Need Some Advice

I shipped a very nice custom rifle that I sold on-line via UPs ground. It was insured for the full amount, but it arrived at its destination with the stock literally split in half. What do I have to do now?

I need to get rid of at least two of the following. What would you recommend selling? What should I keep?
Marlin 336 30-30 w/ Redfield scope, made in 1975, 95%
Russian SKS, made '49 to '52, receiver cover does not match, 95%
Norinco SKS Paratrooper, Factory 26, 98%, all matching
Got to pay for the new M4 and used Ruger GP100 I just bought. Thanks.
Me personally I probably could not afford the whole group but might be interested in some.
I sent you an e-mail in reference to this.
A person may want an individual firearm, and be willing to pay premium price for it. Not willing to put out the funds to buy all the ones he doesn't want.
The number of people in the world wanting to buy one firearm is large.
A half-dozen 700's,(unless the classic series) generic calibers, a couple 550's,wct...worth more by the singles.
itemize the bits and pieces photograph & list them on Fleabay but
if the object is to maximize income ,that's what needs to be done.
Small parts for collectible Remingtons can be valuable.
I have been off this forum for awhile[sometimes life gets complicated and busy]. Jumping back in because I need some advice from experienced GB sellers. I have a friend who is haveing some health issues, and may need to part with his firearm collection. I don't remember exactly how many he has, but about 15 or so collectable Remingtons. I said I would help him sell on GB if he wants. He would really like to sell the entire collection together. My question is; do you think he could get a better price selling as a group, or seperatly? Thanks for your input.
I concur that individually will bring more money.
Pictures! Lots and lots of cropped pictures showing the gun! (we don't need to see the dining room table over and over) Buying online is sometimes a crapshoot but if you include pictures of every feature from different angles, bidders are more likely to feel comfortable knowing what they're getting.
The timing can also make a difference. It is my feeling that ending auctions in the evening on a weekend is the best way to ensure that your bidders will have a chance to be online at the close. I don't have any solid data to back this up, it's just an opinion based on observation.
