FFL Transfer Charges

[Bubba613]

Under $1,000 I'm not sure. I don't deal with the low budget guns.

So you're saying that a maximum 15% markup on a retail item is something to complain about?

I doubt the LGS makes much $ off of the members here. Most of the members here, and especially the ones who moan about a $45 transfer know the cheapest price online for everything.

Your LGS pays its rent on the newb who buys the $1200.00 WASR and spam can of ammo special.

Neither do I, so why don't you state your objective or price point?

Most gun dealers have a 15-20% max markup - luxury cars have more - but then there's that nasty thing called overhead and carrying costs- the FFL has to cover those costs

Sheesh! Enough of this!

Once again it appears that both sides of the debate (and those in the middle, too) have had their say. Obviously the discussion frays some nerves and strains civility. Let's call it asked and answered.

I manufacture quality products and price accordingly. I don't focus on volume, I focus on quality.

My markup is a lot more than 20%.

Shop around, $85 doesn't seem reasonable. My nearest LGS charges $35, but there are others in this area (pawn shops) that advertise as low as $25. Surely, there is someone in your area that with compete with Gander Mtn.

My last transfer was $20, I think.

I'm with Sam, let's call this one Asked And Answered.

Closed.
