Selling

Selling your firearms on consignment with French Broad River Auctions is the best choice one can make when selling firearm or guns and collections. Submit your firearm consignment inquiry using this link.

When submitting an online request, be sure to include:

Clear photographs. Smart phone photos work perfectly. Include identifying marks, details and damage. Try to photograph your property in an uncluttered setting.

Include information about the object’s provenance and authenticity: artist or maker, medium or material, object dimensions, identifying marks, country of origin and number of items in a set. Purchase receipts, previous written appraisals or other information about how you acquired the object can be very helpful in determining an accurate auction estimate.

The better your information, the more accurate our estimate!

French Broad River attracts buyers from all over the world. Customers value our reputation for honesty and service. We provide free, nonbinding estimates of how much your item might bring at auction. We welcome the opportunity to represent you.

We accept auction consignments for all types of military, modern and antique firearms, including rifles, shotguns, flintlocks, black powder, revolvers and pistols. Whether you’re selling a single firearm or a large gun collection. Consigning your firearms with us ensures your valuable guns reach the buyer willing to pay at a good price. And when it comes to selling any item, a seller is always looking to receive the highest price possible.

Once the firearm information is received, our representatives will evaluate and value the guns you are interested in selling. During the evaluation process, you may be contacted for additional information. Following the evaluation, our representatives will be in touch (typically first by email) to discuss the sale of your firearm(s) or firearm collection. It is our focus to ensure you receive the best value possible when selling your firearms, and to this, there are different options available to create a successful sales solution to best meet your specific situation and needs.

Consigning firearms to sell at auction is very easy. One of our representatives will either schedule to come to you and facilitate the acquisition (pick up), schedule a drop off time and location or in the case of a few guns – you simply package and ship them to our gallery by a traceable service, such as FedEx or UPS. You are also always welcome to deliver your firearm auction consignment directly to our gallery.

There’s no cost in contacting us for an evaluation. Submit your firearm sale inquiry this link.
