Does anyone have contact info for GunsAmerica?
Phone or internet..

I've had a problem with one of their FFL receiving dealers charging 5X the amount he states in his ad.

Thanks!

good question i just went to site to try find out but no luck if you find out let us know also please

I contacted the dealer where I bought the rifle. He said there was NO phone number that he knew of.
Advised me to try: support@gunsamerica.com.

I did. No reply as of yet.

Ill bet you dont get any help from GA. They could care less.

What's the name of the guy that owns/runs that site? It was a somewhat different name that escapes me right now. Sounded Greek or something I think.

Anyway, agreed on the above. They are FAMOUS for not caring, and even abusing or pissing off people.

Very bad business manners, but the site just keeps on going. I guess people are looking for deals, and figure that they never have to deal with the site admin, but on the few occassions that they do....

The amount he had posted or the amount he quoted you when you contacted him before you closed the deal?

I never believe a posted price on anything. I've had to many people say oh those prices are 2 years old. I haven't gotten around to updating my price list. While the local WalMart might honor an incorrect posted price most small places will not. I verify everything ahead of time. Less surprises that way.

I agree with the others I have found GA to not really give a $hit about giving support as long as they have plenty of listings and get their money for the sale.

Well, I DID get a short reply from GA. Said they would remove the guy from their FFL list.. And did!!


Thanks to ya'll who replied.....

Out of curiosity, what was the original quote, and what did it end up costing?

I just can't figure out how he was low enough in the first place to quintuple it and still be "reasonable", or if his final figure was completely outrageous.

There listing on GunBroker, Auction Arms, and GunsAmerica reads,"FFL Transfers $15."

After filing out the 4473, NICS check etc, they rang up $75.00.

I questioned this and their reply was, "The $15.00 price is only for used guns and guns we can't get."

And yes, I called before the rifle arrived to leave my home phone # and inquired about the transfer fee again. Same $15.

I raised enough stink on the internet that the dealer agreed to refund my money. Haven't gotten it as of yet.. but we'll see.

Of all the Big 3 internet auction sites, Auction Arms really stepped up to the plate. This dealer advertises with them and the other two.

Bob, the Exec.VP shot them an email. He was very professional and courteous to the dealer, but it was a no BS tone which included the statement that AA expected a refund sent to me and that the dealer was to contact AA when this was done.

Kudos to Bob at Auction Arms! I know which auction site will be my #1 choice in all future dealings!

Forgot to add, most FFL transfer dealers in my "little rural" area charge a flat fee that ranges from $10 to $35. The average is roughly 20 bucks.

This is what a Whois search turned up on GunsAmerica:

RegTek Whois Envoy
PMB: 14728

Looks like they are trying to hide their identity !!!

Maybe the ffl dude is a asian dude.

I bought a rifle off a asian ffl guy at a gun show once. It was kinda funny. The guy was a imagrant and legal US citizen now and got his FFL licence and became a gun dealer.

He told me that ATF was always comming to his house and harrasing him.

He said stuff like " Who da Herr(hell) do de ATF peopre tink da ar. Im US citizen and have Ricence to serr guns. Im regal and not breaking any raws"
