BearCat Dave Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I would like to determine what the approximate value of an item is before I post it in the forum for sale. I am a SASS member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cholla Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Keep in mind you can't ship powder or primers unless you have a hazmat certification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 If I want to know several prices, I look in Gun Broker for CLOSED transactions, and then compare the condition of the item sold on GB with the item I would try to sell. Firearms prices end up being a LOT about the condition of the gun. Poor condition means gun will bring a smaller price. Do not be fooled into looking at the asking prices on most items - bids rarely get to the seller's asking price. If you are going to do a lot of items, probably faster to borrow this from a big library, or even buy one: Blue Book of Gun Values, 44th edition https://bluebookofgunvalues.com/shop/44th-edition-blue-book-of-gun-values Realize that most gun tuning work done on cowboy guns will not have any value if selling to a non-cowboy shooter, and will even decrease the value if sold to a collector (either amateur or "pro"). However, work done by a "well respected" cowboy gunsmith will be worth a lot on a sale through our Classifieds. good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Duncan Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 50% to 75% of original purchase price if it isn’t junk or a true collector’s item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I am going to sell a pair of Uberti Schofields. Only thing I find on Gun Broker are new ones. The current new price is almost triple what I paid for mine new, $1,050 to $1,250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to look at sold auctions same make, model, caliber, barrel length, and finish. Narrow that down to similar condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
