How much is it worth

I have a Savage Model 10 Predator in snow camo. It is in 22-.250 caliber and has the factory 4-12x40 matching scope on it. After breaking in the barrel i have only hunted with it twice it is in excellent shap and has 60 rounds through it. What do you think it is worth?
 
No one has answered, so I'll get the ball rolling. If you sell it to a gun dealer or a pawn shop, drop your drawers and get out the vasaline, its gonna hurt a bit. 60% of the new price is about all you'll get from them. If you sell it to a friend or individual, you'll come out better. Probably on the low end, I would be guessing, around $500.00, maybe more, and I could be way off either way. Also depends if your buying it or selling it.
I have a motto I always stick to when trading and selling guns, "Buy High and Sell Cheep", its always worked for me. I very seldom come out ahead and feel lucky if I break even. Most of the time I lose a little. Figure it was what it cost me to play.
 
Always a difficult question because it depends on where you are, how you're selling it, and how bad you want to sell.

Around here, the popular deer calibers are in demand and people who don't know the price of a comparable gun are often willing to pay stupid prices. Varmint rifles like the .22-250, however, aren't as sought after so they don't hold value in the same way.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but new, I think that gun probably went for the $650 range.

As always, I can only say what I think it would sell for around here. YMMV, it's worth exactly what one person is willing to pay. It just depends on how long you're willing to wait to find that one. . .

IMO, you have to be realistic because regardless of how many rounds have gone through it, it's still a used gun. I think $450 would be a realistic price. No harm in starting at $500 and maybe you find someone right away who's been looking at new and then $500 is a deal. But if you want to sell, I'd be prepared to come down a little.

You can watch the online sites, but word of warning. You have to watch what comparable guns SELL for and NOT what they're listed for. The online sites like Gun Broker and GunsAmerica have become almost useless for buyers because they are clogged with chancers trying to achieve ridiculous prices in hopes that they'll be the seller who catches the sucker. You need to watch until you find guns that actually sell so you can see the real price the market is willing to pay.

They are right about $400 to a dealer and $500 to an individual at a gun show etc. Post it on a forum or get it sold on gunbroker and you should get $550 to $650. I just saw one used sale for $680 shipped, so if you can wait you can get money for it. If you sell it local most are going to buy to resale it so they cant give you top dollar. If I couldnt get $500 then I would keep it.
 
I ordered this gun from Savage new with a snow camo matching 4-12x40 bushnell trophy so it was like a 200 dollar option
i paid 820 new for it
