Julia sold 4 tommies two months ago. Price varied big time (40K, 35K, 26K, and 23K), BP included. If these 27 tommies could all go 35K, 40K, that's great. If one goes at 23K, that actually a loss (assume it came at 22K), 1K is not enough to cover commission. 26K is probably a break-even... Just general feeling: Earn this money is not easy, not only need to pour capital in and bear future uncertainty risk, also takes lots of effort to move guns around. They mentioned that the pile includes rare COLT 1921 and 1927, those probably can sell high in future.
On the other side, those $221 pistols... selling $350 should be easy, or $375, $400... lots of people could afford it. No risk. From dealer point of view, this pile of pistols should be better choice. Another benefit of these -- dealer could sell them on gunbroker.com to avoid high commission fee from auction houses.
