Here in Washington if you follow the multitude of rules private sellers take the gun to a dealer who charges anywhere from 25 to over a 100 in some instances to do the transfer.
If the gun comes from out of state they also charge you tax. If the value isn't clearly noted on a receipt, they charge tax on fair market value. In a couple words it sucks.
Also now recently they changed it so one has to leave the gun for 10 days. Used to be once an approval was obtained you could pick up the gun. They had 7 days to give the approval or you could just pick it up.
Before that in the good days, if a person had a carry permit, they could just call and get instant check and you could leave with your shiny new toy.
Part of the fault for that was the Feds decided they wouldn't do the instant check any longer. State was suppose to implement one themselves but it never happened.
