Best way to sell a few firearms from a private collection in 2020?

How many guns are we talking about? If there is a significant number, +20 or so, you my look into Durys. They are in Texas. They pay 70% of fair market value. Call them up. If they think it will work, they will send you a box/crate and you ship it to them at their cost. They send you payment after that.

If you have medium to high end collectables there are some Gun Broker consignment sellers that do a good job for 15%. Gunnerbucksdad, Bryant Ridge, Sarah15 are some that come to Louisville's NGD to pick up consignments. A lot to be said for someone else handling the hassles and these sites all have a good following.

Classifieds here a solid choice, but I've got to get more active to qualify...working on that. Beyond that, if you have the time to take GOOD pictures and describe your guns well, you will likely do ridiculously well on Gunbroker, even after the fees. I listed three $200 home defense shotguns recently and got $550-600 each. Mailed them all over the country...from New Jersey to California (which is a pain).

Echo what's already been said.
My first would probably be a LGS consignment; I have a good relationship with a shop that does this. My stuff always sells within a week for about what I wanted.

If you don't have that, then use the classifieds here.

INGO classifieds... mic drop.

Bobby hasn't been back. Maybe he decided to keep them.

Use the INGO Classifieds.
Besides selling your stuff, you get the extra of meeting some good people.

My dad is looking to reduce the size of his collection and I have a few things reloading related I wouldn't mind selling off. What is best way to go about doing this in 2020? Is it better to go to a local dealer and see what they will offer up or is it better to set up a table at a local gun show and sell that way? I sold stuff at a local farmers market for fifteen years so I am familiar with becoming a vendor and setting up tables. What are some things to consider with setting up a table with Central Indiana Gun Shows and selling as a private seller? What are some things to NOT do? Thanks for any input you can offer!

are any of them named after a snake?

I'm here. I just haven't checked the thread for a few days because I was busy working. Still planning to sell them but not in a huge hurry. Thanks for the input, everyone! I appreciate it.
