WA FFL charging tax on out of state purchases?

[Special T]

I ordered one from Cheaper than dirt and had it shipped in. Mainly because my guy couldn't find anywhere else to buy the damn thing. It was a 10-22 with one of those tapco stocks... But your right, you can likely get it the same price by the time you figure in all the hastle.

Because I can find a gun for 150 below msrp every day and buy it any time instead of spending the time and fuel tracking down a similar deal. Paying an extra 3% and 30 bucks on top of that doesn't bother me much at all. I apparently am cheating the system though. I don't really mind since I pay state income tax to a state that actually stands for it's people.

I can't see why anyone would order a firearm on line anymore.. With shipping,credit card fee's, ffl tranfere fee's and now the "infamous use tax"    It would most likely definitely be cheaper and easier not to mention less stressful to just have your local  -(in state) gun shop order your gun 

Because I dont have to pay credit card fee's and I dont have to pay FFL fees    and because I can get them cheaper and at wholesale cost

So!  you must have a dealers license then I take it?
 The average online gun shopper may break even if he shops around but I seriously doubt he could get a better deal than if he made a few calls to pawn shops or gunshops to order and find him a deal    These days

I will continue to order my guns online, it may take more work to find great deals in brand new guns, but there are still smoking deals to be had in used guns.  on the purchase that inspired this thread I still saved almost $350 over what I would have paid locally IF they had what I wanted in stock or IF they were able to order it. which is usually a BIG IF.

You may have a good point there Stilly bay... I didn't know you purchased both Silver Pigeons used

actually I purchased them both brand spanking new from an out of state retailer. I tried to give a couple local shops my business but they either couldn't give me a straight answer, turned me away, or the price mark up would have just been stupid.

I started buying on line because every time I have ever tried to order a new gun from a local retailer, gun shop, or pawnshop its been a royal pain in the ass, and the price mark up was a major deterrent as well. after adding up  the fee's I determined it wasn't worth the hassle when I could come out ahead just by ordering it myself off the internet.

I still contend that there are some good deals to be had online, new or used. I just got unexpectedly hammered coz I didn't do my homework and factor in all the costs. now I know and knowing is half the battle.

Nope, no dealers license.

Wazukie, maybe you could pm me the location you have a gun shipped to where it's a free FFL tranfere fee?  That would atleast save me $40 and finding where to get a shotgun at wholesale cost would be great too

Yeah i hear ya there!   and just like anything else you REALLY need to shop around FIRST to try to compensate for all the extra fee's and charges
