Sell your guns in Saginaw.

Buying in Saginaw and Saginaw County

The Tri-Cities have deep hunting traditions and correspondingly deep gun cabinets.

Saginaw County holds 27 licensed dealers across eight towns, with Bay and Midland adding more nearby. The hunting culture here is genuinely deep, and estates regularly run to twenty or thirty firearms — mostly working rifles and shotguns, with the occasional very good gun bought in a better year.

With 27 licenses and just 4 manufacturers, Saginaw County deals in working guns. The value in an estate here is usually condition, plus whichever older piece somebody happened to look after properly.

No pawnbroker holds a license anywhere in the county. Guns here move dealer to dealer or hand to hand, and estates are correspondingly more complete than in places with a pawn counter on every other corner.

What collections look like around here

The Flint, Saginaw and Bay area holds a lot of firearms and a lot of dealers — Genesee County alone has 74, including fourteen licensed pawnbrokers, which is among the highest counts in Michigan. That mix means guns here have often changed hands several times locally, and condition varies enormously from one house to the next.

Estates in Saginaw County

Deep hunting traditions in this part of the state mean gun cabinets are rarely small. Estates here regularly run to twenty or thirty firearms, most of them working guns with a few surprises buried in the middle.

We also cover Bay City, Midland, Frankenmuth and Freeland — and the rest of Michigan besides. If you have something worth looking at, distance is our problem, not yours.

There are more than we expected.

Usually are, in the Tri-Cities. The hunting culture here runs deep enough that a cabinet described as 'a few guns' turns out to be twenty-five, most of them working rifles and shotguns with two or three surprises buried in the middle. Worth an hour instead of a phone call.

One thing worth knowing before anyone looks at it, wherever you are: don’t clean it. A polished or re-blued gun can be worth a fraction of an untouched one, and it can’t be undone.
