We Buy Firearms

For over two decades, our expertise in the used firearms business enables Premier Arms™ to properly evaluate your firearms.  This is a very important first step in selling your firearms that many dealers are unable or unwilling to do.  When you come into Premier Arms™ to sell your firearms, we put our many years of experience specializing in used firearms to work for you making sure you get the most money for them.  We deal in used firearms on a daily basis, buying and selling thousands per year; we know what to look for when identifying and evaluating used firearms and what firearms are worth. Most shops do not specialize in used firearms; we do.  Unlike most shops, when used firearms come in for sale, we don’t just pick up a book and look up a price, often a poor and inaccurate way of determining value.  Instead, we utilize our extensive expertise to determine exactly what you have, and since we specialize in vintage commercial and military firearms, we also have a large reference library on site to help identify odd variants or features, if needed.  With many specialized and out of print books at our disposal, we can determine the exact make, model, and special features letting us properly value your firearms.  If you have a large collection, we have the buying power to purchase it.  And when we do, we don’t just cherry pick the collection by buying only the really good items.  Instead, we purchase it all, leaving the client with more money in their pocket, not undesirable items they still need to try to sell.  This is one way Premier Arms™ is different than just about any other shop that says they will “buy” firearms, Premier Arms™ buys everything, all of your firearms, accessories, ammunition, everything.  We have built our entire business around buying firearms and we offer the experience, professionalism, and service you, the client, wants and deserves in selling your used firearms.  This is something that you will not find at other dealers.

 

We have a large clientele that purchases used firearms from us and because of this we are always looking to replenish our used firearms inventory.  We purchase just about any firearm, from a single rifle or pistol to a large collection, we purchase it all.  Do you have a large estate or collection to sell?  We will purchase that too; no collection is too large.  Do you want more piece of mind?  At Premier Arms™, we are always happy to offer references to past and current clients.  When a loved one passes and leaves behind a firearms collection, often spouses and other family members are overwhelmed with the task at hand, let Premier Arms™ help.  Our staff has years of experience purchasing collections, helping with not only in purchasing and securing the firearms, but quickly providing the seller with cash.  We realize, when we are looking at a collection to purchase, that quite often these are firearms that a collector spent years, if not a lifetime, seeking out, purchasing and enjoying.  We treat each collection we buy with the respect it deserves, often wanting to learn the history about the firearms so it can be passed on to the future collector.  As we say in this business, we never truly own firearms, but instead we are caretakers for a time until that privilege is passed on to another collector.  We specialize in finding that next collector and we are always prepared to purchase your firearms, in other words if we make you an offer, we will follow it up with full payment on the spot.

 

Whether you are downsizing, moving or settling an estate, when you sell a firearm collection often you have more in the collection than just firearms.  Most dealers don’t want to mess with accessories, but Premier Arms™ enjoys helping out our customers by purchasing your entire collection including related firearm accessories, such as:

  • Firearm Books & Magazines
  • Holsters, Slings & Firearms Cases
  • Knives (Commercial & Custom)
  • Reloading Equipment & Supplies

We Buy Militaria

Firearms are only part of what we buy and sell at Premier Arms™.  Dealing in all vintages of military firearms offers us the opportunity to also deal in related military items.  From Civil War, WWI and WWII to Vietnam and Korea, we purchase military items from any era.  Even modern items from Iraq and Afghanistan, if it is legal to own, we will purchase it.

 

Most of our soldiers that served overseas brought back a war trophy or two, as they were the original collectors.  Many soldiers also held on to their own personal issued equipment.  At Premier Arms™, we buy all of these types of items, such as:

  • Bayonets, Swords & Knives
  • Japanese Swords, Short Swords & Tantos
  • Flags, Banners & Pendants
  • Uniforms, Patches & Medals

  • Any other military item

At Premier Arms™ we appreciate the history of all military items.  Whether you have US military or German and Japanese items, we will purchase them.  But we will also purchase military items from other countries too, any vintage.  Trust your military items to a shop that has the expertise to know the difference between a WWI gas alarm and a party noise maker.  Just like when we purchase firearms, from one item to an entire collection, we will purchase all your military items at a fair and honest price.

Although we offer WWII relics from all Axis countries, including Germany, we have NO sympathies whatsoever to any fascist regime or ideology, it is just history. The first collectors of such war souvenirs were the victorious American GIs who brought them home in 1945.

We Buy Knives

Premier Arms™ will also purchase higher-end, quality custom and semi-custom commercial knives.  We also deal in and purchase any authentic military knives, swords, bayonets and daggers from any country and any era.  Trust your collection with Premier Arms™, with the expertise and resources to purchase your knife collection.
