I won a North American 5 shot 22 derringer & a Henry 243 single shot rifle, want to trade-in @ dealers for Ruger MK4 Hunter 22......what could I expect the fair trade value to be? Thanks guys!
Won 2 guns, fair price to trade-in to dealer?

Unless the guns you won are already on the dealer's shelf, they will be assessed as used, since they have been previously transferred. Where I worked, raffle guns that were already in our inventory (not yet transferred) would typically be "taken in" at cost - 10%, against asking price of current inventory or a special order. If these are already in your name, I would try to unload them at a gun show as unfired, at a price slightly lower than what they are tagged at the show from dealers.

The guns have NOT been transfered to me yet, if that makes a big difference!?!?

Yes, but you'll have to consider the shipping/transfer costs. You might be better off going through the dealer who has them currently since you haven't had them transferred to you yet.

Generally, most dealers run about 60%-70% trade in value. So, if a gun retails for $400, you would get $240-$280.

It absolutely does- if they had been transferred to you, a dealer could not sell them again as new, even if you never opened the box.

The Henry... pretty sought after but not hard to get. Should bring cost less 10%. The NAA not nearly as sought after and easy to get. Expect more value reduction because it will eat up some cost by sitting in inventory. I would venture a guess of about 400-450 between them.
Best bet is to find the best price on gunbroker, before shipping and transfer, and use that as your decision point. Caliber on the Henry will play a factor.

Heck, I'd be interested in the Henry, if the price is right. At the moment I have my eye on a Tikka in .243 but might pass on it for the Henry, again, if the price is right.
Drop me a PM if you're interested.

I bet they give you 150-175 maybe 200 max if your lucky
If they've not been transferred then ask the dealer/store currently handling them what he'll give you for them if you get the gun you want from him. Expect wholesale or that minus 10%.

You were spot on-dealer gave me $475 for the 2 guns-traded for a Ruger MK4 Hunter @ $630 so just paid difference-good deal I thought!!

I know that the two gun dealers that supply a lot of the raffles in our area will give you the cost price against the cost of the firearm you want. As long as you're buying something a little more costly.
