Photo submission guidelines
For an accurate assessment, please send us multiple photos of your firearm, showcasing various angles and any up-close details for collector-grade arms. Email your photos to Sales@bigmikesguns.com, including your Name, Phone Number, the firearm’s Brand, Model, and the SN for reference.
Our evaluation process
We compare your item to similar ones in the same condition sold on internet auction sites, focusing on actual selling prices rather than listed prices. We average the top three selling items that closely reflect your item’s condition, then adjust the value accordingly. Unlike pawn shops, which may pay only 20% to 30% of an item’s market value, we aim to offer a more generous percentage.
Selling and consignment options
We offer both direct purchase and consignment options. For consignments, we handle cleaning, testing, and necessary repairs before listing your firearm on our site at a competitive market price. Upon sale, we deduct gunsmith fees and our commission, forwarding you the remainder. Should you choose to have your firearm returned without selling, there is a 20% consignment fee for our time, gunsmith fees for safety checks, testing and repairs if required, and lastly shipping and handling back to your dealer.
