Len, do you think that maybe taking the guns to NH and leaving them on consignment with a NH FFL would be a good idea? No LTC or FID required, so a potentially larger customer base. Also, no sales tax so that widow would at least see more cash in her purse.
This request is from a good friend who lost his good friend. He's not on NES and asked me for recommendations and I don't know any reputable dealers in that area.
The widow wants to dispose of the guns by selling them to a dealer and my friend wants to make sure that she isn't screwed in the process by an unscrupulous dealer.
He hasn't seen the guns and the wake is tomorrow and he expects to be asked for recommendations this week. The deceased was a hunter so a few hunting guns are expected, unsure if there are any handguns or other non-hunting guns at this point.
I did suggest that after finding a reputable Cape Cod/South Coast area dealer, that putting them on consignment might be best financially.
Please either reply here or via PM, but only if you know someone who won't try to screw the widow out of money by low-balling any offers.
Thanks.
