What happens after I win an item?

After our auction has closed & you have been awarded an item(s), you will receive an invoice within 24 hours. Depending on the platform that you were bidding & how your account was set up, your card on file will also be charged within 24 hours of receipt of the invoice. If you need to make alternative payment arrangements, you MUST contact us immediately at info@SummitGunAuctions.com . Once your item has been paid in full AND we have received a copy of your FFL dealer's information (if applicable - please send your FFL over to FFL@SummitGunAuctions.com), we will work on shipping your item(s) out as soon as possible. Please note that we are a small team & we host auctions of 500+ lots, so shipping may take 2-3 weeks after the close of our auction! We do appreciate your patience!
Do I pay taxes on the lot?

In most cases no. However if the item is being picked up at our location or shipped to an Ohio address then taxes do apply. All other cases there is no sales tax.
Where do I send my FFL?

Please send your FFL information to FFL@SummitGunAuctions.com All other general questions can be sent to info@SummitGunAuctions.com
Can I purchase firearms at auction and have them shipped to my home?

If you bid on items that are antique, we can release the firearms to you or ship directly to you. If you are bidding on an item that is manufactured after 1898 and do not hold an FFL, we would have you fill out the standard ATF form 4473 if you live within Ohio. Handguns must be shipped to an FFL dealer for these states, and we can help you find one if you do not use one currently. If you live outside this area, or do not fill out the ATF form 4473, we will ship to an FFL licensed dealer of your choice and they will transfer the gun to you. Be sure to check your state requirements on firearm ownership before placing a bid. If you have any questions about the ATF form 4473 or regulations on transferring firearms please contact us.
I am located outside the USA, may I bid?

Yes, please identify with an export FFL prior to bidding or we can recommend one.
How do you ship your items?

Our current primary shipping provider is UPS. An additional charge applies for shipping. We try to keep shipping costs as low as possible. Shipping costs will be added to your invoice where applicable or you can make your own arrangements. Note local FFL receiving fees may also apply.
Do you accept returns?
