The best way to get the maximum return on your guns is to sell them yourself.Take good photos,write an accurate description,price them reasonably,and put them on the internet. It is perfectly legal as long as you ship to an FFL on the buyers end.A pain and a hassle,but you will get more for your guns and no waiting for checks or returning of unsold guns.The market is so tight now that there is no room for the middlemen anymore.

More than one. I'm in the process of putting my guns in a trust with instructions on how to dispose of them and an approximate value at the time the trust is implemented. My first choices are respected dealers who will work on a consignment basis, the next is an auction and it is stipulated that under no circumstances will Julia's be considered.

I don't know why the double-barrel market would ever go down. Did no one listen?

I have incorporated disposition of all my firearms in my will. My grandson will get my grandfather's/Father's 16 Parker and a nice 20 Parker. The rest of my Parkers and other guns are going to a number of close friends that I shoot and hunt with. And I'm at peace with this.

Sorry Kirk, dispositions are final and firm. You're a day late and dollar short as they say. LOL

There is an honest gun dealer in Wagum N C, Phillip Futrell at MidSouth Guns. I would give him a call if it was me. He buys collections and all my dealings with him have been good. JMHO

Second what David said - I dealt with Phillip for many years and was never dissatisfied, including resolution of a tense snafu involving a gun that turned out to be stolen (Phillip nor the person he bought it from before selling it to me had anything to do with that, of course). P.S. - He is in Wagram NC.

I've always had great dealings with Jaqua's in Findlay ,OH.
