Steve Anderson Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Anybody have any experience with selling a house that has a gun nut room? I'm wondering how much to sanitize the place to not offend or scare buyers... Planning on the cover for the press (thanks Brian) and moving the bullets and powder to the garage. Safe looks fine, gun mags will be in the closet. Good enough? SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 When I looked at selling my home, the realtor said to loose all the deer heads and antlers, put the shooting accessories in the closet and keep the vault closed. That was in Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSeevers Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 You had to do that in Houston!!! Steve I guess here in Ohio we need to sell the gun stuff or leave it at the relatives. Plant various liberal magazines and books through the house. Stratigically place NOW and NEA stickers at various places in your house. When prospects come over wear your PETA t-shirt and lament about how you could only grow so many fresh asparagus in the yard to feed your vegetarian family. Can I stop now? Sorry my house went on the market yesterday also. Where are those blankets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chriss Grube Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Gotta teach the kid to load ammo sometime, might as well learn young! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassy knoll Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 when we were looking at buying houses last time, we looked at one that backed on to a pistol range, when I told the realtor about the range he didn't think he could get anybody to buy it, i guess some people don't see easy access to the range as a selling feature (go figure) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 I had to chuckle... I have gobs of gun photographs (I do product photography) mounted, framed and scattered all over the living room... along with the NRA certificates, a supportive personal protection quote (also framed) from the Dalai Lama himself, stacks of gun periodicals, and a dry-fire target propped up on bookcase shelf... along with the photo portrait of me (also framed) doing an admin reload of my Sig. The heck with anyone who doesn't like it. No one's said anything weird yet. They're all definitely conversation pieces. My reloader-person came by one day last month (his first visit here) and said, "...You ought to get yourself a boy-friend. He'd love it in here!" Am working on it. At least I don't have to worry about trying to sell this apartment. My entire apartment is the 'gun nut room'.

3quartertime Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 I have a friend with a fire resistant gun vault built into his basement. The door came from a bank safe. Imagine trying to explain that during the open house!!! " Post your pic, you may get some proposals here " Being one of the very, very privledged few to see that picture my guess is the amount of proposals would be the problem!!!

BrianH Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 This is off-topic, but it reminded me.... Of a place I used to work in Portland; when the big-wigs from Japan and China came touring through, and went into the machine shop, took a peek in the grinding room, and the shop supervisor had his M-16's and stuff spread out on a bench back there..... The company was closed up about 6 months after that....not sure why..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
