Any good looking females? Being a single, broken down, old geezer myself, I might be interested.If you're not independently wealthy, you can sell one by one to fund things you need or desire. If money doesn’t change your life, consider sending something special to a place like the Cody museum of firearms.
If you need kids, I have 5 that I'm willing to sell. Two of them are cheap this month.
There are a couple things that are open to you. This comes up pretty regular in the collectors forums I visit.
The first plan, and my plan is, I will keep it. You don't pay taxes on it like you would for a hot rod or sports car, they eat nothing sitting in the safe.
With this, as I will likely go before the wife you need to have something with what they are and what they are worth. Really worth. With collectors type things this is easy, find a gun that is close in condition as yours is (you do need to be honest here) and have a database or excel sheet with all that info. For me, I have a database with everything in it, photos SN#'s if applicable I have several of the same thing. On old 22's that don't have a SN# I usually put some form of tag under the butt plate or a hang tag saying this one is #4 or something. This way they will know the difference between this Marlin 60 and that Marlin 60. I have where I bought it, when I bought it, what I paid for it, quite a few photos, and a price the thing is worth. I usually use closed auctions for the costs. This sounds like a lot of work, and it is, but it is also fun. If you have quite a few you don't have to do it all at once.
Second and really the most easy is just take them to a retail seller. You will not get top $$ for them, but it is the most easy.
Lastly you can sell them one by one yourself, this takes the most work, but it will also give you the greatest return.
For me I plan on keeping them and enjoying them. Actually I think my wife would be pissed as all hell if I sold any of them, and she thinks the .gov is going to come for them inside of 5 years.
