About Us

Southeast Gun Buyers has been serving the firearms community since 2007. We began as Chiquita Guns in Cape Coral, later became GUNS on 41 in Fort Myers, and today operate as Southeast Gun Buyers. Over the years, we’ve adapted to the constant changes in the firearms industry while building a reputation for knowledge, integrity, and service.

To date, we have bought, sold, transferred, appraised, shipped, and consigned more than 18,000 firearms. Along the way, we’ve guided clients through every major market shift—from the handgun and “assault weapon” surge of 2012–13, to the ammunition shortages of 2013–15, to the industry downturn beginning in 2016.

Knowledge of Firearms Laws

The legal landscape for firearms is always evolving. We stay current on both federal regulations and state-by-state laws, ensuring our clients receive accurate, up-to-date guidance.

In Florida, changes have been moderate in recent years.
In other states—where many of our clients relocate from or spend winters—laws have shifted more dramatically.
We’ve advised thousands of clients on issues such as concealed carry reciprocity, red-flag laws, interstate travel, shipping, and transfers.

With more than a decade of experience, we provide clarity on possession, transfers, shipping, carrying, buying, and selling.

Two Key Areas of Change

Modern Firearms & Accessories The market for new firearms, ammunition, and accessories has become highly competitive. Thanks to smartphones, online retailers, and the “Amazon effect,” buyers now have instant access to pricing and availability. This has driven down costs and commoditized much of the modern market. We encourage clients to take advantage of these resources when purchasing new products.
Classic & Collectible Firearms Where we truly add value is in the classic, antique, and collectible firearms market. This area remains strong, active, and increasingly online. In the past, used and collectible firearms were limited to gun shows and small shops, often with inflated prices. Today, we sell dozens of diverse firearms each month through online auctions, giving us real-time insight into market trends and true values.
