The auction house will be here this afternoon to pick them up.

I'm hoping the sale goes well. There are some gems in the lot of them

Looks like a nice collection! Yet, I suspect you saved the best for last, if at all. 😉

I was planning on using Rock Island, but they are two years out for auctions unless you have unique stuff. Morphy's and Amoskeag are scheduling guns for next fall. I decided to go with Richmond Auctions out of South Carolina.

They were supposed to pick the guns up yesterday. I got the contract and read it carefully. You don't get a reserve price. They have near-infinite ability to bill you for pickup, photos, research, and destruction costs. All of which they said was covered as inclusive with the percentage taken from the hammer price.

I let my wife read the contract, and we decided to call a local LGS. He agreed to take the whole lot of the guns as consignment for a flat 15% off the sale price. That transaction took the rest of the evening.

In the end, I feel much better about doing that than going through an auction house.

I made the same post you saw other places and was inundated with... I hope it works out better for you than it did for me. I listed 12,000, 15k, 30k, and got 3k, 9k, 12k in sales.

Here is the link to the local FFL.

What is on the table photos wise, is roughly 20k to 24k

Good plan, but to Coach's question, why are you selling/sold them?

Oh i thought he asked where. I responded pre-coffee. I am doing the STI drivetrain and transmission swap on our WRX. That will allow me to bring in the torque my setup can do at a lower rpm. Probably somewhere around 50 lbt at the lower end and around 100 lb-ft at the midrange, and maybe as much as 150 llbft at peak.

That is phase 1, the guns I've already sold. These guns will fund the 1000bhp closed deck longblock swap. The stock open deck is limited to about 400bhp and 450lbfr tq. My setup is gtg up to 500 on 93 pump and well into the 500s on E85 before I need larger injectors or port fueling.

The goal is 425 to 450 awhp and 450 to 500 awtq on 93, and a e85 tune above 500/500
