Need someone to appraise firearms in Austin area
Posted: Mon Jul 12, 2021 11:00 am
My wife’s brother in law died unexpectedly about a week ago, and my wife’s sister needs someone to provide estimated values for each of the firearms in his inventory. His holdings include handguns, rifles, and shotguns acquired over the years. He was not a collector, as such; he just liked guns. I don’t know exactly how many he had. At one time he had about 65, but he has sold some recently to thin the herd. (I think he and his wife had a “if you sell two, you can buy one” understanding in recent years.)
I’ve offered to assist her in the process, initially by locating the right folks to help. Ideally, we would like someone who would undertake the valuation project on an hourly basis, and we would probably prefer someone who does not have conflict of interest. The valuations will be used to determine which (if any) firearms to keep, how to divide among any interested family members, and to make sure that fair prices are received when sold or offered for consignment.
I am seeking recommendations for the someone to value the firearms in the Austin area. IF this is something with which you have experience, don’t hesitate to recommend yourself.
Thanks in advance.
