Mike- The FFL was $35 for three years before the clinton administration, but thanks to the ultra liberal gun grabber the Fee for a Type 1 Dealer License is $200.00 for the first 3 years. Renewal of your license is the $90.00 for each additional 3 years after that. In some areas you may have to wait or may not be able to obtain a license, depends on the number of dealers in your area. This is on top of any state taxes or fees, and the cost of setting up your log books and other various paperwork.
