I have a CMP M1 Garand (Springfield) and 327 rounds in Garand clips that hasn't been to a range in years.
How would you go about selling it so that both the buyer and the seller get a good deal?
I've seen some selling on Gunbroker.com that were graded and even had a chamber gauge in the photos.
I don't have any tools or knowledge on grading a Garand.
Any thoughts?
How would you sell a M1 Garand and ammo

Re: How would you sell a M1 Garand and ammo
Go to the CMP Garand sales site, and use their descriptions of each grade to grade yours. That is unless you know what grade the CMP originally sold it as. Better yet, sign up to the CMP M1 Garand Forum and ask there. You'll get numerous helpful answers.tomneal wrote:I have a CMP M1 Garand (Springfield) and 327 rounds in Garand clips that hasn't been to a range in years.

Just sell it to me for 10% more than you paid for it

I like these ideas.
I don't know why I didn't go to the CMP pages for an answer.
As to 10% more,
Can we include my 1996 billing rate for the hours I spent researching, shooting a High Power Match, doing paper work and prints?
