Manosteel,
He is relatively new and have been real busy.  I am waiting for some lowers I ordered from AIM to ship him to then transfer to me.  It was easy and he offers reasonable prices for multi-pc transfers.  Your private data is secure with him.

Cool bud, I talked to him about buying an XDM-9 today and he told me it was under $600 out the door.  Pretty good deal if you ask me.

$20 per transfer right?  Hmm...thats not bad.  I may need to get in on that group buy over at 1919a4.com.

Does anyone know of an FFL in DuPage or Kane area that does a flat fee regardless of how many firerarms your purchasing?

If you use CC its usually an extra 3 to 5% extra in cost cash is best.  Thats what I like!

I have applied to be an FFL and I am waiting for the application process to be completed. I hope to have my FFL by January. I am in DuPage county and plan on doing $20 transfers.

Hey Folks,

Thanks for the kind words.

I occasionally get asked, "why don't you accept credit cards- I'll pay the 3%?"
or "You'd get a lot more sales if you offered credit cards."  - Probably true but...

The problem is the hidden fees, risk of fraud or charge backs, and the added
hours paperwork even when everything does work smoothly.  Below is a list of the basic
charges.

Activation fee of $99.00
$249 one time fee for 36 months.
2.25% per transaction
$2.52 fee per $100 of sales
Statement charge of $7 per month
Annual fee of $49.00
batch fee of $.30 per day when transactions take place
$10 monthly gateway fee
$.10 charge per transaction

In addition there are different rates for debit cards and "qualified" cards vs. "unqualified" cards.. yadda yadda yadda..
In the end it just isn't worth it.

Paypal maybe an option but so many people consider them anti-gun, I'm not sure if that would help or hurt?
It looks like they may have changed their website and now allow approved dealers to use Paypal.  I'll check it out along with their fee structure.

Stay tuned no links to your own business, sorry - Codycoyote,

Paypal still refuses to allow people to pay for firearms through their service.

The email reads:

"Thank you for contacting PayPal.

At this time PayPal has made the business decision, not to be involved
with the sale of firearms.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us again.

Sincerely,

I completed 3 transfers through Garret at Elgin transfer and I have to say it was a great experience.  I would love to see more people in Chicagoland turn to him, great guy and very responsive.  Let's you know as soon as he receives the firearms in.  

Thanks bud!

I used to use paypal, and someone left a message about payment for the rifle and they locked my funds (800 bucks) for 6 months, I was pissed.  I do not use them for anything.  Then I sold some crap on ebay and put in the message (NO PAYPAL ALLOWED) and they killed the auction.  bunch of jerks.

Well.... Who's going to be the successor?  Lisa Madigan?
