Whether you are emigrating, downsizing your safe, resolving an expired firearm licence, or winding up a deceased family estate, here is how selling your gun works legally under South African law:
Holding a firearm with an expired green or white licence card exposes owners to serious legal risk. In South Africa, you cannot legally sell an expired-licence firearm to a private individual. However, transferring the firearm directly into accredited dealer stock via a SAPS 534 intake form is a recognised, lawful mechanism to surrender the weapon safely, eliminate personal criminal liability, and still receive a fair cash payout.
When selling your gun, fair market cash value depends on make (e.g. Glock, CZ, Musgrave, Sako), calibre availability, mechanical rifling condition, cosmetic wear, and included extras such as original cases, magazines, and optics. We evaluate live South African market demand data to give you an honest cash buyout figure rather than an inflated speculative estimate.
Selling a gun privately requires waiting 6 to 18 months while the buyer's Central Firearms Register (CFR) licence application is processed. Throughout this entire waiting period, the firearm remains registered in your name, making you criminally liable for safe storage. When selling directly to FirearmTrader, the firearm enters dealer stock immediately on day one, transferring all liability away from you.
If you have inherited a firearm or represent a deceased estate as an Executor, you need legal documentation (Letter of Executorship and Death Certificate) to dispose of the firearms lawfully. We work closely with executors, family members, and trust attorneys to provide compliant valuation certificates, armory safekeeping, and total collection buyouts.
