I frequent Bob's. To appraise a firearm they will want to See it in person. They won't do it over the phone. However, employees have regularly said you'll never get even half its new value selling it. They recommend, as do many, that you put it in consignment where you choose the price and they take a fixed percentage for selling it. If you need to sell it ASAP but want to be safe and do it the right way, find someone online, bring them to Bob's, and Bob's will do a background check on them for $30 or $40. This will get you the most money.
I think that's a statement not a question.
Okay and...? What's the question?
