So around a grand for the 62.
What about the 73? $1000-$1500
Remington? $500
243? $500

Would these be top dollar prices for these? Or what I should expect?
Yeah more or less...

Best way for U to sell em is for U to put them up on Gunbroker..you don't need an FFl for the 73 or the Remington..they are pre 1898 and are antiques ..the BATF doesn't even consider them to be firearms...the 62 can be listed without an FFL BUT HAS TO BE sent to a C&R FFL holder as it is more than 50 years old or to an FFL via Fed Ex to stay legal. CA has special requirements, there no matter what the 62 has to be sent to a FFl.

Here is why...you put a begining price on the spoon for what you think it is worth..if you make a mistake on the low side...the buyers will take care of that for you through their bidding on the item. things do seem to find their level...

No reserve, no buy it now, just you price..and ifit doesn't sell after say 6 weeks you drop it a bit..until you find the level where it will be bid upon. It doesn't cost anymore to keep relisting the item after the initial listing cost.
