SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Buyers Eligibility to purchase firearms: It is the Buyer’s responsibility to determine your eligibility to purchase a firearm in your state. If you fail to qualify in your state, you will own a firearm that you cannot possess. All sales are absolutely final on the day of the Auction. No refunds if it is determined that you are ineligible to own a firearm.
Firearms Disclaimer: The Auction House has not fired any firearm in this auction (unless otherwise noted). As such we cannot and do not warranty these items. Printed statements or descriptions by staff are provided in good faith and are a matter of opinion only and positively come with no warranty or guarantee of accuracy. Every effort should be made to have all firearms inspected by a qualified gunsmith before use. We are not responsible for imperfections not mentioned in the descriptions. If you have any questions on a particular firearm listed in the auction catalog, please contact us before bidding.
Catalog Descriptions & Bid Retractions: Gunslinger Auctions has put forth every effort in preparing the catalog for this auction to provide accurate descriptions of all items. All firearms and other auction items are sold 'as-is, where is', with all faults noted in the description or unknown. By placing bids, bidders signify that either they have examined the items to their satisfaction or they have chosen not to personally examine them.
AUCTION CATALOG TYPE OF FIREARM DESCRIPTIONS:
“C&R” Firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic (C&R) per ATF standards. In-house Buyers with their Curio & Relic Licenses and Certificates of Eligibility (COE) can register and pick up their item on the same day. Out of State C&R rules apply. C&R qualifying firearms cannot be shipped direct to C&R holders within the State of California.
“PPT” Firearm qualifies as a private party transfer if the registration is performed at our Orange, CA location. PPT items are exempt from the CA Safe Handgun Roster. Items lose their PPT status if sent to another FFL even in California. Items are exempt from the California 1 firearm in 30 days limit until January 1, 2025. Does not apply to out of state Buyers.
“Modern” Firearm does not qualify as a Curio and Relic firearm and California restrictions may apply. Local rules for out of state Buyers may also apply. Make sure you can legally purchase a “Modern” listed firearm in your jurisdiction before bidding.
“Out of State Only” Firearm cannot be sold in California unless Buyer is exempt from California Restrictions.
“Pre 98/Antique” Item does not qualify as a firearm per ATF and can be shipped directly to the buyer. No registration is required. This category includes modern reproductions of percussion cap and muzzle loading firearms (i.e., non-cartridge firing) as they are exempt from ATF and California DOJ registration requirements.
“1 in 30 or 1/30” Firearm can be sold in California but is subject to the 1 firearm in 30 days restriction. California buyers should plan accordingly. Please note, storage fees will apply if arrangements have not been made in writing with the auction house. Does not apply to out of state Buyers.
A REMINDER - ABSOLUTELY NO BID RETRACTIONS

Items without reserve may be withdrawn at any time by the Auctioneer or an authorized representative agent from the Auction House. No liability in connection with withdrawal of any item may be asserted.
Bid Disputes: For any dispute arriving after the sale, the Auction House’s sales record will be conclusive in all respects. The auctioneer has the sole discretion to advance the bidding and may reject a
nominal advance, should it in his estimation prove injurious to the auction. The auctioneer shall be the final judge in all bidding disputes and shall name a bidder as the purchaser. In-person bids take precedence over internet bids. Each Customer is responsible for picking up the items they purchase or sending us a copy of a valid FFL and paying for shipping. We are not responsible for items not picked up at the auction house once purchased.
The Auction House shall not be held responsible for any 'missed' bids or bids unseen by the auctioneer.
All Sales are Final: All purchases are final upon the Auctioneer’s pronouncement of “Sold”, and the Buyer then assumes all risks and responsibilities for the purchase at that point.
Registration to Bid: Registration must be completed at least 24 hours in advance of the auction. If the day before an auction falls on a holiday or weekend, the deadline is the day before the holiday or the Friday prior to the auction.
Shipping and Pickup: It is the buyer’s responsibility to verify local and state gun laws— Curio & Relic firearms may be picked up from the Auction House if you hold a valid 03 Federal Firearms Collections License and meet all legal requirements for pick up. All Post 1898 firearms must be registered per these Terms & Conditions. We will only release purchases to the person specified on their winning bid invoice.
We will not reach out to customers over incomplete orders. It is the Buyer’s responsibility for picking up or for sending the Auction House the required documentation to ship out an order. Any storage, packing or shipping after the auction is at your sole risk as the Buyer, and you agree to hold us harmless for any damage or loss.

California residents: No purchases are allowed for firearms listed as out of state only. Further, no magazines exceeding a ten cartridge capacity will be included in California sales. It is solely the buyer's responsibility to verify local and state gun laws in states of residence.
Calculation of Storage Fees & Abandoned Items: Unless arrangements have been made with the Auction House, IN WRITING, items with outstanding invoices or for which no FFL has been received for shipping left longer than 30 days from close of the Auction will start accumulating a storage fee of $5 PER day PER Item. The Auction House has no obligation to deliver the items to the Buyer or his/her agent until all sums are paid in full and all balances are cleared. Payments will be credited in the following order: Unpaid storage fees, then unpaid charges, and finally the bid amount and Buyer’s Premium plus any additional state fees.
After this storage fee has exceeded the total invoiced price of the item purchased, the item will be considered abandoned and reverted to the property of the Auction House. It is to the Auction House’s discretion to resell any abandoned item in any future sale to recoup storage fees. No refunds, exchanges, or credit on abandoned items.
Damaged Firearms, Returns, and Refunds: The Auction House practices due diligence and care when packaging and handling winning bids. We MAY offer a partial or full refund, or return for items that incur damage during shipping or items which are misrepresented at auction. Full or partial refunds will be determined on a case by case basis. Due to the return policies of Fedex, items damaged in shipping will require pictures of the package as it arrived or reject delivery if damaged. It is the Buyer's responsibility to contact their receiving FFL prior to the delivery and update them of this policy. It is recommended to take photos of the package when received even if showing no exterior damage.
All claims must be accompanied by photos of the damaged item. Returns processed without photos will be charged a 30% restocking fee. The Auction House must be notified within five (5) days of receipt at the shipping address of any issue with damage or no refund or return will be accepted. Any claims submitted after this time period will be denied. If the buyer accepts the condition of the item and removes it from the shipping address, all damage claims will be denied. Returns due to reasons other than misrepresented items (inaccurate listings) or shipping damage, the buyer will be responsible for return shipping costs. Please ensure the returned product is securely packaged to prevent damage during transit. Once a return is received, the Auction House will inspect it to ensure the return meets the criteria for eligibility mentioned in this policy. All approved returns will be issued a refund within 3-5 business days after receipt of the returned item.
