Collection opinions
I have been asked to liquidate a collection for a friend. His grandfather passed away recently and left his collection to my buddies dad who just wants to let them go. Thought I'd post here and ask yall's opinions on the stuff he has.

Basically, what we have in the picture above is as follows in no particular order:
1) Mossburg 835 Ulti-Mag 12ga pump. 24" AccuMag Choke barrel and 24" rifled bore barrel
2) Remington 870 Express Magnum 12ga pump 28" and 21" barrels
3)Remington 870 Express .410 pump 25" barrel
4) Winchester 1200 12ga Semi-Auto 29" barrel
5) Riverside Arms Single Shot 12ga 30" barrel
5) Remington 550-1 .22 (Short, Long, Long Rifle) with a Weaver C6 Optic mounted with a Weaver 22 Tip-off mount
6) InterArms .22 ATD LR Has a slot in the stock for loading
7) Remington GameMaster 760 30-06 Springfield pump
8) H&R model 732 .32 revolver
9) Navy Arms Company Ridgefield NJ - Italy percussion cap revolver. Octagonal barrel black powder revolver (This appears to be a reproduction)
10) Thompson Center Arms .50cal Thunder Hawk Shadow Black Powder rifle
(says it also uses pyrodex which I have no idea what that is)
11) 1888 Mauser Sporter It's difficult to define this, as it was a "project" gun and since the owner has passed away, little info is available.
Anyway, just wondering if anyone has opinions on these and perhaps some real world values.

I hear ya but I would like to see the guns go to people who will actually use them ! Age is unimportant to me, well - I'd like to think I'd drop my price a wee bit for two cases:
1. Young lads first gun - It's always a special occasion.
2. Old gents last hunt - also a special event.
Was reading Thomas Merton last night, he said the city hasn't changed since the time of the Desert Fathers (4th Century) every man for himself. Charity is a virtue I've read about but rarely see in practice.
Kinda like "Mother Nature," given half a chance, she will
Ya ! (I would normally say every single time but I just saw a "special needs" child who got lost in the woods of Maine and was found 12 miles from house OK by game wardens on TV. Always an exception to the rule.)
