Duck Decoys
I am looking for someone to appraise traps, decoys, and guns. I am near St. Louis, MO.?
Many of the traps are antiques...very rare...mouse traps, fly traps, some with teeth. Also, there is assorted trapping paraphernalia--old block stamps used for advertising, paper (ie postcards, brochures), stretchers, trap tags, etc. There are about 20 guns that I need appraised as well...only one is a handgun. Old Duck & Goose decoys too.
Please don’t be offended by what I will say.
But watch out , some of what you listed could be quite valuable as in old traps and decoys.
Old gun, the decoys and traps may sell higher then your old guns.
The price on such items will be at best only a guess.
It’s what the market will bare, and some times that exceeds appraisal value.
I would advise you look at similar items on the on line auctions like E-bay and Gunbroker for a price comparisons.
I buy a lot from these places and see many items go crazy high on final sell price.
Stop to consider you reach a larger amount of potential buyers and collectors world wide that will pay a high price if it’s what they are looking for.
The key to success on the online auctions sites is list it in as many categories as possible.
Like lets say you have a vintage book on trapping, I would list it in Trapping, books, vintage/collectables.
And do make sure you spell it right, for some of my best deals on e-bay is when it is miss spelled for I am one who checks on such possibilities.
Or the improper listing of such items rare hard to find books in just the Book category and expect top price, I have many in my book shelf I got in mint condition I got for cents on the dollar just because they were not listed right, and you can even set a reserve price so as not to sell it unless it reaches or exceeds that price a nice insurance policy if to say the least.
Just trying to offer friendly advise.
Hope I was of some help.
