Blue Book Values for Guns?

[the scot]

I've got two or three pistols that I'd like to sell in the next few months (to help finance the purchase of others.)

Is there a "blue book" of used gun prices so I can come up with fair asking prices? Are there any internet guides for used gun prices? As it is, I can only search the buy/sell/trade forums (which hasn't been very productive.)

Any help?

I'd recommend checking out GunBroker.com or AuctionArms.com and see what prices similar firearms are going for.

Yes there is a BlueBook of Firearms which comes out every year, but the auction sites are a pretty good idea of current market value.

And welcome to The High Road.

I second the auction sites for todays true market value. The Blue Book will always be behind due to the time it takes to publish and models or features desired change all the time. Don't forget to factor in your locality if you are selling on the local market.

The Blue Book is off, in many guns, in fact I am glad. Gunstores and pawn shops that use them, are a great way to buy, make a list on here, and we can tell you the price. Pictures are great, but at least tell us the condition. There is a great differance on retail and what a gunshop will give you, most will offer you a lot less than wholesale! That's when you dicker with them, and you can always walk out if they are way off. They are there to make money remember.......
