Reviews from South Carolina Sellers

Jeffrey Pesnel

★★★★★ Feb 2, 2026

Everything went quickly and easily. I think the cash offer I got was very fair and would certainly recommend the site to anyone looking to sell a gun.

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.

I had no idea that this transaction would be so painless. Great work.

Downsizing my collection in retirement for my new hobby. Did my research and everything pointed to We Buy Guns as being one of the best opportunities to downsize. A simple and easy process from start to finish and in less than a week from submitting firearms for consideration to accepting offer I was paid $4,100 as was offered by the We Buy Guns team. Expectations exceeded and as I look to reduce my collection I will be back again.

Easy, streamlined transaction. The dashboard was great and I knew where we were at every step of the process. No hassles, no haggling. I got a fair price and quick payment. I would highly recommend them. A+

Gigi Hines

★★★★★ Aug 29, 2025

I would highly recommend We Buy Guns. The process was seamless. I filled out a form, sent pictures and they made an offer. I accepted the offer and they sent a mailing label and instructions. I mailed the gun and within days I had received payment. Could not have been easier or gone smoother. Price received was very fair.

Ways to sell a gun in South Carolina

Most sellers in South Carolina 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
