I've decided that this is going to be my go-to FFL for out of state transfers. I placed 2 orders with different retailers and my experience receiving them with Money Market were fantastic.

The first order was with a retailer who didn't have MM's FFL on file. So after placing the order, I emailed MM with my order info to have them send their FFL. This was about 4:30 in the afternoon. I wake up the next morning to a reply that they'd send their license info. Two days later, I go in to pick up a new Beretta APX. The owner (I'm guessing he's the owner), isn't 100% up to date on all the latest tech. I ordered a Wolf Grey frame for the APX at the same time. When he saw the frame, he asked if I'd ordered 2 guns. I explained that it's interchangeable and that the frame isn't serialized. He, very nicely, asked if I minded that he check. I didn't blame him, if he gets something wrong, it's his FFL on the line. But even with that, my start-to-finish time was about 10 minutes. My second order was even better. They were already on file with the retailer, so no extra effort was needed on my part. I had an XD(M) and an LCP II sent there. In and out, I'd say it took him 5 minutes to process the paperwork and background check.

They're really friendly. Well, about as friendly as anyone can be when you're in the store for less than 10 minutes at a time. :) They charge $20 per gun plus $10 for the BGC. For one gun, the price is pretty typical at $30. If you're ordering 2 or more, you can probably find a better price if you're willing to shop around a bit. But given my experience with them so far, I don't feel all that compelled to shop around.

If you want to look over the inventory they have, find a time to go when it's not busy. The glass case is packed so full with handguns that you're literally looking at the tops of slides. If you know your stuff, you can figure out what's what. But they're packed in so tight, you can't make out most of the price tags. From what I was able to see, everything seemed to be tagged at full MSRP. So you'll probably need to try haggling a little if you want any discounting.

I was just here on Friday to pick up a Beretta APX. Ordered online on Monday and the gun arrived Thursday afternoon. But I couldn't get away to pick it up. Walked in around lunchtime on Friday and was done in less than 10 minutes!! I just placed another order to be shipped to them for an XD(M) and an LCP II. The comment about their handgun cabinet is spot on. They're packed in so densely that you have to be able to eyeball and ID guns from looking at just the top of the slide and locking block.

They get great reviews for transfer service.
They do need more space in the store, though.
The handguns are literally stacked side by each in the display cabinet.
You can't casually browse without grabbing someone to assist/show etc.

Over the past month,I have been the seller for 2 private transfers and 1 purchase.
Just bought an AK this morning,as a matter of fact.
These guys are really friendly,knowledgeable,and easy to work with.
Completely painless transactions all 3 times.
I really appreciate the lack of condescending attitude that some other places have.
I live VERY close to several pawn shops and a BIG name gun shop,and I've had nothing but B.S. from them.
Money Market pawn has gained my business,and I will go out of my way to drive to them rather than use the other jerks nearby.

Also,the transfer fee is reasonable compared to my local places.($30 compared to $50 from the "cool guys")
Anyway,if you're members here,thanks guys!

I've used them a couple times for private sales - they have always been friendly and easy to work with. I can get cheaper in O.C. ($20), but not everyone is willing to come to O.C. for a sale. For SE PDX, Money Market has been the best I've found so far.

This WAS my go to for FFL transfers as they are close to Happy Valley and have decent prices. I was just in there today to pick up a gun I ordered online. The owner Peter is a nice guy. Ive done probably a dozen transfers through them. I figured saving $5 - $7 travelling out to Tigard or Hillsboro was not worth it anymore. I definitely recommend Money Market Pawn. Check their website for coupons too for waived background check.

Edit: During the summer of 2018, I had witnessed a very unstable fellow trying to purchase his first gun at this pawn shop because his house had been robbed 2 times within a week. Had it been me behind the counter I would have said "bye Felicia", however, one of the guys behind the counter was very professional and educational to the unstable customer. I will never forget how he handled the situation as it really impressed me. Also to note, they do charge an extra fee for credit card users so just an FYI. Their prices have raised a bit since I first used them in 2011 and have now found better options locally.

I love this place. Price is decent and they have decent selection. They treat their customers good. You don't get that creepy vibes from them that you get from some of the other places. The owner himself is a firearm collector and the store often carries some rare modern firearms, like SIG SanSwiss P553.

Their transfer fee is the lowest as far as I know as well in Portland city. Just $30 flat or $32 with credit card.

Small shop but the guys are always fun and pleasant and they have cheap FFL transfers.
As of my last visit, still $20 plus $10 for the state for a total $30. He's my go to for online orders.

I found this place when I needed to do a transfer with a seller from Washington. $30 including the background check.

After the transfer I stayed to look at their used and new guns. They have a pretty good selection for a pawn shop.

Several weeks later I was on my way to a popular gun store on Powell Blvd. and I decided to stop at the Money Market again. They had a brand new Gen 4 Glock 19 for $509, which was cheaper than I saw them at gun shows. It was brand new complete with the case, 3 magazines, etc. and I bought it on the spot.

If you are in the market for a Glock check them out.
