I think everything has been covered previously. No matter what you do, at least get a good idea of the worth of what you have before doing anything. A good way to do that is by checking the prices of similar items actually realized at the various gun auction sites, and maybe what some of the on-line dealers are asking, plus prices shown in the Blue Book and Standard Catalog. The absolute worst way is to sell them to a gun shop (they will offer a pittance), and the firearms auction houses normally charge a stiff seller's commission. After you get a reasonable idea of market value, then you can do what seems best for you - either list them here, or on one of the online auction sites. If you use the latter, do not list them at an out-of-sight starting bid. Keep it on the low side and let the bidders tell you what the price should be.
