VZ58 Gatling Gun Sale
« on: September 03, 2022, 12:14:01 PM »
Need to sell my gun collection.  I am in a legal battle with my ex over custody of our child, I was winning but recently suffered a huge setback, the GAL report came back in her severe favor.  Now she is moving to have me virtually scrubbed from his life, this after I have 65% of the available time for the past 11 months. 

I have a couple heavily modified vz58s I don't have to have worth 2-4k each and I also have my Gatling gun.  You can't sell home made guns so I'd brake it down into it's core components (3 vz58s and box of parts) with the idea that somebody buys the 3 vz58 and gets a box of extra parts.  And they can decide what they want to do at that point.  I have over 10k invested in the three sub-receivers and parts, plus 100's of hours. 

Your suggestions and ideas are welcome.

Thank you everyone, here are some pictures, I guess you have to click on the link and it takes you them.

Sorry to read of your troubles!  :(   Please post an ad in our "Classifieds Section" listing each item with a price for each.

By the way, the Vz2008 Bolt Carrier you tabbed for me was very nicely done and the Rifle works great with it.

Thank you and thank you.  This was never meant to be an ad, I was just asking for suggestions to how I might effectively unload them for not too huge of a loss.

Terribly sorry to hear about your troubles FM.

My best advice is to see if any guntubers, gunbloggers, or other folks of influence in the broad and general realm would do a vid of your gatling gun.  Get that PR and then sell it.  GarandThumb is up your way IIRC, maybe worth trying.   This is a one-of-kind item so unique and compelling content.  Maybe you could do a guest appearance...

Left field, but Terrance Popp, former SF/Green Beret, does some gun/preparedness stuff in addition to his main MGTOW bent (resulting from losing custody of his girls while on constant deployment in the GWOT), and he might be worth reaching out to if no one else responds.  I think he's on his emails to help dudes in crisis.

I personally cannot afford your setup in the multiple $Ks range right now.  If I could, I'd buy it...

But are you currently still offering all of your stickies services?  Please specify what's no longer offered.  If so, I'd gladly send some business your way once I review what's what.

Alternatively and less $, you can look into Armslist, Falfiles and AKfiles classifieds, Afcom classifieds, classifieds here, gunbroker, etc.

And I'd highly encourage you to get your setup into whatever compliance you think you need to sell -- may only require engraving your name and a serial number...  I'm far from an expert on home builds, but they can be sold once marked.

*And if you have all of your former customers contact info/email addresses, send them all note from your personal email that whatever stuff is for sale is available.  Might need to role out over a few days depending on your email client's sent limits, but worth trying too.  Don't recommend a service like mailchimp if you can avoid it for a one time contact.

Good ideas RSR.  Thank you.  Added link to photos.  I tried armslist months back and it appears to be broken.  Broken meaning in order to accurately browse the site you have to be a member.  Bad business model.  Reached out to GT via Facebook.  We shall see.

Yes, I agree on armslist, but there's still a fair contingent of folks that like to do FTF deals, and are on there.

ICYMI -- please advise on your current offerings.

But are you currently still offering all of your stickies services?  Please specify what's no longer offered.  If so, I'd gladly send some business your way once I review what's what.

Pics should all be in the link provided at the beginning of the thread.  Services, mostly I just tab carriers at this point.  Trigger jobs are a "blast", but in a good way obviously, but one of the more expensive things that can be done to your vz58.

It is not. If you wish to sell your items here, list them in the classifieds.
