In good light, preferably sunlight, carefully inspect each firearm and write down each and every thing you see written on them. We are looking particularly for a Manufacturer name and a Model number. You should also find a serial number for a modern gun, (DO NOT post that serial number on the web).
If you come back here with that info and a good description of each, we can tell you what you have and what you should expect in value.
Pictures would be ideal. You can email me.
Most gun dealers are good people, however realize that they are in business to sell new guns and accessories, service them and to buy used guns cheap and sell them for a profit. Do not expect anywhere near full value from a dealer.
Just the other day a dealer I know bragged "this lady came in with a M1A1 in the box the other day and thought it was a M1 carbine so I gave her $450 for it."
That gun was worth about $1800 or more. It's your job to make knowledgeable decisions.

first you need to find out what kind of guns they are(make, model, caliber, age, any history, round count)
second you'll need to find out what accessories come with the gun(mags, parts, gear)
lastly you can take this information to roughly estimate your asking price.
having this knowledge about your guns will make easier for you to describe them. much better than "One looks like a "cowboy" gun - it's chrome - It's beautiful! Both are big guns (heavy)"

E-Mail me with Make, Model, Caliber and I may be able to help you*...Do not sell them to a gun shop or sporting goods store or pawn shop because they will not treat you fairly and take advantage of you in regards to the true value of them*..

Contact a dealer and ask them to sell them on consignment.
Have then check the blue book value.

Find a local gun dealer. You will make out better that way.
