I am purchasing a rifle and 2 lowers from AIM in the near future. Is it reasonable to request a discount on the transfer fees? They will all be from one place at one time one order to one buyer. I am going to request a discount anyway but, thought I would ask as I am a cheap bastard by nature.

Its not that I cant find one they just all charge the same or are just too far to make it worthwhile. I appreciate your help, I do but 35 is what it is here in the "Bold New City Of The South" LOL I dont mind paying, but paying triple for the same work well, it sucks but thats what it is I guess. |

I charge $22 for one, but if there are say 3 long guns I usually do it for the same price. Normally the guys are freaked out enough that they throw in extra which is nice. Charging per serial number is a rip off! Cool. Might as well call and ask if her can do all 3 for 1 or 40$ for all. Worst he can do is hang up. |

Almost all the FFL's in town had a fucked up gentelmens agreement to charge $50 per xfer. A new pawn guy got on scene and started doing 25$ no matter how many guns you got at the same time. He doesn't hardly do any business except for money lending so his name around town hasn't caught on yet. However, the newest guy who has the only range in town doesn't charge me a dime. He said that any .mil personell that gets xfers through him, he won't charge. He's also lent me his property, bought a tree stand and a corn feeder for me to use. He's letting me hunt his land and all he asks is that I keep the feeder stocked.. Yeah, he's pretty much awsome and gets ALL of my business. |
| Here in IL, there are 3 big gun dealers in my town, and they charge $50, $75 and $100 per, respectively. They all go on and on about internet price this and kitchen table that, and really don't want to do transfers at all. The catch is that at least one, if you go in to trade/sell a gun, the first thing he does is look fo ra lowball internet price to offer to you...the hypocrite... and before anyone calls BS on the prices, the shops are Capitol City arms, Birds and Brooks, and Letz's hunt and sport, respectively, in Springfield. $20 transfer? yeah right... P08 can back me up... |

yeah why not might as well ask something simple and easy like 2 lowers Id give ya a discount and do it for 1 fee now want to transfer 20 surplus rifles from AIM yeah I'm not gonna hit ya full tilt on each gun but I not gonna screw with it for 1 transfer fee either actually had a guy do that asked of he could get a 2 or 3 rifles shipped in for 1 transfer fee I said sure he ended up getting 25 IIRC he was miffed I charged him for 2 transfers |

Charging per serial number is a rip off! Never bought more than one gun at a time, so I gotta ask: If a customer wants to have several transfers done at the same time, can all of them be handled with just one NICS phone call? |
