Hello,
I don't know very much at all about guns but I am trying to help my uncle sell his considerable collection of firearms -- rifles and pistols -- which he said was worth close to $20,000. He has three "Sharps" rifles, one with an antique scope, that he said are worth several thousand dollars each. He also has a large collection of handguns.
My uncle is older and his doctor has told him that he can no longer lift anything over ten pounds. That means most of the rifles have to go. He has a number of medical problems and I told him I would find out how to sell his guns. He is not internet savvy and doesn't have access to a computer but I am trying to get a friend of his to take digital pictures of the guns so that I can post them somewhere for sale.
My question is, what is the best way to go about doing this? I am also wondering if I should try to sell the whole collection as a lot. Can I do that online somewhere? He lives in a small town in Texas. The nearest town of any size is Wichita Falls, Texas. I live in Korea (I'm an English teacher) so I am doing this all long-distance.
Thanks much for any advice on this.
