Patriot Firearms of Delaware

Consignments...
If you have firearms that you would like to place on consignment, we offer a 75/25 split.  We will assist you in setting a price and will market your firearm until sold.  In most cases, items will be offered online as well as displayed and shown in the store.   Every attempt is made to get the sales price you desire, and in no case will we sell the item for less without your express consent.  Subsequent to sale, you will receive a check for 75% of the sales amount.  Many individuals find this arrangement beneficial whether they are "thinning the herd" or just want some extra cash in their pockets for a rainy day...  

Please note:  Consignments are discretionary and each item will be considered on a case by case basis.  We reserve the right to refuse any item presented for consignment for any reason.   In addition, past consignment sales for a customer do not imply an agreement to accept additional items from that individual.

Trade-ins and Purchases of your Firearms...
All trade-ins and purchases of firearms owned by you are discretionary.  Due to the present economic environment, many individuals approach us daily with firearms they wish to sell.  Unfortunately, due to the sheer abundance of firearms offered to us, we can't buy them all, nor is every item well-suited to a timely resale.  Please understand that we must decide on a case by case basis whether we are interested in any particular item. 



When we executed the lease for our store, we loved the open feeling of the elongated space and very much appreciated the Colonial feeling of the exposed brick on the Southeast wall.  Delaware is, after all, the first State.  It wasn't long and we and had a strong vision for how a little paint, a bit of imagination and an intense desire to share a special space with our customers would help us shape the visual experience of everyone who visits.  One thing that was certain with a name like Patriot Firearms of Delaware was the necessity to have an amazing U.S. flag and all it symbolizes as the anchor of this space.  And, so, the Northwest wall had a space for nearly a year that was designated "the flag wall," yet there was no flag. 

The reason?  Who knew it would be a tall order to meet our specs?  We wanted to have a flag that was made in the USA (you cannot imagine how many US flags fly every day that are made in China and other faraway places), we wanted the flag to be made of a traditional material -- cotton, and we wanted the flag to be pocketed to facilitate a tapestry rod mounting.  Add to all this that we needed the flag in 5'x8' and we ran out of options quickly.  We searched high and low and were told even by those companies who claim to make "custom" flags that our order was not possible -- everyone offered one in polyester only. 

Finally, a customer came in who knew of a company in Williamsburg, Virginia that could handle our order.  This company is homegrown like us.  They are a family business that worked hard and sacrificed heavily to obtain the American dream.  Now, their flags are proudly flying in the Pentagon and many other official Federal installations and landmarks.  Nearly a year has gone by since we opened and we FINALLY have our flag!   It was a custom order and took weeks to receive, but every stitch is perfect and it is all the things we value in a flag.  It has finally taken its' place on the wall!  Our deepest thanks and our sincere gratitude go to the family and owners of  FLAGSTUFF.COM for their kind assistance in making this a priority.  We couldn't be happier with the work they did for us!!!

Should you find a firearm at another store either while online or simply shopping outside of Delaware, you will need to have your purchase sent to an FFL Dealer in Delaware for the background requirements to be completed prior to delivery of the firearm to you.  Please feel free to contact us and we will be more than happy to facilitate the receipt of your new firearm for a modest fee.  ***Our Transfer fee is $35.00 per firearm pass or fail.*** 
 ****WE OFFER THIS SERVICE EXCLUSIVELY TO U.S. CITIZENS****

NOTE:  Internet and out of State purchases are not a way to circumvent the law.  Please be positive that if you have firearm(s) transferred to our store that you are not a person prohibited from possessing firearm(s).  If a transfer cannot be completed and an item needs to be returned to the seller's FFL premises due to a failed State and/or Federal background check, failure to meet age requirements, or the suspician that you may be engaging in a "Straw Purchase" or any other illegal or inappropriate activity, processing fees ($50.00 per item) will be incurred in addition to actual shipping charges.  You are responsible for these charges prior to shipments being picked up by UPS.  All shipments will include insurance and delivery confirmation with adult signature required.  Handguns will be sent by air.  Failed transfers which are not returned to the original seller within 30 calendar days are considered abandoned property.

Transfers to other FFL Dealers...
Should you sell a firearm online, most FFL Dealers will not accept items directly from you.  In this case, you will need to have that item delivered to an FFL Dealer in the Buyer's State of Residence.  We will happily facilitate this transfer for $40.00 per firearm.  You are responsible for actual shipping costs (please include insurance on all items to be shipped).  It is customary to have the purchaser reimburse you for your shipping charges.  We use UPS for all our shipping needs and are proud to offer this service to you.  No international shipments, no exceptions.
