Two weeks ago, I sold two firearms to the =City of Baltimore in a similar deal.
One was a cheap .380 I bought new for $110. It was irreparably broken. The other was a 16 gauge Champion (JC Penney) brand shotgun I got at a garage sale for $35.
The City paid me $300 for them. Most of the people selling their guns were older folks with either late husband guns or rusty junk. Several, like me planned to use the windfall to buy more guns.
In my case, I invested in lead futures.
