Black Diamond Armory + Online Auctions = Stress-Free Selling
Got an extra firearm taking up space in the safe? Looking to offload something without the hassle of private sales or marketplace roulette?
We’ve got good news.
Black Diamond Armory is now set up with an online auction house that gets over 100k unique visitors each auction. A top-tier online auction house specializing in used firearms. That means you can now drop off your firearm with us and let the pros handle everything — from photos and listings to final sale and payment — all with zero stress on your end. Your used firearms are almost guaranteed to sell, as long as we think its worth than more than $100.
Here’s How It Works:
Drop Off Your Firearm at Black Diamond Armory. It's completely free to drop off — no upfront fees. Just sign a quick waiver and we’ll take it from there.
We Handle the Details. We package and ship your firearm to the auction house. Their team handles the professional photography, data entry, listing creation, and live auction.
It Hits the Auction Block. Firearms are listed in monthly online auctions, which reach over a hundred thousand eager bidders across the country. From drop-off to auction end typically takes 4–6 weeks.
You Get Paid. Once your gun sells, payment is processed in about 2 weeks. We’ll write you a check for the payout amount minus a 10% service fee — that’s it. No hidden charges or complex math.
A Few Important Notes:
📦 All shipping and listing logistics are handled by us — you don’t lift a finger.
⏳ No reserve pricing is allowed, meaning there’s no guarantee on a minimum sale price — but it’s also what helps drive buyer interest and quicker sales.
🔄 Didn’t sell the first time? This is rare, but no problem. Listings that don’t sell in the first round will go into the next month’s auction, and nearly always sell by round two.
💻 All auctions are online, so your listing gets national exposure without ever leaving town.
Why It’s Worth It:
This isn’t some backdoor consignment. It’s a fully white glove, streamlined, and safe way to sell firearms through a licensed auction platform. You avoid the stress, liability, and time-drain of selling privately, while still getting strong market value for your used firearm.
Whether it’s a deer rifle you don’t use anymore, a double you inherited, or something you're just ready to move on from — this is your hassle-free exit strategy.
Ready to Get Started?
Come by Black Diamond Armory with your firearm and a photo ID. We’ll walk you through the quick waiver, handle the intake, and make sure your gun is ready for the next online auction event.
