I have sold and bought several here and on Gunbroker. Lots of fees there. Most I have shipped have cost me about $75 to $100 as I ship via my FFL and they have a fee as well. Not all FFL's will accept a firearm from an individual (yes it is legal to do so) I always ship in a hard case unless I have the original box. You will get tire kickers and questions. Good descriptions and pictures make or break a deal. Be prepared to send high resolution pictures via email and or text. I'll get the AK guys mad but it costs more to ship to AK or HI. I would suggest selling a few here and see how it goes. This is not however generally the place to sell a high priced item. A gun priced fair will sell. Saying all that, prices are down right now, at least in my area.

auction house's take way to much % for selling Most of the good ones 20% unless you have a big collection of high $ guns you can make a deal and get that down a little. GB the best place to sell a firearm. Everybody in the world can see it and all it takes is 2 people that want it and you can sell guns for stupid prices sometime. Campfire is a good place to buy guns but not the best place to sell them

Guy's, thanks again for all your help and input. Dad never owned a safe so his firearms are squirreled away who knows where in his house.
Will most likely get short list together second week of May.
I am busy this time of year with gardens, and orchard.
Thanks to all you
@ssholes aside this is great site with some great folks.

Guy's. again thank, you for your input.
This is a fluid situation with my dad, he has on set of dementia and some days are better than others. Since, the original post we have been on a roller coaster of issues and emotions. At this time we have much bigger things to deal with than the sale of a firearms collection and our foucus now is on his and our mental well being.
Thank you
Mike

Don't worry about the guns right now. Get all the time you can with your Dad while he still knows you. My mother had that too and didn't know us kids for the last 6 months. It was terrible to visit her in the nursing home. Something I would wish on no one. Take care

Best wishes, Mike.
As others have said, enjoy any quality time you might have left, and make sure to take a break whenever possible.
Regards.
