Hi, NewLuger. I live here in TN as well and typically receive guns for my collection with my C&R (FFL03) license, and don't have to pay an FFL fee. That way I can return them within the 3 day inspection period and undergo no transfer and fees.
When I buy a non-C&R gun, I perform my inspection at my preferred FFL holder's premises (in my case a gun shop). If I am unsatisfied, I return the gun and undergo no transfer or fees other than perhaps return shipping. I would not have a gun transferred to me without completing my inspection. If I overlooked something and the gun was transferred, I would have to arrange to return the gun to the user's FFL for re-transfer unless there is a provision I am unaware of.
When I occasionally sell a gun to a non-FFL or non-C&R holder, I recommend that they do the same. If they do not, they would have to return a C&R gun directly to me, or I guess I would have to pay to have the non-C&R gun re-transferred to me unless there is a provision I do not know about.
