Is selling my firearm to WeBuyGuns.com legal in Texas?

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.

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).

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 to use a gun store or dealer to sell my firearm in Texas?

Texas law allows private firearm sales between residents, but private sellers must ensure the buyer is not prohibited from possession. Selling to a federally licensed buyer like WeBuyGuns provides a documented transfer and removes the uncertainty of private vetting.

Are background checks required for private gun sales in Texas?

Texas does not require background checks for 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 to a licensed buyer for added protection and documentation.

Do you buy firearms from rural areas and smaller towns in Texas?

Yes. We purchase firearms statewide, including rural areas and smaller communities. If you can access a shipping carrier, we can work with you anywhere in Texas.

Can I sell multiple firearms or an inherited collection in Texas?

Absolutely. We regularly help Texas sellers with multiple firearms and inherited collections. You can start by sending photos or a simple list, and we will guide you through the process before anything is shipped.

Transaction as smooth as racking a Beretta 92FS. Great!

Highly Recommended – Smooth and Professional Experience
Fantastic team! Very responsive and easy to work with. I’ve sold two rifles through them, and the entire process was simple and hassle-free. They provided the shipping label and clear instructions to ensure everything was packed securely and safely. Once they received the rifles, my deposit was in the bank the very next day.
They’re legitimate, diligent, and offer competitive deals compared to other online platforms in the same business. I fully recommend them!

Chris and crew were extremely helpful, efficient, fair and timely! Great experience and I highly recommend them and their service/business! Thank you Chris.

★★★★★ Jul 9, 2025

Their offer was a little higher than the two local gun shops and a pawn shop in my area. Followed through on their original offer after they received my subcompact pistol and inspected it. Process was easy and smooth, with good communication. Overall great experience.

Absolutely great experience from beginning to end with these guys. The customer service was quick and attentive and they definitely have their processes down to a science. Such a stress free professional transaction. And for those of you who are wondering if this is a scam site - I thought it was too. But I can now definitely say that this place is not only absolutely legitimate, but they are soooo easy to work with. I highly recommend considering these guys for your business.

Ways to sell a gun in Texas

Most sellers in Texas 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
