Default OT - Selling Guns

My dad's health is failing him and he has a lot of difficulty walking with a
walker, he needs surgery but the doctors don't think he'd survive because of
his problems with blood clots... *It's likely he will be unable to walk in
the not so distant future.

Anyway, due to his loss of income and disability, he's wanting me to try to
help sell some of his guns for him and naturally he'd like to get the best
price he can for them. *Dad was a hunter an liked hunting trips but never
did much sport shooting. *Most of his guns got sighted in and then only
fired at the hunt to verify scope after transportation and then shot at
game.

He has 4 of the America Remembers series Winchester lever action engraved
24K gold that have never been fired and not been handled much other than to
look at them a couple of times. *He bought these around 1994-1996 to the
best of his memory, he has the certificates of authenticity. *Some of the
guns are a limited edition series of 300 others are a limited edition series
of 500. *He said he paid a couple thousand a piece for these back in the
day.

I'm not 100% sure but I think these are the rifles he has, will verify
later.

One Browning A-Bolt synthetic stock stainless steel 338 Winchester Magnum
with scope. *Only shot enough to sight it in and go on an Alaskan bear hunt.
Asking $900 or make offer.

One H&R Mouser action 30-06, he used this on a moose hunt in Nova Scotia.
Asking $600 or make offer.

One CVA muzzle loader, stainless or nickel? with scope, taken deer hunting
locally and only shot maybe a dozen times. *Asking $300

One Benelli slug gun used for Illinois deer hunting, I think it's a pump
12Ga., Synthetic all black, asking $600.

If anyone here is interested I'll give get more detail, just got this put on
me tonight and I have to get ready for bed to get up and go to work in the
morning. *Right now I don't have the models of them and such. *As I get time
I'll get pictures, model numbers, and scope details, etc..

What is the best way to sell these guns and get a fair/good price for them?

Good luck with your father.

It sucks to get old with its failing health.
