Two of my best (condition) guns that I purchased off the gun auction sites happened to be from an estate sale, where the person passed away. This makes sense since when most people need money, they tend to sell the guns they like least and keep their favorites. The only time you get the crown jewels of any collection is when someone dies, and their family members don't care for guns and sell them. At least, that's how the logic plays in my head.
So that being said, what is the best way to tap into these collections when they come up? What do most widows or family members do when they sell a gun collection? Put them up on Gunbroker? Or is there another place I should be perusing to find these?
If you were to pass away and you knew that your family wouldn't be keeping your guns, what would they do with them? Sell them to a LGS or somewhere else?
Yes this is a morbid subject, but somebody had to ask!
