Expert Firearm Auctions Since 1997

For 30 years, KIKO has been the name people trust when it matters most, from major life transitions to selling your family home or downsizing valuable personal collections. No matter what we’ve sold, we’ve always delivered the same level of focus, integrity, and commitment to treating your possessions with care.  

Over the years, we have honed our expertise in one category in particular – firearms. We’ve seen collections handed down through generations, pieces with important stories, and investments that deserve more than a quick sale to the first offer.  

After decades of firearms auctions, we knew these collections needed a dedicated approach built specifically around their unique requirements.  

That’s why we created KIKO Auctioneers – Firearms. 

Compliance and Performance – Simplified  

KIKO is giving firearms the focused expertise they require. Because when you’re dealing with valuable assets and strict regulations, you need someone who knows exactly what they’re doing.  

Our mission is simple:  

• Every transaction conducted with full ATF compliance to deliver the legal peace of mind that you deserve.  

• Performance that leverages our nationwide reach and decades of market knowledge to get you faster sales and better results.   

• A consignment process so straightforward, you’ll wonder why anyone does it differently. 

This is KIKO, refined for firearms. White-glove service. Real results. Zero guesswork.
