When firearms appear in auctions, Adam's transfers them through Tom's Firearms (a local FFL). This involves:

• •$40 transfer fee per firearm (applies to all buyers, regardless of FFL status)
• •Mandatory 72-hour hold pending background check
• •Out-of-state buyers: Tom's arranges transfer to a local FFL in your area
• •Ammunition sales require valid FOID card (Illinois) or government-issued ID (out of state)

Adam holds real estate licenses in Illinois and Missouri. His staff is available 24/7 for customer needs. The company's growth has been driven by staying ahead of industry trends and adapting services to client demands—which has meant investing heavily in online auction infrastructure.
