These have been laying around for a while. Crate of hex's with usual accessories. Ugly PW Arms billboard import stamp. Only 2 or 3 have ever been fondled. Opinions needed on value as crated - I am not going to go through them !!
I would say you have about 5000.00 dollars worth of rifles there if you sold them one at a time.To me there are worth less by the case full.I mean I assume you got them cheaper by buying them buy the case,right.I think if you priced the whole case for 4 grand someone would drive to your house to get them.
On the bottom row, near the back of those hex Mosins, there wouldn't happen to be a lone hex that has an upper hand guard with copper end caps and rivets?
The fact that it's a crate does not add value. In fact, people want crates because they expect a price cut due to the quantity.
So your choices are this.. either sell to a store(and get hosed, and knowing what a haggler you are Rick, that's never going to happen lol) or sell them one at a time yourself for max value.
Then there could be the issue of buying them with a C&R with the intention of selling them one at a time. Hypothetically because I realize you didn't mention C&R nor selling anything.
Pull them out and find out what you got...then you might get a bit more than $250 per rifle. No reason not to.
Since crate buying of Mosins never caught on and few will ever buy a crate, you can hold the hope a crate buyer pops up or sell them individually.
C&R Lic holders have parameters and volume selling of 20 rifles can be a flag to an ATF agent. There is a fine line that once crossed labels you as using a C&R for FFL purposes. Everytime one renews his C&R, they want to know how many rifles you sold ..
milprileb - just renewed my C&R and no questions about how many guns I've sold (I bought a lot more than sold) - what makes you say that "they" want to know that at the time of renewal?
Just curious as I am considering buying the crate ..
You should really find out what you got first.. You can't just glance them down and say "it's a crate of mosins" because there might be something odd in there, you never know.
The billboard does suck though.. Fortunately, these are being imported once again and are a bit cheaper than just a few months ago
Nothing like the mass importation of the old days though...
