Have some Enfield to sell.

[OneFreeTexan]

Years ago at one of the nearby gun shows, there was this one guy who always had three Enfield for sale,, always priced pretty high,,,He just like to chat and show his guns....Went by once he had only two, said someone actually paid his price...I noticed he had raised his prices.

we have a small gun show,,,,15 tables or so,,about ten mins away,,,nice venue,,,friends have tables there,, I am thinking about taking a few of my Enfield there and see if I can sell them...I know I need to do some research , but they are C&R, and I think a local face to face, cash transaction will be legal..

Appreciate any opinions.

Even junky ones are going for $350 and up. I have a long branch in thinking of selling myself.

I've seen the same old guys at shows, there great to talk to.

The market for milsurps right now is really, really, really hot. I got outbid by unreasonable amounts I could hardly believe on the last two auctions I tried to snag something on Gunbroker. I'd say if you've got Enfields to sell, and you want to sell, now is the right time to sell. I saw a very nice No. 4 Mk I at a local gun shop for $950.

Depends on what you have. Some are worth more than others, but everything is going for higher prices than ever before.

Amen to THAT! The Rock Island Auction Co. just sold a lot of six of my milsurps for double the estimated bid, which I thought was too high to begin with!!!

I guess I missed where the OP stated the Enfields are rifles.

Quite right. Generally assumed by milsurp collectors to refer only to Lee-Enfield rifles, I guess. Not a type I know all that much about. I have one, but it's not my main squeeze. If the OP comes back to the thread, maybe some clarification would be welcomed.

When I hear Enfield my mind quickly runs to one of these, mostly because I want one. I would think this Enfield would quality as milsurp too.

As long as you perform your due diligence and ask if they're prohibited or not (I always ask for a carry permit card) then you should be ok. Remember that a bunch of people are going to be handling your Enfields and you need to wipe them down frequently in case one of those people has corrosive skin oil/sweat. Take a buddy to sit the table with you so you're not trapped (and so you can go to the bathroom occasionally). Make sure you ask much more than you think is reasonable so you don't sell out too soon.

Yes, you're correct, and thanks for posting. Saved me from having to research that. Couldn't remember what the revolver was. Thought there was one, but googling just "enfield" brings up a lot of non-relevant hits.

So-o-o-o ... sorta like hearing hoofbeats and thinking that zebras are approaching.
