Excellent! I was skeptical at first with the nature of online sales, but the experience was smooth and I received a fair offer! Shall definitely use again if needed. 👍

This company is just a pawn shop. They offered $176 for a brand new hellcat pro. The gun was NEVER shot before. Total ripoff. If I took that offer I guarantee you guys would sell it for retail price.

I contacted CFG and sent the pictures. Instantly received a reply, which was courteous and detailed. Then contacted a competitor and received information but not as courteous. Also quite a price with CFG’s to the good. Have a great week. One of the guns was lost by the carrier. CFG rectified the lost fire arm issue. Great service!

Cash My Guns is an easy process and they cover the shipping costs. They communicated the status of my sale and payment. The price was fare and the process was easy. Great service!

1776994630

I've sold or consigned more than 10 guns through Cash My Guns and I'm more than impressed with their service. Now that I've experienced how quickly they work I would probably use the consignment side more often... I think the longest any consignment sale took was about 2 weeks. They are quick to pay, fair, and truly a stand up group of men and women. It's been completely hassle free.

This is my first experience privately selling a handgun. The process was fair and very easy. I sold a Colt 1911 and a S&W .38 revolver. The price I received for both was 50% higher than my local range offered. I'll definitely use this again!

Again, this was a great transaction and appraisal of my firearm…..Looking to continue business with Cash My Guns!

My recent experience with Cash My Guns was great. I really was unsure about trying to do an auction so I submitted the pictures and info for a Remington shotgun, later that same day I received an offer. I also submitted the same information to two other online buyers which were much lower. I then accepted the Cash My Guns offer. They immediately sent the shipping label, their FFL and shipping instructions. I chose to have the check mailed and five business days later, it was delivered. The process was very smooth and the communication was great. Thank you!!

“5/5 Stars – Highly Recommend Cash My Guns!Just sold them my Mossberg 20 gauge shotgun and SKS, and the whole process was flawless from start to finish. Super straightforward: quick communication, clear instructions, and they covered every penny of shipping costs—no hidden fees or surprises. They offered a more than fair price (better than I expected honestly), and the payment hit fast and easy.Everything was professional, respectful, and fast—took way less time and hassle than dealing with local shops or private buyers. If you’re looking to sell firearms without the headache, these guys are the real deal. 100% doing business with them again. Thanks for the great experience!”

First time selling firearms from out of state.CashMyGuns made the entire process effortless and fast, thank you to each staff member, they all did a great job answering my questions and getting a fair price for the firearms!! Will definitely be using them again.

Admittedly, I was skeptical at first, but my expectations were blown completely out of the water!! If you have firearms to sell look no further! They made the entire process super easy. They were extremely responsive (even during Christmas Eve!) and always Communicate communicated very clearly thoroughly and respectfully — which was really helpful for a beginner like me!! IMO, it’s not really fun to mail anything (especially heavy stuff!), but they made everything a lot easier by quickly shooting back pre-printed shipping labels with clear and concise shipping instructions with helpful, detailed information and all the shipping options were great - I was psyched they offered UPS pickup even though I ended up dropping it off so that I could get a receipt (and hopefully *paid* faster! lol) I was a little afraid of running into a long turnaround time on receiving the actual payment for the ammo I was selling,, but luckily they offered direct deposit as an option and believe it or not, they were even quicker on the payout than I’d expected! One bit of advice though is to make sure to be on top of checking your email when you use this service bc I actually even missed one I needed to reply to confirming that I was ready to receive my payment! (Uh, hello, only the most important one! Haha 😜) So yes ,all in all, 5 stars ++++ & above and beyond! I’d give them 6 if I could!

Outstanding experience! Friendly top notch professionals who took the time to get the right information on my guns to make a fair offer. Service far above and beyond what you would get from any gun shop or fly-by-night operation as well. The guys whose pics are on the website are the guys who you will be talking to when you call or email! Definitely recommend!!

Cash My Guns is a pleasure to do business with. This company is honest and treats you fairly. I highly recommend them if you are selling some of your firearms.

Hard to believe it was this easy! Hardest part of the whole transaction was bubble wrapping the package for transport and that was a breeze. Highly recommend if you need to sale your firearm and don’t feel like the hassle of haggling at gun shows or the fear of incorrect/incomplete paperwork. Will use again if the need arises.

I thought it was a joke because there are websites asking you to ship your guns to a PO Box! What am I a jerk? Then I found these guys who had a hard street address, business licenses in two States and sent me proof of FFL prior to shipping my gun. And, may I add, it was a fair price and they paid up as promised! Highly recommend.

I recently sold my rifle and ammunition to CMG and the entire experience was smooth and very professional. They answered all of my questions regarding the proper shipping and paid for the shipping. Their bid/offer for my firearm was fair and reflected the fair market value of the rifle. I was very pleased with the outcome of my entire transaction with this company.
