Ok J75, I have to ask how this all goes. My "that seems a little weird" sense goes off when I think of a guy standing on the sidewalk in front of a gun buyback asking to buy guns. I'm not picking on you. I just want to know how you make the approach and sale in case I want to try it some time.

first, for a normal, gun loving person, seeing people buying outside of a buyback just makes sense.
here is an aftermath photo from a buyback in another state. some sucker got $100 for several rifles in that pic that
are worth $700+. in addition those peices of history are going to be destroyed, gone forever. that should anger you.
and second, buy and large, people are very very....stupid. these events pull out several people trying to
dump grandpa's bringback rifle from WWII or (like another example yesterday) a break action revolver police revolver
that was the duty weapon of her late police caption husband. complete with the original duty holster.
it was not saved
several guys tried, I think I could have talked her out of it if I had gotten there sooner....
I just set up across the street with a sign saying I would buy guns.
dress nice, talk professional.
remember, these are people who CAME there to get ride of their guns for basically nothing to begin with.
