Okay, this is what you need to be carefull of. A guy could come in and offer you what wll sound like alot of money for the whole package. Then turn around and sell them one by one and make a killing.
A gun store may do the same even if you try to get them to sell on consignment. They could themself "fake" purchases and buy them off you only to resell at a large profit. You need to do some research on your own. You can run the serial numbers for the age and get model numbers off the firearms. Then order this online for $30

You can look at each one and get an idea of the condition etc. 90% 95% 100%

Then find a gunstore and ask them to sell on Gunbroker.com start each auction at 25% less than the value you come up with. Have them relist the ones that don't sell at a slightly lower reserve or auction start. Be carefull, ALOT of guys take advantage of the uneducated gun sellers.
