Worley Auctioneers Firearms Transfer Policy and Procedure
Penny Worley Auctioneers and 22three Firearms Store and Range, the federal firearms licensee assisting with the transfer of firearms, strictly adhere to all federal and state firearms laws. Firearms won at auction will be available for pickup at 22three. 22three will contact you once the item(s) is received, logged in and ready for pickup. 22three charges a $40 transfer fee per item (for Non-NFA items). If you are not local to 22three, they can ship your item(s) to an FFL in your area. See “Outgoing Transfers” below for pricing and restrictions.
22three strictly adheres to all federal and state firearms laws, including the guidelines outlined on ATF Form 4473. To ensure legal compliance, they are only able to transfer firearms to individuals who meet the following criteria: You must not fall under any of the prohibiting factors listed on ATF Form 4473. Purchasers must be at least 18 years of age or older to purchase long guns, and at least 21 years old to purchase handguns, receivers, or pistol grip firearms. To pick up a pistol, receiver, or pistol grip firearm, you must be an Ohio resident. For long guns, you must live in Ohio or a contiguous state. If you reside in another state, you may work with 22three to arrange to have the firearm shipped to a Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder in your home state, and a shipping fee will apply. (See “Outgoing Transfers” below.) Additionally, purchasers must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. 22three does not transfer firearms to individuals on temporary VISAs, such as work, travel or student VISAs. Prior to bidding on any firearm, please ensure that it is legal for you to possess in your state of residence.
All buyers will need to pass an FBI Instant Background Check (NICS/CJIS/LEEP) or have a current valid Ohio CCW permit. Transfers to non-licensed purchasers (except for muzzleloaders, antique firearms manufactured before 1898, or non-firearms) will be subject to this requirement. Firearm transfers to licensed dealers are exempt from this requirement, provided they submit a current, signed copy of their license.
At this time, Worley Auctioneers does not offer suppressors or other NFA items at auction.
Bidding Requirement:
The person who registers the bid must be the same person to pay and pick up the firearm. Transfers will not be allowed to anyone other than the registered bidder. Under no circumstances should you bid for someone else. If someone else wants the firearm, please ensure they register and create their own account.
Denials:
If you are denied during the background check, you will not be permitted to take possession of your firearm, and it will be re-auctioned with proceeds minus a commission fee returned to you.
Outgoing Transfers:
22three may ship firearms directly to valid FFL holders. At your request, 22three will ship/transfer your purchased firearm to your choice of FFL holders in your home state. For outgoing transfers of non-NFA items, 22three charges $50 per item, plus the cost of shipping.
If you plan to have your item(s) shipped to another FFL, please do the following:
1. Contact a local FFL and ask them if you may have a firearm shipped to their address. Please know that your local FFL will likely charge a fee to receive and process the firearm. These fees vary by FFL and it is your responsibility to pay this fee.
2. The receiving FFL holder should email a copy of their FFL to 22three at happypeople@22three.com.
3. When you pick up your firearm from your local FFL holder, they will have you complete the necessary paperwork, which will include a background check.
