Brad HinnHow to sell a Game Room?
How to sell a Game Room?
I have a family friend who would like to sell the contents of her late husbands game room. He passed several years ago and she is trying to downsize. It is all north American game and has a Grand Slam of Sheep, a few Mule Deer Mounts, Three Bear Skin Rugs, a full mount Mountain Lion, a Full Mount Bobcat and misc others. Where would I go to sell a collection like this? Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, I had a hard time figuring out where to post a question like this.

The Artistry of WildlifeFirst off if your in California forget sellng the bears and cougar. As far as I know and have read the rules of our state it is illegal to sell them in CA. Call a local taxidermist and then the state wildlife offices before you do something that you shouldn't.

opus72Maybe donate to a museum... Not sure if there would be some sort of tax deuction for that.
Just a thought, but maybe she needs to raise cash.

dogcatThere are outfits that will buy everything for a price or auction it for you. You may need to transport out of California to do so.
Also, do not have high expectations for the the prices you hope to get. The sheep sell well only if near or better than B&C size.
Donate and take a sizeable tax deduction is worth checking out.
