After calling around and politely declining on the $70-$100 FFL fees of NJ, I found my new shop to get stuff shipped. Lee and Sons Sport Shoppe in Stanhope. I called them, turns out it is one semi-retired man with one gunsafe and FFL license, will order anything for $40 commission and the aforementioned affordable transfer fees.

 

I understand that business' have to make money, and having a high FFL fee deterrs online shopping. However, the only affordable FFL fees I found before were Lincoln Park True Hardware ($35 IIRC) and Hackettstown Guns and Ammo (too far, but around $45 total).

So that $40 is added to the total price of the gun your buying? And that $22.50 is the transfer fee with or without NICS?

yeah, if he is ordering, why would thee be a trasnfer?

So, it's actually a $62.50 transfer fee, which sounds pretty much average.

Sounds like he means he will sell you a gun for cost +$40 (hence, $40 commision) + NICS

Yeah i think the OP meant if HE as in the OP is ordering online and shipping to the FFL its prob $22.50 + NCIS, if the FFL is dealing he just wants $40 over cost for the item, obviosly plus NCIS<

I'm a little unclear

If the FFL orders the firearm, wouldn't he have to then charge tax in addition to whatever transfer, nics etc?

Yes. But since he is a dealer, he gets the gun wholesale. So: Price of gun + $40 commision + Tax + NICS.

 

Most NJ dealer mark ups are more than $40. So, it sounds like a good deal.

Ain't that the truth.

Lincoln Park TV is $40 with NICS, so how is this a better deal? You buy online, pay LPTV $40, and go home with your new gun - sounds cheaper to me.

 

I didn't know Lee and Sons was still in business, I went in there about 20 years ago and wasn't very impressed, didn't think they were open for the last 15 or so years.

Lugnuts is right.

 

If I buy a firearm online, it will cost me (obvious price of firearm, P2P, shipping, etc) $22.50 FFL +standard $15 NICS+tax

 

If I call him and order an 870 it will cost me dealer price+$40+tax

 

Apparently Lee and Sons doesn't really exist anymore. It is simply an older guy with an FFL, a safe, and a house. He politely explained that when my firearm arrives it needs to GTFO quickly because he doesn't want a weapons cache building up at his house due to space and liability.

You just got served! Lol meant taken lol

That works if the dealer price is significantly lower than any online prices you can find. Thing is, some online places (like Bud's) sells many firearms for $15 or so over cost, and sales tax is not collected on the transaction, it could still be a better deal to buy online yourself and pay the transfer fee.

 

Does his $40 over cost charge include NICS?

I love www.budsgunshop.com been using them for years! No tax, free shipping, cash discount, what more can you ask for? No one in jersey can beat those prices! Glock 35 598.00, people in jersey want 660.00+ tax and nics after my 35.00 xfer I could buy an extra mag and still be under some jersey bozo prices!
