if the BATF issued personal FFL licenses used just for transfers for personal use. I say this after dropping $90 in transfer fees for 2 STRIPPED receivers valued at $198 shipped.

Sounds like you need to use a different dealer to me.

Oh I will... the last time I went there he charged me 15% on a complete receiver.. $40.. .this time he pulled somecrap about the receivers being under $200 each so he charged $45 flat fee each. I will not be going back.

That's about the average price around town. $40 for pistols EACH.. and $40 or 15% for rifles. I went there because I was expecting 15% of $200, about $30-$50, but yeah I got screwed on that one. It took all of 15 minutes to fill out the form and make the phone call. That was the fastest $90 I ever spent. My $15 hair cuts last longer and require more work!
What is someone suppose tod do in that situation? Refuse to accept it? I had already paid for the receivers. I figured I got screwed this time and I'll just pay up and go somewhere else next time. |

"Out" the dealer. We always give advice on who the good ones are (ie. charge $20 per transfer) so I see no problem in publicizing the bad ones. When I use the good dealers I let them know that I recommend them on here or I heard about them on here. The guys that charge a reasonable amount on transfers and such will make it up in other purchases and referral business. As they should. The ripoff guys should suffer. |

I wondered why I have so many clients come from Jax for a transfer. Even with the hour and fifteen minute drive it looks like it still pays off.
What I can't get over is the "EACH" part! |

Me neither. Their's no aruing though... and the prices I qoued were the low side. I have a shop about a mile from my house and they want $65 a pistol and $65 a rifle. EACH! What I really hate are the assholes who charge $40-50 then give you the "Why didn;t you just buy it from us" attitude when your fllling out the forms. |

Really? Have you bought stuff from him in the past? I've gotten quite a few guns from him and got pretty good deals. But $90 does seem a bit steep. |

yeah I traferred a complete lower from him before, the price was $250 and he charged me $40 (15%) This time around he said that since the lowers were under $200 each, he was going to charge the flat $45 each. I didn't really aruge. I just paid up, and next time I'll go somewhere else. He tried to make it up by giving m deals on accessories but the price is still a bit much. I can't really single him out, ALL of the shops I either called or used in this city was right around that price. If you guys know anyone cheap in the N FL area, let me know!! |

Hot, damn! That sounded painful. It almost makes me feel better buying a stripped lower for $150.

I called everyone fromt he Auctionarms and Gunbroker listing, thats where I got most of the names. They all charge around $40 each.
Gun Gallery wanted $55 per pistol/rifle. I was there last week. Though they do have some really good prices on AR stuff. I'll buy from them, but I woulnd't try and transfer anything. |

That Snakeeye guy is down in Middleburg, it'd be worth the drive if he's still charging that and if that's true. |

Live Oak, FL about an hour and fifteen minute drive west of you. I charge $20 + $5 NICS/FDLE. That's $20 per TRANSFER, not "each". |

Big +1 for burney. I have had him do one transfer for me and order a pistol for me. And yes I drove from Tallahassee to Live Oak to see him. Course if you factor in the cost of Coffee in the morning before FDCC, I'm still ahead of the game.
