How to have a gun/garage sale.

[uncle Alan]

Sale Saturday for 2 & 1/2 hours. Sold an Ivor-Johnson 7 shot .22Mag & a Hungarian 9mm Walther & made $179.00 on them. I learned to empty the guns & distance the clips & loose ammo. Another thing I learned was to give one clip or charge so if I buy that caliber again ,I won't have to buy more ammo.

Going to gun show the 6th & 7th to pick up more items to sell & some tracer ammo.


I love Florida gun laws!

Kinda brings a tear, eh ?

Private party sales in most areas do not require any paperwork. A clip for a Hungarian walther copy is not apt to work in new pistol you buy so, they generally don't carry any value unless they are rare and a magazine dealer will buy them. Private party sales of an old or used pistol magazine is pretty hard and generally is not worth the effort it takes.

We still have a box of 45 Colt ammo that was ~50 years old when I was in high school that came with a bad revolver my father found somewhere during his travels. A box of oxidized ammo would have had more value if my father had shot it up long ago. Now what do we do with it? I guess we can see if it will still fire if we ever buy a solid pistol in that caliber.
