2. A Buyer's Premium of 18% applies to all bids. Buyer's Premium is added to the hammer price of each lot. According to Louisiana law, the Buyer's Premium is considered a component of the purchase price and is therefore subject to state and local sales tax.

2.1 The representative photo on some lots may have different packaging and may be a different color than shown on the photo online.

3. Before any firearm is transferred into your possession, you will have to fill out a 4473 and pass a background check. If you CANNOT pass a background check do not bid on any firearms. If you are a convicted felon, even if you have had your right to vote restored, you may not be able to own or possess firearms. Please do not bid on these weapons unless you have been issued a possessory number by the BATF. If you have ever been convicted of a crime involving domestic violence, whether it was a misdemeanor or felony, you may not possess firearms under Federal Law. If you are currently under a restraining order or charges of any kind related to a domestic situation, you may not possess firearms under Federal Law. You will not be given possession of firearms purchased until your payment has been processed and you fill out the appropriate paperwork and pass the background check.

3.1 Gun laws vary within different States, Counties, Townships and Municipalities. It is the responsibility of the bidder to verify that possession and ownership of items they bid on is legal where the bidder resides, and where the item will be shipped. The auctioneer, seller nor transfer agent accept responsibility for determining the legality of possession based on the bidder's location.

4. The background check is on the bidder only. If you are the successful high bidder and are denied on the background check, we reserve the right to place the firearm in the next available auction event and will resell it. You will be charged a 20% restocking fee on the credit card on file. If you purchase a weapon and are denied, you cannot bring someone else in to get a background check done.

5. Accurate descriptions are provided for each individually described item in the auction on a best effort basis. The bidder is ultimately responsible for determining the condition of a lot.

6. All Federal & State Firearms Laws Apply. All buyers of firearms subject to State and Federal law must complete the applicable transfer paperwork. Dealers must have signed copies of their Federal Firearms License in order to accept same day delivery of modern weapons. Prior to bidding, all out of state buyers should verify their state laws as they pertain to modern firearms as laws vary greatly by state. Out-of-state buyers purchasing modern firearms must go through a Licensed Firearms Dealer within their state for transfer of modern firearm purchases. The licensed Firearms Dealer within your state who you choose to transfer your purchased firearm may charge you a fee for this service.

7. Federal Firearms Licensee's may take possession of firearms purchased by them on the pickup date of the auction provided they have a current, valid FFL. Non-FFLs must pass a background check at the time they pick up their firearms on a day designated by the Auctioneer.

8. All firearms designated as NFA / Class 3 must be registered in compliance with the NFA registry. A $200 federal tax payment is required each time a functional NFA firearm is transferred to or from a private owner. This fee, as well as the total invoice amount, is due at the time of purchase and must be paid prior to processing the necessary transfer paperwork. The buyer of the Class 3 firearm will be required to complete 3 forms: 1) ATF Form 4, 2) fingerprint card, 3) ATF form 5330.20 Certificate of Compliance, and any State or Local requirement. These forms will be provided to you by the local FFL auction approved establishment. Note: if state or local law requires a permit or license to purchase, possess, or receive NFA firearms, a copy of the transferee's (buyer) permit or license must accompany the application. The local FFL business then mails the paperwork for the Federal Transfer Tax to BATFE. The BATFE can take up to 120 days or more for approval. The local FFL business will receive back one of the Form 4's (they are sent in duplicate) with a Federal Tax Stamp attached to it. This is given to the new owner when picking up the NFA firearm. No further tax is due. The following states are known to not allow individuals to own machine guns: California, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Washington D.C. and Washington. Although we have provided this list, laws consistently change, thus do not bid unless you are certain the laws in your state allow ownership of Class 3 NFA Firearms. You will still be required to pay for the lot.

THE REGISTERED BIDDER IS PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE, LEGALLY AND FINANCIALLY, FOR ALL AUCTION ITEMS BID UPON WHETHER REPRESENTING ONESELF OR ACTING AS AN AGENT.
