Gun Listings

I am going to be listing a few rifles and shotguns for a friend of mine on here. The first one is going to be a Remington 300 magnum that he bought for elk hunting and never used. Couple of old shotguns that are very nice. I will let you all know when I list them. Taking pictures this weekend. The rifle is almost NIB and is going cheap. He just wants to clean out his gun collection because he is getting older and doesn't shoot much anymore. I think I am going to start them at a penny start, but he is weary of that and wants to start them at a fixed price. I will talk him into a penny start and a buy it now price. Oakie

Good luck pal.....with the friend....and the fixed price...
He is a really great guy. Retired law enforcement academy instructor for snipers and cadets. Best shot I ever seen. [;)] Very personable. He said he doesn't want much for the guns, just as long as they go to someone that will enjoy them. The older shotguns were his fathers. I think they are fox and some other famous brand. He said they are just collecting dust[:D]
what kind and name brand of shotguns ?
We could only find a name I never heard of, Vulcan. It is a 16 gauge side by side. He also has an old British enfield rifle he is going to sell. I will have all the info in the next two days. Oakie
let us know
I agree the volume dealers can chance loosing on a couple and make up on another .
I would start at the least your willing to take and if no sale then maybe drop down to a low start .next time around
the market (buyers) the majority of time will push the gun to a fair price ,
so it is a tuff decision for a individual to sell one or two at a penny start and chance it. especially selling someone else's guns if I loose my own money vs loosing someone else's and explaining I am sorry [:(]
