How to Value/Sell Antique Firearms

[BigD]

I recently inherited a handfull of antique pistols, rifles, and power magazines. I'm having trouble determining what exactly I have and what venue is best to sell them through. I found one of the guns on gunbroker, but I'm not sure if items like this actually move there. Any suggestions?

They also have a T.V. show on one of the cable channels, don't remember which. I think the show is called "Sold."

Give them a look. If you search GunBroker, look for auction that have sold. Go advanced search, and search your criteria under closed auctions. You'll find what they actually sold for, and not just what someone is asking.

Easy / free route: Take several good photos and post them up here on INGO / other gun boards.

Not free / not so easy route: seek out a qualified appraiser and hire them to appraise the collection.
