LAID OFF

[wild_weasel]

I was recently laid off and find it necessary to sell off the better part of my surplus collection to keep afloat. I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to go about this. I have an Inland M1 Carbine, No4Mk1 Enfield, No1Mk3 Wire Wrapped Enfield, M96/38 Swedish Mauser, to name a few, and tons of original accessories.

Make a thread in the private sales section. If you don't know what things are worth try searching for similar items and comparing prices.

just make sure you write your location so we know where you are. i found it better to have it by your iTrader.

What did you do for work? Maybe someone here can help you get another job instead of selling your collection. There are a lot of employers that post to this site.

Don't sell a package - Sell them off one by one you'll get more for them - You can try and sell the accessories with the individual guns or sell them seperately for more - A guy might need a sling or something -

Good luck to you -

sorry to hear you lost your job. hope something comes along quick

If your ok with it, post your skill set/what you do and maybe someone here might know a opening some where

Since these are C&R guns over 50 years old, are they cash and carry for private party transfers? Would it be worth while to take any to the upcoming show at the OC Far Grounds?

welcome to the club...

[wild_weasel]

Once I get my head sorted out I'll figure out pricing and post in the "FOR SALE" board. Not having a job really sucks!

[Darklyte27]

I ended up doing many things without work. sell things I dont need anymore, clean the house, ride my bike more, shoot my gunz, do things I wanted to do.

No matter how many jobs i applied for it wasnt going anywhere. Even retail jobs are on a hiring freeze.

Tried posting a resume to the Jobs board yet? We do have one now... just be careful to observe PERSEC and post a redacted version. You don't want your address out there, and name/phone number may be sketchy too.

If they are C&R - Then cash and carry is on -

Did the company offer an employment counselor? Those outfits help with resume writing, interview techniques and sometimes job placements. Otherwise, hook up with a Temp Agency that specialized in your field. Also, try to find a Headhunter to "pimp" you out.

Using a employment search group is tax deductible.

Head on over to dice.com and post your resume. Bar none, best online job resource for techies. The recruiters troll that site like mad. Be sure to be verbose with your skill-set as the recruiters use boolean searches for specific keywords.
