New FFL/Dealer in the Beacon Hill/Seattle Area

[woofyarms]

Hi Folks,

So I recently got my FFL finalized (class 7) and can now support the local community with reasonably priced private transfers and online orders in the Seattle/Beacon Hill area. I am currently charging $25 (inclusive of tax and CC fees) per firearm. Just note that the WA SAR fee is extra ($18), if I am supporting you with that, and there are requirements around collecting sales tax if its not a private transfer/you already paid.

I will transfer pistols and SAR's after 10 business days if your LEA does not return a background check result on time.

The catch - I also have a day job and travel a fair bit - you will need to check that our calendars align before shipping me something (not to mention my safes can get fairly full). I try and keep unavailable dates lists on the site.

I do try and stock a small inventory as well (<10 items), so if your looking for something quickly please check it out. I am trying to keep margins at ~5% .. I still enjoy doing this, and as long as I cover all costs (like all the licenses) ill be happy. I do accept credit cards, but do need to pass on the ~3.4% fee on larger items.

For calendar availability or to check what I have/can get - please DM me, email me (ffl@woofyarms.com) or check out the site (https://woofyarms.com).

Thanks!

Is your website correct? Are you charging a transfer fee for guns you are selling? Not guns ordered through another company then shipped to you, but the ones you have listed as your stock?

Yes - but that's also the only profit. The "cost basis" is the wholesale price paid. So I pass that through without markup, and then just charge $30 (and since thats a "transfer fee" its tax exempt - reducing the overall price). B&O tax of about 1/2 a percent actually makes transfers a better deal for me than selling guns. I need these firearms gone before the mag ban comes in; and I think ill pass on stocking items in the future.

FWIW - some of these are bellow MAP - but my "advertised price" is the full tax included rate in the left.

Did Seattle get rid of their $25/gun special tax?

I wish - no, I need to pay that on every gun sold to anyone in WA.. hence the "Seattle Tax" column. Only good news there is that since its a tax already, the 10.25% does not apply to it.

Hence yes - hard to complete; so just charging cost + $30 to get rid of these. Ill keep focusing in transfers and special orders.

That's still there as well as their stupid nickle per round for centerfire and whatever it is for rimfire.

Yep - they have just driven business outside of the city limits; and lost more in tax revenue than they gained by a LONG way. I am predominately hoping just to help folks order from gun broker and other out of state sellers. If I stock anything - it will just be to get any "minimum" buy requirements from wholesalers met, and then will sell at cost + standard transfer fee's ($30, same I will be charging for transfers).

Now to see if I want to get involved in the NFA business.
