Any Honest FFL Holders in Colorado Springs?

[mrghost]

I don't understand why an FFL holder would be expected to go to the trouble of shipping off anything for free, no matter what laws are in the pipeline. I guess I've never not paid to send a firearm.

Curious, colo-pr...how many guns have you purchased from this FFL?

[Blockhead]

Why don't you send the gun yourself? You don't need an FFL to ship, just to receive.

[colo-pr]

Yes, the FFL transfer fee works both ways...

Yes, the FFL Transfer Fee works in both ways, i know that for years BUT the Fee of $10 Imposed from the Bill/Law NOT!!! and take advantage of this is NOT honest!!!

I have no issue with someone asking for information about dealer's and what they charge for various services. I have no issue with guys voting with their wallets and finding a dealer that charges less or provides better service or both.

I DO have an issue with calling a dealer (or any business owner) dishonest because the guy raised his prices. He may have had an entirely HONEST reason to do so. Expenses have gone up. Maybe he's decided his time is worth more. Maybe his wife is sick and medical bills are an issue. To label the guy as dishonest on a public forum (I know...the OP didn't identify the dealer) simply because you don't like his prices is, in my opinion, in extremely poor taste.

I'm willing to bet the OP has never turned down a raise. Or, if he's a business owner I'm guessing he wouldn't hesitate to raise prices if he had to stay in business.

Do it in times with the Goverment Imposed Fees YES, is not Honest.

I dont say the name of the place to be Ethic BUT at the same time is not honest, for this reason i decide to change, is my money and i decide when i want to change!

The more you explain the more confused I get.

+1- I raised my fee because doing transfers are a pain in the ass IMO. Some people I just don't want to deal with, so it thins out the crowd. And as Bailey said above, I raised my price because my time is worth $$$ and now it is worth $$$$.....

A littlebit of Ethic is not do it at the same time of the other Fee, of course, ALL FFL Holders be defends themselves (is obvious) but if people can live with $15 and also i saw another Holders that devide the Goverment Fee between the Holder and the Client, but NO, now $30+ for fill some papers is not enought yeah right

This isn't a matter of dishonesty, it's a matter of you being frustrated with him increasing the cost of his services. Do you get pissed off at McDonald's when they raise the price of a sandwich?

[Bailey Guns]

There's a lot more to it than just filling in the paperwork. So how many guns have you bought from this guy?

And by the way....I'm not a dealer. I haven't been a dealer for over 2 years. But I have run a small business for many years.

[colo-pr]

I don't understand this statement If an FFL dealer is going to have to SEND a gun to another FFL dealer, the sending FFL must still enter the gun in his/her book as a receipt and a disposition. May not need a BGC but still has to run it through his books..... Isn't that correct?

Ok, send and receive have a Fee (i understand that) but for send NO NEED a Background Check and for this reason NOT have anything to do with the imposed fee by the goverment. If you want to raise your cost MINIMUM dont do it in the same week of the goverment imposed fee, for me is Ethic.

and if their wife is sick $5-$10 box more dont help in anything...
