[QUOTE="mouthpiece, post: 3569808, member: 1685"] What they said above is true. Pawn shops and gun stores give about 10-30% of the value. Seen it, experienced it. You'd do 2X better than that listing them here in the classifieds. Most gunshops that I know will not take consignment guns. I've tried. I don't know why. Bass Pro recently bought a 60 gun collection that I know of. I'm certain the seller got what she wanted seeing as she didn't know the value of anything. If it were me and based on my experiences, for 100 gun collection, I would get about 3 tables at a funshow and have at least 4 friends that can help you watch the tables for thieves. Borrow a Blue Book of gun values,(I just dropped off 2 older ones at Jerrys reloading if you want them) look up online closed/SOLD auctions(-10-20%), and your experience with market demand and sell yourself. Right now is a great time to sell most types of guns. Good luck and if you have questions in particular just ask. My opinion, ask each buyer if they are legal and not prohibited to buy and own firearms, no out of state sales unless they go through a dealer. I want to see an Okla DL or CCW for a ftf transaction. BE CAREFUL, the alfabet Rats are trying to bust gun sellers for illegal sales. I've experienced it Myself. [/QUOTE]
