I still like Gene Hill's method best...
He leaves the house with a (empty) battered old gun case telling his wife he's going to take it to a good buddy who knows more about these relics and find out if it's worth anything.
He returns with the new gun in the case and says his buddy told him it's worthless and he ought to scrap it someday.
