[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 1751007, member: 423"] Wondered how that deal was still going... And gregorius, I wouldn't pay more than $25 for a transfer, and many of the board sponsors will do them for less than that IIRC. Free and/or cheap transfers are nice, but I never had a problem paying the $25. I looked at it like this, take a $300 gun. If you buy it for $300, you pay shipping, ~$25, then $25 transfer fee. If the dealer buys it themselves, and sells it for a profit, you're likely looking at paying 10-15% higher than private party prices, so figure $350, then add ~10% tax, so you're looking at $385 for that same gun. Saves you $35, local FFL makes $25, and doesn't have capital tied up in it. Higher priced items it saves you even more, but the dealer doesn't fare so well. [/QUOTE]
