I said "Im sure people will give you offers" This is holy different then an auction
Is it? I thought that is what an auction is?

That'd be interesting, hire an FFL to do onsite work for a day or whatever.. maybe a stand alone auction?OP, have you considered an estate sale?
Not even close. An auction is a bidding warIs it? I thought that is what an auction is?

I guess I don't mind posting 5 or 10 at a time but I almost need someone to look at the list and say "sell these ones first", and then these ones. etc. There are a bunch of old Colt pistols and a large amount of revolvers that I simply know nothing about. Things like Mod 19-2 or 19-4 don't mean anything to me. This would have been easy if dad just collected Glocks and 1911s.
And what is happening when you receive a multiple offers on the same firearm? A bidding war.
That is why you list a gun with a price tag is in the forum rules.
If listed here, he'd have to provide a solid price.
If he goes to Gunbroker or Gunsamerica, he can have them sold as an auction.
My father passed away about a year and a half ago and left behind a large-ish collection of firearms (150 or so). My brother and I have inventoried and secured the guns and I think we want to keep a few but certainly not all of them. I started to do some research on pricing them out and selling them off but it's overwhelming. I'm not familiar enough with many of them to even coming close to figuring out what the values should be and even if I was it's going to take forever to sell that many in WA with the way our person to person transfers work now. What do people do in this situation? Take to a FFL? Just power through it and hope for the best? Looking for suggestions. Thanks.
Some good ideas on here. We are for sure going to keep some of them but the vast majority will be sold. I guess I can pick a few, research them, and then try to sell and see how that goes. At least that way I can see how time consuming the process might be.
If someone offers you a price and you say "yes "or "no" how is that a bidding war. Your assuming he will do something. This is the same logic of the "thought police" enforcing laws that do not make sense.And what is happening when you receive a multiple offers on the same firearm? A bidding war.
