If it were my collection, I would talk to a few auction houses such as Julia, Amoskeag, Redding and the like, getting details on selling fees to receive the maximum return for all the work that was put in over the 50 years of collecting, but not on this site. Selling any of your guns here limits them only to members which you probably know many on a first name, or nickname, basis so you will probably feel obligated to give a 3 day return policy. You want to place them in an environment, whether the whole collection or part of it at a time, to reach as many eyes as possible with no connection at all between seller and buyer. You want to make money, not friends, as the saying goes. With an auction house they won't be coming back for any reason, which I believe is your goal. Just my 2 cents.
