I've been using other FFL dealers and heard the price here is better. I thought I wanted to share some feedback about my experience today because the situation was pretty frustrating and I think it mostly came down to communication. About a week ago I had a firearm shipped to your shop for transfer. Earlier today while I was working out in downtown Edmonds, I received a call from your store letting me know that my firearm had arrived and that I could come in anytime today to start the transfer process. Because I was excited to get the process going (10 day hold) and had been waiting for it to arrive, I actually stopped my workout immediately and drove over. It's about a 30-minute drive for me to get to your shop since I chose your store over others that are closer to me because your transfer pricing is better. However, when I arrived around 1:00 PM, the door was locked with a sign saying "At lunch, be back at 2 PM." What made this frustrating is that the call I received earlier was around 12:30 PM, and at no point during that call was it mentioned that the shop would be closed for an hour shortly after (I told them I'd see them soon today and and they told me "see you in a bit!"). If I had known that the store would be closed until 2:00 PM, I simply would have planned my trip differently or come later in the afternoon. Instead, I ended up driving 30 minutes only to sit in the parking lot for an hour (literally 58minutes) waiting for the store to reopen. Because of the distance, it doesn't make sense for me to drive back home and then return again. I completely understand that staff need lunch breaks, and that's not the issue. The frustration comes from being told I could come "anytime today" without being informed that the shop would actually be closed for a period of time shortly after the call. A simple mention during the call like, "You can come today, but we're stepping out for lunch from 1pm until 2 PM," would have avoided the entire situation and allowed me to plan accordingly. I chose to have the transfer done at your shop even though it's farther away because of the pricing, but in this case the extra time and inconvenience ended up outweighing the savings. I just wanted to share this feedback because better communication could prevent this kind of situation for future customers. I'll will say they are very friendly tho and the process was relatively easy. read more

AMAZING PRICES! never unreasonable! And always something new and random each time you visit! read more

Owner Jeff is a straight up guy to deal with. Will treat you fairly. Impressive shop with plenty of repeat customers. Read the reviews.

My FFL guy retired and two friends recommended Sound Loan for FFL transfers. I communicated with them via email prior to let them know I had a rifle headed their way. They replied promptly and called me on the same day the piece was delivered to them. I went in to do the transfer papers and the WA State semi-auto rifle course certification. Don't even get me started on that. The gentleman helping me felt my pain. Since my state seems to think a 10 business day wait will stop criminals from using guns I had to leave my gun there until the background check clears. I think a large amount of their business is gun sales and FFL transfers. They charge a competitive rate for transfers plus tax if necessary. The whole thing was $40 out the door (gun stayed there) but I'm not sure how that was broken up. The gentleman manning the store was easy to talk to and made things as simple as possible. Besides guns I saw items on shelves you typically see in a pawn shop. Power tools, musical instruments, jewelry etc. I shall return when they call. read more

Excellent people to deal with. Straight up honest and friendly, definitely recommend.

Honest and great to work with. Helpful in every aspect and did I mention honest? Highly recommended doing business with these folks.

Bought a firearm online and had it mailed to them. I'm new to the state and the area but the folks at Sound were fantastic, professional, and nothing but courteous. Had a line of 5 others ahead of me and they were in and out within 30 minutes. Definitely will be returning for further business in the future. read more

Cassiy and the young man working 3/20/21 where amazing to say the least. I brought about 18 firearms in for transfer 2 hours before closing on a busy Saturday and they gladly helped. No attitude or rude at all for such a work load on a Saturday, they didn't even bat an eye or complain simply got to work. I appreciate their help and professionalism and understanding to my situation. They even had a rude guy come in who they served and where nice to even tho he was very rude. Thanks sound pawn I'll be back read more

This is the second time I have dealt with Sound loan great guys. Plus they have the best price for FFL transfer fee around.

Jeff and Cathy are fantastic, I found them because they have the cheapest transfer prices around, and now I've bought/sold 10+/- guns from or through them. One gun I recently bought off gunbroker, the guy (seller) needed to get me additional information. Instead of having me contact the seller, take down a huge list of info from him trying to make sure I got everything the state requires, he (Jeff) just took care of it for me. Dealt with a lot of Ffl's, but none were as willing to do the leg work for me previously. For any of the other people complaining about his prices, he takes a lot of guns in on consignment, the people that own the guns dictate the prices. I've bought two guns from Jeff, and they were screaming deals. o/u 12ga ticket price $250, sold it to me for $175, and a 16 ga single shot for $70 w/a ticket of $110. Great people, easy to work with. Going to pick up another gun today. read more

Helpful and friendly. Great advise on how to do things with FFL transfers. This is my go to place now!

