    If you can spare the money, it sounds like a winner. If you don't like everything in the package, sell about half of it, make a profit, and still have about half of the guns.

    I dont know i think youd make a good profit if you were patient enough. Id think itd be hard to sell tke mak the mosin and the taurus quickly, but youll get what you want out of em if you wait it out. the remington would probably sell. And you got a little money in ammo. If you have the cash to spare i say write the check

    Easily over $1000 in guns.

    When I'm doing gun deals I try to shy away from accessories and even ammo (unless bulk, sealed new production, or collectible) because you seldom get a good return on those items. When you get a box or two of an obscure caliber it's likely you'll either shoot it - and then be out of ammo - or sell it right along with the gun. Count only the firearms themselves and you'll be in good shape. I know ammo isn't cheap but a couple boxes of "who knows where it came from" shouldn't sway your investment. Same goes with that whiz bang accessory or holster that your next buyer may or may not like. Everyone has a "parts bin" of items they've taken off or got in trade and didn't like. And who doesn't own at least one case with broken latches?

    As Dave said, this one looks like a winner. You could keep a few, sell a few, donate the parts + accessories and you'll still come out ahead.

    The g2 is supposed to be better than the others. They're cheap little pocket guns. Nothing spectacular though people seem to like them and they're priced right. Personally, I'd sell that one as soon as I got it. I'm not a .40 guy and it's not a gun I'd carry nor is it fun to shoot at the range. Plus, it'd be an easy sell and help you recoup $225 immediately. Carry it around the show for $250, sell it to the first homeboy that aks to coonfinger it.

    Is it a forbidden word? or just not enough weapons in this small lot

    Every time some knucklehead does something stupid with a gun and they find out he has more than one gun in his home, the media refers to it as an arsenal. To most of us, an arsenal looks more like that scene in The Matrix where they are choosing which weapons to take.

    If those guns aren't a rusted lump of neglect, I'd think it's a good investment.

    I don't have anything in any of those calibers. I would be spending way more than $750 buying ammo lol.

    I would jump on it too and sell the Taurus because I'm not a .40 fan.

    The Mosin being an M44 Carbine should sell pretty quick, demand is higher on Carbine mosins than the 91/30.
    Makarovs are somewhat popular too.

    If you were to buy to resell you'd need an FFL...but hypothetically if you bought them and decided you really didn't want them and just happened to sell for what they're actually worth....:whistle:


    Good deal it sounds to me.

    Its not illegal to make a profit selling guns. It is illegal to make your living selling guns without a FFL. I don't think he's gonna buy a new house with the proceeds.
