Bid/Ask Questions

Understanding the marketplace

A bid is the price a buyer is willing to pay. An ask is the price a seller is willing to accept. When a bid meets an ask, a sale happens automatically.

Bids and asks remain active until they're matched, you cancel them, or they expire based on your settings. You can manage all your active orders from your dashboard.

The Bid/Ask marketplace is designed for FFL dealers listing new inventory. If you're not an FFL, you can sell on our Community marketplace instead—no license required.

When prices match, the sale is confirmed instantly. Payment is processed, and you'll receive instructions to select your FFL for pickup. The seller ships directly to your chosen FFL.
