The best way to sell your rifles online in South Africa

Many gun owners decide to sell their firearms when they no longer have any use for them, such as when they move to a different country, when they receive a firearm from a relative or friend who no longer wants it, or when they simply no longer need it.

We Buy Rifles is a reputable online dealer that makes it easy to sell your pre-loved rifles.

Here is a closer look at the process.

How to sell your rifle online

In order to legally sell a rifle, you must either go through the appropriate channels yourself or work through a dealer such as We Buy Rifles to act as your intermediary.

We Buy Rifles makes it easier to navigate the legalities of the rifle selling process. With just a few simple steps, you can sell your beloved firearm through this reputable dealer. Here’s how:

1. You begin by giving as much information as possible about your rifle, including photos, via the We Buy Rifles website.
2. If the team is  interested in your rifle, they will send you a formal offer.
3. If you’re satisfied with their offer and want to take them up on it, you can do so in writing
4. Put together the required paperwork, then take your rifle and your licence to the nearest gun store. Make sure to hand everything in, and connect We Buy Rifles with the appropriate contact at the gun store.
5. After the gun store dealer verifies all of the information, We Buy Rifles will purchase the rifle and deposit the purchase price into the bank account you specify.
6. Once finished, they will even cover the cost of having the rifle legally couriered to their gun vault.
7. Typically, the process of removing the firearm from your name will be completed within 48 hours of receipt, and you will be notified when it is complete. We Buy Rifles will then register the firearm as dealer stock.

The benefits of selling your rifle online

The legal process of selling your rifle online is in no way any different from when you sell your rifle to a local gun shop. However, you might find it easier to sell your rifle to an online dealer such as We Buy Rifles, as they do have a much larger offset client base than a local gun shop.

It is also very risky to use avenues like online classifieds  or gun discussion boards since you don’t always know who you are dealing with when selling privately. Selling your rifle through a reputable online dealer like We Buy Rifles will mean that you don’t have to deal with the hassles associated with selling them and that you can be assured that you receive money in the bank much faster.

All required documentation is handled by We Buy Rifles. Best of all, they will guide you carefully throughout the process.

Once the rifle is in their possession, the firearm will be removed from your name and loaded as dealer stock in less than 2 days. Since everything will be done properly and lawfully, you won’t have to worry about legal implications following the sale, unlike if you sold the guns privately.
