I have a neighbor that is trying to decide how or where to sell a collection of firearms, Family inheritance.There are approx 50 long guns/shotguns and 20-30 handguns. Not sure if they would want to hassle with individual sale??Thoughts?
Cabelas will only give 40%-50% on the dollar for the collection as I understand it depending on the collection. They then sell them at the markup for what you see in their sales turning the other 50%-60% in the store.
Why don't you pick out a couple that you want and then offer to sell the rest individually for payment? If there is an older Browning Bar in there let me know. I have been eyeballing the gun stores for a nice older one to pop up.
I'm pretty flush on firearms right now.

If there's no chance of the group wanting to sell individually (which would guarantee the best sales results), all of you would be better off just breaking the lot up into thirds, quarters, or whatever the case may be, and dealing with those lots as you see fit. A single lump sale is going to result in a hit no matter who you sell to, or how you cut it. Someone in your group may owe it to the departed to seek a fair value. If it were me, I'd take your portion of the lot and start here. What do you estimate the entire lot's value to be?
