Generally highly desireable guns do best with a penny start no reserve auction that runs two weeks and ends on a Sunday night. You can get some idiots in to some real bidding wars.

If these are run of the mill firearms that you can find at any gunshop I might start the auction a little short of what you would truelly take for them or maybe start a little low and offer a "buy now" price at a reasonable sell it quick price.

The market is a little soft right now though so be aware of that.
Great point on timing the auction end (which means the auction start) to a time when potential buyers will be online, awake and feeling competitive. Don't list things in the middle of the night, or have them end at 7PM on a Friday or Saturday when people are busy. Ending on a Sunday afternoon or early evening is ideal, but late morning weekdays can work as well.

Good luck with your sales th3w01f!
