What would it be worth?

[CamoCustom]

Hello, its me again, Dan. Thank you all for helping me ID this shotgun:

http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=483092

The Franchi 48al, it was made in 1965 though. I would say 98-99%, Looks to be unfired.

But my question is this: What or where would I begin to sell this shotgun? I was thinking that somebody else would get better use out of it. I will not be hunting with it, from what I have learned this is what it best suits. So i would much rather it go to somebody that really needs it. I would like to do so and get a new semi-auto pistol, or maybe even a different shotgun.

Any help would be appreciated again.

Besides various forum sites that allow sales, try Gunbroker.com, gunsinternational.com, gunsamerica.com, and auctionarms.com - they are typically the 4 biggest as far as traffic goes

I didnt know if maybe there is a listing on a "rough" value in some kind of a book somewhere....I know nothing about FFL and what not and sales of firearms.

There are blue books for guns... I don't have any though...

I would check gunbroker or auction arms and see what others are selling for...

 

[oneounceload]

Don't see what others are SELLING for, look at the closed auctions and see what they ACTUALLY sold for.

Those places seem to ask more than actual, but you can get a close enough guesstimate

there is a way to search through closed auctions?

 

[EOC_Jason]

If you are registered you can view ended auctions on gunbroker. Either do a search and at the top of the listings there is a drop-down to choose "completed auctions". Also available on the "smart search" page.

sweet.....yes I am a user of gunbroker, I like that site the best out of all of them, easiest to view and search.

I bought a Black Magic Model Franchi 48 for $400 recently. The plain model will sell for $350 and up in the condition you refer to. I don't pay gunbroker's prices. Go to ShotGunWorld.com and post it in their classifieds. No charge. I have several of these guns and love them. A SGW member recently tried to sell me a Franchi 48 for $400 in 95% condition and I turned him down. I would offer $350 if I needed the gun. With the economy like it is, the prices are falling on all but brand new guns.
