I thought this might make some of you laugh. It certainly made me chuckle.
There is a guy locally who advertises "Best prices offered for guns and gun collections". Supposedly gets a lot of business from elderly widows and estate sales. I'm in the process of selling a fair amount of my collection to fund an upcoming home purchase, and I decided to load all 80+ firearms into my truck and drive them to his house (he works completely out of his house) so he can see if he was interested. I made up a spreadsheet of my collection with some details, and here is what he returned to me, marked with his offers. The blue numbers are his offers, red numbers are his friends' offers.
Now this guy wouldn't stop telling me how generous he is to the widows, how everyone always goes straight to him after talking to all the other shops, When he buys from private collections he gives 80% of retail, just enough to get by, etc..etc...
I'm curious as to what you think of these numbers. Descriptions of condition are purposefully conservative, they are all for the most part in very nice shape. Sorry for the chopped up page, i had to consolidate four pages of spreadsheets into one.
