Why the CashMyGuns Blog Exists

Selling a firearm is one of the most regulated consumer transactions in America. The rules change by state, by county, and sometimes by city. A private sale that's perfectly legal in Texas is a felony in New Jersey. A gun that's worth $2,000 to a collector might get you $400 at a pawn shop. An inherited firearms collection can be a financial asset or a legal liability depending on how you handle it.

We built this blog because informed sellers make better decisions. Every article is written by our team of licensed FFL professionals, sourced from official state legislature websites, ATF memoranda, and the real-world pricing data we collect from thousands of firearm transactions every year. We cover gun laws because compliance protects you. We publish price guides because knowing your gun's value means you won't leave money on the table. We write about life events because sometimes selling a gun is about more than money.

What You'll Find Here

Firearms Law & Compliance covers the legal framework that governs every firearms transaction in America. State-by-state gun laws, federal regulations, carry laws, prohibited persons lists, and how recent legislation (like California's AB 1127, Alabama's SB119, or Virginia's UBC ruling) affects you as a seller.

Firearm Values & Appraisals provides current market pricing for specific makes and models, from common Glocks and Rugers to collectible Winchesters and Colts. We explain what determines value, when a professional appraisal is worth it (and when it isn't), and how to photograph your gun for the best offer.

Sell a Gun by State gives you the complete legal picture for selling where you live, with guides covering all 50 states and regional overviews. Life Events & Firearms addresses the sensitive situations that bring many people to us for the first time: inheritance, estate liquidation, divorce, downsizing, or a death in the family.

Every guide on this blog ends the same way: if navigating the process yourself feels complicated, CashMyGuns.com handles it for you. We're a licensed FFL that buys from all 50 states with free shipping, same-day quotes, and competitive pricing. That's why we write these guides, and that's why we give them away for free.
