How would one go about this and get a fair price for all of it?

I’m 59 years old now and some times have a hard time holding my Coffe cup? I’m a far cry from the 23 year old Marine corporal I once was so if the apocalypse happens I’m not going into the bunker but walk toward the light of it and meet my savior.

It’s not a grandiose collection but maybe twenty or thirty weapons and a few thousand rounds of ammo for it all.

Plus diabetes is diminishing my eye sight.

Just time to come to terms is all and any advice would help.

I’ll work on that it’s in a few places and not all in one spot.

Yes to the last poster I’ve thought about that as well and it’s a solid idea.

I use to take collections on consignment if it wasn't something I wanted to buy outright. Depending on what it was and how much work I needed to put into the sale it was 10-25%. Lower dollar hard to move guns just needed a higher margin than nice guns that were easy to move.

If you have lower end stuff. It’s gone downhill the last 7-8 years. Not as much traffic with quality buyers.

Brother you are 59, not 89.

I’d offload one or two here and there rather than divesting whole hog. Your post sounds pretty down, especially for an old Marine. Hang in there dude go out and bang some of that ammo away.

Posting pics/specs here wouldn't hurt.

No commission or 3rd party to worry about. I'm sure several of us have generic bill of sales we could provide you with
