Need Gun Values... Fast

[Moosetrot]

Folks-I may be walking into a deal on a number of guns. I need to get some current private seller values...FAST....on the list of guns below. I've done some checking on Gunbroker,etc. but would like some advice from you folks on what you think I may be able to sell these for if I can put together enough to buy several of these if not the whole pile.

I really appreciate your help on this. I am not of the financial means to make any mistakes, but I think I might be able to get these at very good prices.

Thanks! Moosetrot

Go to gunbroker and search each gun under advanced/completed items. that will give you a resonable idea of what like guns have actually sold for recently. The values you get there must be used with caution. Certain guns tend to "trend" in value and can have large swings over several months. The trend I speak of is not limited to AR's and the like it also applies to recently discontinued and hard to get firearms. Examples of this would be 17HH,17fb's,17REM. The trends are also not specific only to caliber another example would be Rem LVSF's and VSSF's as they have been recently disc. and have sales $$$ swings as high as 100%.

The Blue Book of gun values is helpful but is mostly on the low side...It's a pretty good buying guide but most people that know what they have know it is on the low side also.

In short If you can buy at the book price and sell at the GunBroker price you will do OK. Be careful of individual opinions as they can be unintentionally biased and geographic.
