Good advice from Bill Wise-------that was his forte. There are auction houses that specialize in higher end guns, but they will set you back at least 25% counting buyer's and seller's premiums. If you are uncomfortable setting prices, maybe that's the way to go. Dealers will need to buy and mark up the goods. If you have the energy, then maybe private listings , like here, are the way to go. I don't think it's the same answer for everyone. What is the Krider ? Bill was INDEED a very special man....and I was indeed fortunate to communicate directly with him back in 2002....and was dismayed to learn of his passing. It was only a few years after our initial contact that I learned of his "challenges" and his stature only grew in my eyes! Regarding the Krider, this is the info that I have: Krider ~ Double barrel side by side rifle-shotgun combination sporting gun by Krider. This high quality combination gun is made by one of the finest American arms makers of the period.The gun is finished in the English manner with steel patchbox and very good quality hunting sights. Shown on the gun is: "J. Krider Phila"

Anyone know which DGJ issue contains the piece on the E Grade Fox? Pretty sad, but I don't even know....although I actually have it somewhere. The article was by the FOX EXPERT that use to live in Maryland but later moved to the west coast....washington state?....sorry that I can't remember his name either....but I KNOW that he frequents this board!!

If I were so fortunate to be in your position I would pay to have all the measurements and specifications verified by a recognized authority, including a condition report and appraisal.
..... enlist a reputable third party professional whose name can be used in the description, you eliminate a lot of the trepidation buyers have about cyber transactons. Suggestions??

I would suggest looking at the supporters of this site. I would write them a letter, listing the guns, and asking of their interest in handling the sale.
I would also ask their fee and negotiate from there.
The fact that this is a collection, much can be gained by the agent or house in advertising that. Generates great interest.
Hope that this is helpful.
Best,

His name is David Noreen aka 'Researcher'. THANK YOU!! When he discoverd that I actually had the Fox, he wasted no time in getting to me to see it for himself....as the article mentions, up until then its existance was only a rumor and he seemed absolutely delighted to be spending time with it!!.....although he was polite enough to view the others in the collection, as I recall, the only others that even peeked his interest were the two drillings....and then he was focused on the "how'd they do that" factor!! :o)

I have always found Jaqua's in Findlay Ohio to be absolutely fair and honest with consignment guns. They appear to have a list of people to call when English guns come in.

VACollector, If you enjoy the human interface of selling high quality firearms then selling directly to the market through internet could prove to be very rewarding. Also there are a few trustworthy, knowledgeable and likeable gents - some of which frequent this board - who would prove to be a real and significant asset to ascertaining value, marketing and negotiating excellent financial return through the sale of the guns some of them even have the time and perhaps the inclination to do so. Sounds like you have a most impressive collection if you have the time I suspect that you could almost select the market and appropriate opportunity to sell each gun to the right person.
All the Best, Slate
