How it works

Guns.com has created a new service for the members of our community. If you have a used firearm you have been looking to sell, we will make you an offer. If you like the offer, we’ll send you a box and prepaid shipping label -- all you have to do is drop that box back in the mail back to Guns.com. Our gunsmith will inspect the firearm, and issue you a check for the agreed upon price if the firearm is in working order. Guns.com will respond to every submission within 1 business day, and we will complete our inspection of each gun within 24 hours of receiving it.

Meet Paul Bahe, the Firearms Appraiser at Guns.com. Paul has been buying, selling, and trading firearms since 1992. Having continuously traveled the country as a buyer for both Gander Mountain and Cabela’s, Paul has appraised just about every type of gun there is. Even with an extensive knowledge of all things guns, Paul continuously immerses himself in the history and origin of firearms and their progression in the marketplace. Reflective of this enthusiasm, he has held memberships with the Minnesota Weapons Collectors Association, The Dakota Territory Gun Collectors Association, The German Gun Collectors Association, Ducks Unlimited, Pheasants Forever and his local Minneapolis gun club. Paul’s personal passions with firearms lie in hunting upland birds, waterfowl, and whitetail deer. He enjoys spending time with his wife and two children in the fields and forest chasing game with their Labrador retrievers. In the off-season, Paul can be found shooting sporting clays, 5 stand, trap, and skeet.
