Have a firearm you want to sell? Consignment is one of the most effective ways to get strong value for a collectible or surplus firearm, and Old Steel Arsenal runs a consignment program for sellers in Plano and beyond. Here is how it works and when it makes sense.
What consignment means
With consignment, you leave your firearm with us to sell on your behalf. We photograph it, write it up honestly, list it to our catalog and shop floor, handle the inquiries and the paperwork, and pay you out once it sells. You get the benefit of our audience and our compliance handling without managing the sale yourself.
Why sellers choose consignment
- Better reach. Your firearm is shown to buyers who are specifically looking for surplus and collectible arms.
- Honest presentation. We grade and photograph it properly, which builds buyer confidence and supports a fair price.
- Compliance handled. Transfers, background checks, and record-keeping are managed by a licensed dealer.
- No hassle. You do not have to field messages, meet strangers, or arrange shipping yourself.
How payout and fees work
The arrangement is simple: we agree on pricing with you up front, list the firearm, and once it sells and the transfer is complete, we pay you your share. Our consignment fee is agreed before we list, so you know exactly what you will receive. Pricing is set together — we will give you an honest read on what the market is doing for your specific make, model, and condition, so the firearm is priced to sell without leaving money on the table.
Is consignment right for you?
Consignment tends to make the most sense for collectible, surplus, or higher-value firearms, where presentation and reaching the right buyer matter most. If you would rather sell quickly, or you are not sure which route fits your firearm, contact us and we will talk through the options.
