Hey, stop calling my eyes old!Just a reminder.
Paragraphs please. Old eyes have a really hard time reading huge blocks of texts.
In my experience of selling on GB, this is good advice PROVIDED you have the time and inclination to do it. Selling 50 or a hundred guns (I have no idea how many guns the OP needs to liquidate) on GB would be a seriously time-consuming exercise. Of course you can slap a coupe of photos up and get some bids if the price is right, and those bids might match what a LGS or estate house would actually give you, but I've never done it that way. I am a believer in posting good photos and several of them, which takes TIME to get right and post. I do it this way because I like to get a good (high) price for my guns, but not everyone does it this way.Simple put it on Gunbroker
Call these guys. They will come to you. They have buyers.

My exit strategy, an auction.
I keep a detailed record of these possessions. Don't forget to include the optics. Separate the optics from the various NUGs, you will realize more $$.
True, I am not going to be an any shape to deal with this much detail work, even theOP, get one thing straight. You can't do it all by yourself. you need help from friends.
i dont think they expect it to comes with the scope but seing the scope with the rifle...they will definitrly ask for a package deal. its best to sell scope and rifle seperately.
Any auctioneer can do it with no paperwork as long as only one person owns all the guns.
Hard to consider this as an option just weeks ago but health reasons force me to realize that
[ you can't take it with you ], is a reality we all face & our rifles made in 1918 have outlived more
that just us or me.
I have a large collection I have jokingly told my wife for years that she could sell for a good size
amount after I am gone.
I have tested the water a tiny bit & found that my wife would not have an easy time moving them
by herself so maybe I need to get it started or get her some -reliable- connections.
Probably blown any chance of trying to sell them here just by mentioning this so if anyone
has any experience with this or ideas please pass them along.
From past experience I don't think I can tell what type I have collected or stuff like that because
it would be considered getting advertisement for an upcoming -for sell item.
That statement would be incorrect. The buyer would be filling out a 4473 and paying his buyer's premium on top of the winning bid. You win a gun at a DU banquet and you're doing a 4473 form.I think this statement may need to go over to legal...........
To the OP,
In my recent experience it would appear that military surplus arms has a better market these days.
But that could just be where I am..?