Best in the PNW. I wont go anywhere else for FFL transfers/paperwork. The folks who run the store, Jeff and Cathy, are easy to talk to, knowledgeable and just all around good people! read more

I've only been in twice. Found a pistol on Armslist they had and went in to check it out. It looked good so I put it on layaway. Also checked out a couple of other pistols and rifles. A couple of days later I decided I did not want the pistol I'd put on layaway, but did want a rifle I'd looked at. Went in to get the rifle and my layaway deposit back. Turns out that they do not refund a layaway deposit. So why am I giving them 5 stars? Because I believe them when they said the policy would have been explained to me. I think I was too excited about getting a gun I wanted (at that time) and did not pay enough attention when told about their layaway policy. But rather than just saying "sorry, that's policy", Jeff offered to apply more than 50% of the layaway deposit towards the rifle. He could have been a dick about it, but instead, he met me more than halfway. In addition to their customer service, they are very knowledgeable. Cathy was very helpful on my first visit. I'm a pretty newby shooter and did not know much about AR-15s. She showed me several features of the ones they had in stock. On my second visit, I worked with Devon. Again, knowledgable and patient. Found an AR-15 that better fit my needs than the one I looked at on the first visit and bought it. I am still searching out guns on different online sites (and locally as I buy local whenever practical), and will decidedly use Sound Loan as my FFL given their prices (most places charge $50) and their customer service. I'm also guessing the AR-15 I bought will not be the last gun I purchase there. Another reviewer complained about the prices. Well, some are good, some not so good, and as another person pointed out, some are on consignment so Jeff & crew have little flexibility. However, this is the first pawn shop I've been in where I've seen a few prices lower than I'd be able to buy the same thing new, not only online, but at one of the local gun shops Unless something changes on my next visit, Jeff & crew have earned a new repeat customer. read more

Just picked up my pistol great experience with friendly customer service I will definitely use for my FFL again.

If you need to do an FFL transfer then come here. Best prices. I've done two separate transfers and both times I was able to pick up my firearm before I expected. I searched a lot of places and decided to come here and glad I did. When I need to do another transfer I will be coming back to Sound Loan. Great service and great people. read more

A real old fashioned pawn shop. Best place around Puget Sound for Private Transfers or to have a firearm shipped here, just give them a note what and when it is arriving. Fantastic people and place, reminds me of going to pawn shops on rainy saturdays when I was younger. Thanks for helping me out - again! read more

I have been hunting at pawnshops all my life. In Everett you are lucky if you get any customer service in a pawnshop. Sound Loan has a great honest staff that is always willing to work with you. Others in the area don't care about you. Sound Loan has the best FFL transfer fees in the state! I have yet to find anyone that is cheaper. Usually cheaper comes with a cost of good customer service. Not at Sound Loan you get a great deal, and great fast service. So if you are looking to buy a firearm online give Sound Loan a call and have it shipped to them. The storefront is freshly remodeled, which is nice to see in Everett's downtown area. Sound Loan has invested in Everett's future by helping clean up the downtown. If you are into fishing you can go in get rods, reels, tackle boxes, and other gear. Plus just ask Jeff for help and he will point you to the hot spots for fishing! Most guys won't give up their honey holes but Jeff just wants to help you catch fish. Last thing he has a great display of old neat things he has collected over the years. So even if you aren't looking to pawn something stop by to see his upper shelves of neat things he has collected over the years. It's like going to a museum. Every time I go in I see something new. So take some time to stop by a Everett landmark. read more

See all

I have used them for several firearms transactions, I have bought from their inventory, I have sold 3 firearms to private individuals using them for FFL transfer and I have received an online handgun purchase as well. The FFL transfer fees are the best in town at $15 for Rifles and $25 for Handguns. They will treat you fair and honest. read more

