For me, I prefer cut above pawn. No BS, clean pawn shop, they dont care how you pay and no silly fees - $25 covers transfer and bgc. I used to prefer Tigard Pawn 4 more which is the same price but they only accept cash, are a bit nosey, and require you bring your own COLORED photo copy of your drivers license otherwise they charge you an extra $3. If I dont feel like travelling then money market pawn shop in Portland is a good alternative for $30 which covers bgc and transfer fee. They do charge you like 3 % more now if you use card which I think is stupid.

Awesome thank you!

PS: A forum member gave me a good tip - if you ever go to cut above pawn there is a small mexican bakery across the street that has excellent pastries for good prices. My wife likes to come with me when I do my business so knowing shes going to go there before/after we visit the pawn shop at least keeps her happy.

That information is GOLD
Keeping the wife happy... priceless.

Have you ever been delayed by the Oregon State Police when submitting a BGC?

I am going to become a justice of the peace so I can officiate weddings. Then friends can get married and tranfer each other all the guns they want. Makes about as much sense.
I'll only charge $10 to officiate the wedding.

I use BBT arms, $20. Just need to schedule time with him, nice guy.

I use either Cut Above Pawn or Tigard Pawn 4 More. Always had good experiences at both.

I'll give another vote for A Cut Above Pawn. Always quick, professional service.

I also use Money Market Pawn. The relatively new $2 cc fee is an annoyance, but not a deal breaker. If you buy a gun from Peter (as opposed to a trasnsfer), he'll eat the $10 OSP bgc fee.

Yes... twice.

Tigard Pawn 4 More is the only FFL that I know of that will release your firearm to you if the OSP don't extend the delay.

My daughter's FFL in Arkansas required a COLOR photocopy of my DL... weird. Why color?

BTW it costs a biz 3% to get paid for your credit card charge. Some businesses eat the cost, some don't. But why is it stupid for them to recover their costs? You think the things you buy don't include the manufacturers costs, etc? For instance, the new car tax WILL get passed on to the customer... is that stupid, or just how things work?

I consider CC fee's to be just like those little car dealer stickers they put on new cars with the "Fair Market Adjustment"...

MSRP and factory kickbacks already include all the reasonable dealer profit for automobiles. For firearms, the seller has set the price, it should be inclusive...

Its just my opinion that its stupid. No need to elaborate beyond that. Hence why I personally prefer to go to another shop that doesnt charge the extra fee. Do whatever floats your boat.

Who me? I don't have a boat. I had to sell out because the evil oil company corporations keep exploiting my use of evil fossil fuels in an effort to make gazillions before the sources run out, causing smog deaths, global warming, and people like me to no longer be able to afford to go fishing.

Thanks for that tip!
I'm still deciding on any possible FFL for myself, but currently buying new.

You forgot the part about saving the oil reserves for the global ice age and eventual Third World War... it's about more than that hippie crap! LoL
