What will you do with your guns when you die

I've thought about culling a few, but that's about as far as it got. A few years later, more showed up in the safe.
For those who sell no longer wanted guns, do you consign, sell privately, pawn, sell to LGS, sell online, or?
A local free paper is ok with gun listings, but I am loathe to have strangers come to the house.

i go straight to the LGS, and it's a done deal, sell out right.

i got tired of the cosign BS, who has the money, who cannot pass the background checks, who changes thier minds..

here i my thought on all that BS...


i "take a hit', selling to the LGS, (they pay 65% of current retail prices) but it's quick, and cash in hand.......
 
I really don’t care, but I hope the heirs realize my G & A might become a valuable commodity soon enough as the 2A is being challenged in every aspect, but at some time with the “reeducation” of the coming generations this will be a non-issue for them.

Educating them to ensure heirs not to just give stuff away (or anything else) just to bring some fast cash from the LGS, but even at that I don’t have time now just to shop around for the best trade-in or sell outright value. I have a list of where my stuff is, how much was paid and what value that things may be worth now. They ultimately get the say but at least there’s a starting point and avoids getting taken by the unscrupulous.


Lots of stuff gets liquidated when one leave’s suddenly, sometimes there is time to sort the inventory, sometimes it’s in haste. Its never too late to categorize, label and organize your stuff no matter what it is, tools, vinyl, cars and all that matters….heck, even the dog. Nothing worse than knowing Pop had “one of these or those” and now nobody cant find it situation.

And then there are vultures circling within and outside. Had an in-law pass in an accident. An acquaintance came to the funeral visitation and approached the family with standard condolences and an offer to buy up the hobby inventory. Tactless, shameless and johnny-on-the-spot. Needless to say the family never contacted that individual.

I remember an old tale (urban legend) of a widow or divorcee selling off an “old Chevy in the garage “ for a few hundred bucks. Turned out to be a 50’s Corvette. Whether true or not isnt important but letting heirs know what you have is.
 
Way I figure it, they know me, they know I have had some nice stuff. If they want to take time to find out values smart people, if not and they just want to dump my stuff, good for whoever comes up with great deals.


What I have and what i like and means something to me I fully understand most likely means nothing to them and will possibly go in the dumpster..

Which is fine, I enjoyed it and am beyond caring st that point.
