Unless your area is really hard hit with the economic downturn, I would contact local auctioneers with a good reputation that promote well, to get the best deal on their commission rates.
Here in central Ks, I am always amazed at prices realized on guns sold at auctions. They always bring much more than book in my area.
When the time comes, any guns I have not promised to family will definitely go with a local auction with no reservations.
