Why are they not selling over there? It's been my experience that guns that don't sell on GB are usually overpriced. If they're guns that people don't want, then they're not going do any better at auction.

That's an even better deal. I'd like your FFL's details if you don't mind sharing.

I know what they are worth but most will not pay that. The last M2HB that I saw sell went for 26k,
now there are ones on there that aren't selling for half that. I'd rather sell the whole lot as a package.
Give me a solid price and take them all, that's what I'd like to do. Ammo too.

Consign them to an auction house like Alderfer (Local) or Rock Island (large, national presence).

That is geared towards a very specific person. I'm guessing the people who have the money and want one probably already have one. And the ones who don't have one yet are going to pay GB prices. Unfortunately, in most cases, GB dictates market price. Why pay what you think it costs when I can get for a lot less on GB?

Check with Marines55, I think he buys lots.

A friend recommended alderfer. Would it be wise or better to sell at auction in one lot or by the piece?

Definitely by the piece. You could have your own estate auction.

What Walleye said. You're still getting rid of everything at one shot but also maximizing the pool of people who can participate. More dollars overall
