like so you do not accidentally create legal risk during the sale or shipment.
