Firearms retailers, especially small to medium FFL dealers, often seek innovative ways to boost sales and clear out inventory while staying compliant with regulations. One powerful solution is Accurate Gun Auctions (AGA), an online firearm auction service that makes selling guns fast, easy, and profitable. In this article, we’ll explore what AGA offers and why FFL dealers should be using this platform. We’ll also highlight how AGA’s exclusive integration with coreSTORE makes the entire process a no-brainer for generating revenue with minimal effort.

What Is Accurate Gun Auctions?

Accurate Gun Auctions is a specialized online auction house for firearms. Established in 2011, AGA is run by licensed, award-winning auctioneers with years of experience. The company provides a hassle-free, secure, and legal service that connects gun sellers to a global audience, ensuring firearms sell for fair market value.

In practical terms, AGA handles the auctioning of firearms on behalf of sellers (whether they are individuals, estates, law enforcement agencies, or FFL retailers), managing everything from listings and marketing to buyer compliance checks and shipping. The platform maintains its own Federal Firearms License and adheres strictly to federal and state laws for gun sales and transfers, giving both sellers and buyers peace of mind that every transaction is fully compliant and above board.

How does it work? The process is straightforward: you contact AGA about the firearm(s) you want to sell, ship the firearm to AGA (they even help arrange and cover shipping), and then AGA auctions it to the highest bidder. After the auction, they handle delivering the item to the buyer’s FFL and send you the payment. The entire auction cycle from start to finish typically takes only 2 to 4 weeks, meaning you can turn guns into cash in about a month or less.

Crucially for busy firearms retailers, AGA does all the heavy lifting in this process, as they put it, “all you do is send us your gun, we handle everything else.” This makes it an attractive solution for dealers who want to monetize inventory without investing a lot of time.

Key Benefits of Accurate Gun Auctions for FFL Dealers

Whether you run a local gun shop, a range, or a home-based FFL, partnering with Accurate Gun Auctions can provide tangible benefits. Here are some of the top reasons firearms retailers should use AGA:

1. Fast Turnaround

The auction process is relatively quick, often completed within 2–4 weeks from listing to final sale. This rapid cycle helps improve cash flow by converting stagnant inventory into revenue in a timely manner. Consignors typically receive payment within two weeks after the auction concludes, among the fastest payout times in the industry.

2. Easy, Hassle-Free Process

Accurate Gun Auctions handles everything for the seller. From creating professional listings with photos and detailed descriptions to handling all buyer inquiries, paperwork, and payments, AGA’s motto is essentially “send us your gun, we’ll do the rest!” As a dealer, you don’t need to spend hours managing online listings or negotiating with buyers. This white-glove service means minimal time and effort on your part.

3. Wide Audience & Top Dollar

By tapping into AGA’s platform, your firearm is exposed to a global pool of buyers (far beyond your local market). More competition means higher bids, in fact, AGA notes that on average, guns sell for more through their service because they reach true market value with nationwide demand. They even list across six auction sites simultaneously to maximize exposure. For a retailer, this can translate to higher sale prices than you’d get via in-store clearance or selling to a wholesaler. (For example, law enforcement agencies using AGA have been able to realize around 85% of their firearms’ value at auction instead of taking steep discounts from bulk sales.) In short, AGA helps you get top dollar for your guns.

4. Complete Compliance & Legal Safety

As an FFL dealer, compliance is nonnegotiable. Accurate Gun Auctions maintains its own FFL and strictly follows all ATF regulations and state laws for firearm transfers. Every transaction goes through the proper background checks and uses licensed dealer transfers for delivery to buyers. This ensures your sales via AGA are fully legal and documented, just as if you sold the gun in-store.

You reduce the risk of any regulatory issues, since AGA handles the paperwork (including ATF Form 4473 when applicable) and coordinates with the buyer’s FFL for transfer. In addition, AGA’s process is secure, they only ship to verified FFLs and even help buyers find a local FFL if needed. You can be confident that your firearm isn’t changing hands improperly; AGA’s compliance focus protects your business’s license and reputation.

5. Discreet Sales (No Direct Consumer Dealing)

When AGA auctions a gun, they list it under their company name, not yours, providing total discretion and privacy. For retailers, this can be useful if you don’t want it widely known that you’re liquidating certain stock or selling consignment items. It prevents confusion with your storefront pricing and keeps the sale anonymous to the public, while still getting the item sold. Essentially, you outsource the sale to AGA’s brand.

6. Affordable Service

Accurate Gun Auctions makes money through a flat-rate consignment fee (and buyer’s premiums), but importantly that fee covers all the costs of selling, including marketing/advertising the item, professional photography, secure storage, insurance, handling all paperwork, and even credit card processing fees for the buyer. There are no hidden fees.

As a small or medium retailer, you’d be hard-pressed to replicate this level of marketing and nationwide reach on your own without significant expense. With AGA, for one reasonable fee, you get a turnkey service. Since the buyer typically pays a premium, the net cost to you as the seller is minimal, given the higher prices achieved. In many cases, the higher auction sale price more than offsets any consignment fee, leaving you with more money than a direct sale would have fetched.

7. Professional Listings & Appraisals

One often overlooked benefit is the expertise AGA brings in presenting your firearm. They partner with specialists like The Armed Librarian to provide detailed histories and appraisals for unique or antique guns. Every firearm is carefully described and showcased to attract bidders. Good descriptions, high-quality photos, and accurate appraisals help instill buyer confidence, which can drive bids higher.

If you’re a busy dealer, you may not have time to write a paragraph about each used gun on your shelf, AGA does it for you with professional polish. This “white-glove” treatment of listings ensures that collectibles and rare pieces fetch the best possible price.

8. Clearing Out Unwanted Inventory

For FFL dealers, AGA offers an easy avenue to dispose of aged inventory, trade-ins, or even broken firearms that aren’t selling instore. AGA accepts guns in any condition, used or non-working, so you can even monetize broken guns for parts or collector value.

Instead of letting slow-moving stock tie up capital or selling it off at deep discounts, you can send these items to auction. As mentioned, auctions often yield a much better return than fire-sale prices. This effectively turns your dusty backroom stash into a new revenue stream. Even one successful auction lot can bring in cash to reinvest in fresh inventory for your shop.

In summary,

Accurate Gun Auctions provides small and medium firearms retailers a convenient, low-risk way to sell firearms for maximum value, without the usual headaches. It’s essentially “consignment done right.” You maintain focus on your store while the auction house turns your consigned or excess firearms into cash.

It’s no wonder their platform has already helped “thousands of Americans in selling their guns in a secure, compliant, and complication-free way,” using a process that showcases each firearm to an extensive audience and ensures it sells for its true market value.

As one of AGA’s FAQs notes, sellers benefit from a large audience of buyers (often leading to higher sale prices) and from the auction house handling marketing and compliance, simplifying the selling process. All of these advantages apply directly to FFL dealers looking to optimize their business.

Seamless Integration via coreSTORE: A No-Brainer for New Revenue

Perhaps one of the most compelling reasons for FFL retailers to try Accurate Gun Auctions now is the exclusive integration available through coreSTORE, the retail point-of-sale software from Coreware.
