It's a free country where you can choose where you spend your money, and businesses can decide what they charge for their services. God bless America.

What do you charge for 45min of your time? $75 doesn't seem too much out of line when you look at it this way.

I have a harder time understanding why anyone would do it for $10-$15.

Transfers at a low or fair price get people in the store who may purchase something....transfers at a high price keep them out.

Since when does a transfer take 45 minutes? More like half that time.

if you don't like the price move on...to diss a business on a public forum like this for only that reason is very bad form...you have NO idea what they have to do to stay in business...

I would agree with 45 minutes. Think about the steps involved.

1. Receive item. Open box and inspect item for damage.
2. Record item in bound book.
3. Notify customer that the item is in hand.
4. When customer comes to pick up item, pull from inventory room or safe.
5. Inspect item with customer. (this step alone could be 45 minutes depending on item and customer)
6. Once customer indicates that he will accept item, instruct customer on 4473.
7. Once 4473 completed, call into NICS,if no chl.
8. Transaction completed, repackage firearm for customer.
9. Close the record in book, documenting disposition of firearm.

Very easily 45 minutes of a shops time. Not to mention ties up your salesperson...

How many of those hobbyist gun transferers do you think pay the IRS a percentage of that $10-$15?

I do FFL transfers in Weatherford for $15 with a CHL and $20 without, unless you're a know it all then I charge you $25, but you are right $75 is robbery.

And do you have a store front with inventory and employees, or are you doing transfers from your kitchen table?

The point I'm trying to make is everyone values their time differently. If you don't like it you have the freedom to spend your money elsewhere, but don't get on an internet forum and rant. Its also not your place to tell someone what they should charge.

I wished I made $100/hr! I'll get there.

I don't do outside transfers due to time constraints but if I did I would have to price it at $50+ to compensate myself for what I would have made doing other work.

The average gun shops break even point Is $40/hr. Some lower, others higher.

It is absolutely a consumers place to tell someone what they will pay for something.

I agree... Butt-hurt whiners are a lower form of life, that we would all be better off without.

Reporting a real problem is useful to all. - Whining is despicable.
