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. I've now used them twice and both times it went well.

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.

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.

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
Detailed comparison: We Buy Guns vs Gun 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
Detailed comparison: We Buy Guns vs Pawn Shops
Auction Companies
Auctions can work well for rare or collectible firearms, but the final price depends on bidding activity and timing.
- • Weeks to months to complete sale
- • Commissions reduce final payout
- • No guaranteed sale price
Detailed comparison: We Buy Guns vs Auctions
Consignment
Consignment allows a dealer to list and market the firearm on your behalf, but the timeline depends on when a buyer appears and local demand.
- • Firearm remains unsold until a buyer is found
- • Commissions reduce final payout
- • Timing and final price are uncertain
Detailed comparison: We Buy Guns vs Consignment
Private sale
Private sales can avoid dealer fees, but require firearms knowledge, managing listings, coordinating meetups and handling compliance yourself.
- • Must meet buyers in person
- • Highest legal compliance risk
- • Time spent listing and negotiating
Detailed comparison: We Buy Guns vs Private Sale

Go read how We Buy Guns takes care of the whole process of purchasing your firearm. Every thing they said, they came through with including a strong, fair price. They give you a quote, you choose to accept or decline. If you accept, they provide the shipping label. Once they inspect the firearm and if everything is the way you described it, you get paid what they offered either straight…
