Probably worth it to your friend to buy The Blue Book of Gun Values, 2012 version.

Way too many variables to price fairly.

If you have a well known gunsmith in the area, I would take them there. Usually they can give you a pretty good idea.

[magnumhunt]

That was my friends next step, but just wanted to see if anyone had anything in mind.

What Lawdwaz said...

Even then, the Blue Book is just a general guide. Many times getting a decent price just involves finding a buyer who happens to WANT what you are selling.

Conditon and date of manufacture is very important, especially several of the firearms listed are collectible.

For instance a late manufacture Model 94 that has been altered from it's original condition or beat to hell might be worth only a couple hundred bucks, but if it is a pre-1964 in excellent unaltered condition, it might be worth ten times that much.

I agree. Same with the Savage 99.It could be worth $300 or it could be worth over $1000. Depends on the year, condition, caliber .....

I would start with the blue book

[Pygmy]

Yeah, Ants...The US 1917 is another good example..I Bought one a few years ago that had been sporterized ( not real well, either) but it was a functional 30-06...Bought it for $100, felt lucky to sell it for $125...

However, if it had been an unaltered, as issued, Remington or Eddystone in good condition, it would have been worth several hundred dollars.

In that case I'd probably still HAVE it..LOL..

[magnumhunt]

Haha ok thanks guy, I will be buying the book.

[Lawdwaz]

The handful of gunsmith's I've dealt with wouldn't be a good source for pricing info. anyway, IMO. They seem to be cut from the same cloth as a taxidermist. <grin> Odd ducks..............<grin>

Whatever you do, don't tame them to Gander Mountain for a trade in..............<no grin>

<grin>

Another point, the internet is an amazing source (only obviously) of valuable information. Guns International, Gun Broker and Guns America are great web sites that are chocked full of good material.

Asking price and selling price are two hugely (Billy Fuccillo like) different numbers but you should be able to get enough info. to be dangerous!!

[bubba]

with more information it would be easier. I am a self taught guy on the savage model 99 since I cut teeth on the barrel of one of them. There are so many different factors that will help determine the value of them.

Side note bubba...I only owned one 99, it was a 1950 model in 300 Savage. I Still kick myself in the A$$ for selling it. It was in great condition.
