Not on a bet. Their fees on BOTH buyer and seller are ridiculous.
You might want to check the Burley Auction Gallery in New Braunfels. 830-629-9280. They have good penetration in the collectors/militaria community, and get some prime prices on good guns.

A man of vision but with no mission.
I would love to own a Garand but my wallet says No way for the cost especially a nice one..
If it's not all smoke and mirrors, the gun smith at Barnwood Arms in Ripon Kali is a Garand collector and would/could/has bought collections. As an individual he'd scarf them all up but maybe not the turds if there's too many. PAX

Just 10 according to the Police and FBI.
He's trying to off them all at once, might be crazy but I don't think you can get around 4473 via an auction house or single buyer purchase. Can an 03 buy a hunnerd guns from an estate with only log entries. Bunch of ducats, seems like the tax man would have his hand out. PAX
Yes a sufficiently funded private collector could purchase the entire collection provided all the firearms are within the Curio and Relic definition. The tax ramifications are tied to the current interpretations of the 1099 rules and associated. On that, one must deal with an actual tax professional.
If an 03 holder bought the collection with the intent of picking out say the best ten and moving the rest on to other collectors with no intent of profiting that is also with the historical use of the C&R FFL.
If I wanted to start a Garand collection and wanted to incur the wife wrath for the parking of funds this could be a way to do it in one fell swoop. If the safes were included it sounds almost turn key. Well assuming one can move safes. I have a pickup truck, trailer, & a refrigerator dolly.
My access to strong backs has decreased.
I have heard and read that they (RIA) are good to deal with.
There is or was one in MAINE that had a great reputation all across the nation. I will see if I can find a link to that one. The old family died off or it was sold to someone who had worked there for a very long time.
There are several top name auction houses in a couple of other states that have been honest and reliable that I remember reading about from the late 90's and on.
I will see if my husband can think of some when he gets out of the shower.

ebay....just need to disassemble them and sell piecemeal.
Did you read this statement?
Disassemble 100 rifles and sell piece by piece. Are you kidding? PAX
