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

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'll "third" what David and Kevin said. I have dealt with Philip on many occasions and he is a straight shooter and very honest guy.

Telling my heirs or "trust guys" to send my guns to a dealer to sell on consignment may result in a can of worms. The most prolific dealers in high end guns are full to the gills and may take months or years to liquidate a collection. Better to sell at to a dealer at 60% than wait years to get your money. Remember, you're dead and your heirs don't have time to argue with a gun dealer over prices of individual guns. Phillip may be getting back into collector guns soon, and may be a good choice.

I wish to second what Mr Allen said. If you wish to sell your guns, do it yourself. He suggested the internet, I used friends, both personal and dealer. In the past year I sold 5 guns, 4 Parkers and one refinished antique double rifle. The Parkers were described by my dealer friend as very nice conditioned honest guns. None were high grade. I received $27,000 with no commisions, shipping fees or FFL charges. A number of years ago I used Julias to sell a pre 64 model 70 supergrade in 250 3000, a consecutive pair of black box Colt Buntlines and a Winchester pre war tournament grade model 21. I lost money on all 3 item. I would never use an auction house. I dare say on the guns I recently sold, I would have been lucky to clear $15,000 had I used an auction house,

Bill I'm sure you could have done better esp with that M70 SG what a rifle I have a std in 250-3000 and a bunch of other 70's including a SG in 220 Swift to sell but no auctions The mkt is somewhat soft right now and they don't eat anything so I'll just wait and see.
