I had heard from somewhere, maybe Duffys, that you had to purchase from in the state you live in. But that could definitely be wrong.

You can buy a suppressor out of state. They are federally regulated. However, you will have to get the out of state dealer to do a form 3 transfer to a local FFL in state and then have the local FFL do the form 4 (tax stamp). It's really not worth the hassle of buying out of state on NFA items unless it's a full auto firearm that you really want to own.
Most shops seem to be $150 for NFA transfers.

If it was that easy, everyone would do it. It ain't.

They vary wildly. I have bought several cans online and transferred them through South Carroll Sporting goods. I don’t remember what he charged, and even if I did, it may have changed, but he is very reasonable and easy to deal with.
How easy or hard it is will depend solely on how easy or hard your FFL makes it. My FFL in Virginia makes it easy. Works the same as purchasing any other firearm: Buy online, tell them where to send it (most places already have their FFL on file). $40 transfer fee. Then do all the obnoxious form4 stuff for NFA items.
I think the default answer you'll get from most FFLs that deal with NFA items is $150 or so.

You may end up not seeing any of the 200 savings once you factor in any fees. I have done it as well. As long as the can is on a form 3, the ATF dealer to dealer transfer is easy and will add a few weeks or more to the process. Shop around. Transfer fees can widely range up to $250. Don't forget the dealer who is doing the form 4 will have to store it for a year or so. The transferring dealer will also have to have the can in hand to start your form 4.
After all is said and done, you may only save a few bucks and introduce a bunch of hassle.

250 for a transfer!?!
At that point you may as well become an SOT and do it all yourself.

$250 to keep track of and be responsible for an item that sits in the back room pending transfer for over a year?!