These folks are great. I used them for an FFL transfer and it was cheap and convenient. They answered my emails quick and got everything arranged quickly with my seller. Thanks again. read more

I have never been treated in such a dignified manor in a pawn shop. Ever! These folks are some of the nicest and respectful brokers i have ever met. They didn't low ball me at all. read more

Had a long gun FFL transfer from gun broker. They lost my box, owners manual. Not impressed will not use them again. No apology, no discount offered to make up for there mistake read more

I had a great experience here! I had never pawned anything before and was brand new to the experience. I was coming in to sell old jewelry and the woman who helped me was super friendly. There was a bit of a wait and she was super apologetic. I will definitely come here again! read more

Great dealer to do FFL transfers with. Prices are way better than any FFL I've dealt with. Friendly and easy to work with. To the person who talk about the prices, it's likely it's the owner of the firearm who set those prices since he does sell by consignment. Currently there is a gun craze and people are willing to buy those firearms for way over price.. though I would never personally buy for those prices. Note: I'm a long time customer, not a employee. read more

This is my hometown pawn shop and they are wonderful to work with. Everyone I go in, I'm greeted. Everyone I go in, I feel like I'm part of their family. The owner and staff are phenomenal. All of them are very nice and, for me, I was able to engage in negotiating price reduction ( this is lost in most places). I look forward to when I can barter with them (I haven't tried yet). read more

Seems like they are some nice people but the prices are ridiculous. It seems like they are completely guessing with pricing. There's handguns that are 50-100 dollars more than brand new. Also, a good amount of tools from Harbor Freight that are very heavily used/worn out that are the same price as in store, that you could get even cheaper with one of their million coupons. I personally would never buy anything there. read more

I've made a couple purchases with no issue, firearm prices seem fair but gun cleaning kits & ammunition are a little overpriced..... in regards to the other reviews I'm a little confused about all the negativity, I know pawn shops can be a little on the cheap side when giving loans but that's to be expected, feelings get hurt & people are awfully sensitive in this liberal/snowflake world we live in & I believe people that come in for loans are expecting top dollar for their goods, when they don't get it their perception of the employee changes drastically. My experience in people who go into pawn shops for loans #1 are not your savory types #2 not good with their finances #3 looking for drug money. This is a sad but hard truth (obviously doesn't apply to all customers) - but I always try and remember when buying anything from these shops that these people have major overhead to run their business & as a business you need to bring money in to pay the bills. If you don't like the offered price then suck it up & leave.... just sayin. Overall the employees have been nice, can't expect much from a modern day American in regards to professionalism but heh, it's a PAWN SHOP guys! Lol read more

This is the place to go if you are looking for an FFL that charges a low and reasonable transfer fee. They have the absolute lowest FFL transfer fee...period. Had just used them for a transfer and it was a positive experience. Very satisfied with the prompt service I received. Wish I had known about this place sooner. read more

I tried to be a good customer of Jeff's, and he was constantly ignoring me to "just" visit with others who cam in. I simply decided to not bother going in there any more read more

These people are just great people, thats all there is to it. Jeff is very reasonable and polite. A friend turned me on to this place for FFL Transfers and I'm very glad he did. They have the best price around by far. Jeff is just one of those guys you WANT to give your business too, and I will continue to do so. He even shipped a pistol for me for free, I packed and paid the postage and he just sent it - whereas other places wanted a transfer of $50-70 in addition to shipping fees. I was so impressed I had to find something to buy from him just to give him more business! Now I just wish I could get him to sell me that cool old radio and mantle clock he has along with a bunch of the other antiques he has on display! Do business with Sound Loan, you wont regret - and its good karma! hahahaha read more

If you're looking for an FFL transfers for you, look no further. These guys have some of the cheapest transfer rates that I've seen in a decade. They're fast, friendly, open to doing internet auction site transfers, and communication was excellent. I got a phone call within an hour of my UPS tracking number indicating the package had been delivered. They even have Saturday hours which many kitchen table FFLs do not. read more

Jeff is a great guy! I've done 4 FFL transfers through his shop and it has been a tremendous experience each time. Very reasonably priced too! read more

Jeff, the owner, is a great guy. Honest, easy-going and reasonable. A small shop with small selection, but fair deals and reliable information. read more

Friendly place and great FFL. Will transfer through them in the future.
