Consigning Firearms


  • When consigning your firearms with Total Defense you’ll not only receive a higher percentage of your firearm’s sales price, but you’ll receive superior service and support compared to other options.

  • Our staff has over 100 years of combined firearms knowledge and experience. This experience allows us to correctly value and market your firearm or collection resulting in a faster, higher pay out to you.
  • You’ll receive a fair appraisal of your firearm’s value. Many places will attempt a quick sell with a firearm to move it quickly, thereby diminishing your returns. Undervaluing a firearm is just as damaging to your returns as overvaluing it. We won’t overpromise and under deliver to you by incorrectly valuing your firearms.
  • You will have peace of mind that your firearm has had its ownership properly and fully transferred to the new owner through the legal Federal Firearms License channels.


The Process and what to expect:

  • We meet with you to go over your firearm or collection to give you a rough appraisal of your item(s).

  • We’ll then discuss pricing, payment, and pre-set negotiation terms that you desire.
  • We then assume custody of your firearm or collection and immediately begin the process of marketing your firearms.  

  • Once they are at our 18,000+ Sq. Ft. facility they will be proudly displayed to the thousands of potential customers that come through our retail front every month. 
  • Your firearm(s) will have many professional photographs taken of them to be presented online through our various online channels to reach out to more buyers. 
  • Our consignment fee is 25% of the sale price.
