Default Antique Guns Dealer in the area?

We just had six antique guns shipped to us from a family member up North. We had them shipped to a licensed dealer in Leesburg and he gave us an estimate of about $22000 but said that no one in the area could afford to buy them.

Does anyone know of any reputable antique gun dealers in the Orlando or Tampa area or any reputable online site?

We are not gun people and know nothing about guns, antique or otherwise. They just aren't of interest to us and we have no desire to keep them.

Thanks for any help.

I can't really help you, but IMO that dealer gave you bad advice. The Villages median household income is over $90,000. He either is discounting villagers or he is trying to steal the guns. In this day and age there is no such thing as having to sell anything just in your local market. Antique guns are sold online for big big bucks.

There are a couple of gun clubs here in The Villages, check with one of the rec centers or the Thursday Rec paper for their information, they maybe able to assist you.
