IMO I've never found it to be a very accurate source. YRMV

I just check gunbroker and such and see what other similar guns are selling for. Free, easy, works.

I have several of them! But anymore they realy don't apply much, unless they are a true collector piece. Like mcantar18c pointed out gunbroker or guns america have a more realistic $$$$$. But I can look up the guns you want a $ on if you want. Just send me a PM.

I recommend this too. But log in and search completed auctions ... look at what the guns actually SOLD for, not what just someone's asking for them.

The same principle applies to guns as it does to cars.

check around gunbroker, armslist, auctionarms, etc.
The blue book will give you a general figure, but its always a good idea to see what people are paying for the product off paper.

I'll beat the dead horse a bit here too... this is what I do, and lately it's worked out good. But I did have a guy selling a gun in GJ for about $150 more than the same (a Sig P229), when I inquired if he'd take my offer and told him about the other he said "Buy from that guy then." Problem is, "that guy" was in TN and it would have almost evened out with shipping and FFL transfer... I kinda wish I could have said "Yours is a little over blue book value."

Thanks guys. I debating whether or not to sell my 1962 first year production Rem 700 (.243) or not, all orginal. My grandfather handed it down to my dad, and then to me. I would guess for it being that old it has NOT been shot a lot. We only used it for hunting once a year, it's not like we took it to the range and fired 50 rds all the time, in fact, it had been sitting for 23 years before I cleaned it up and took it out recently and it shot, well as a remington shoots pretty damn good.

There are not a lot of these (older models around) and the one's I find on gun broker are pretty new, so that's why I was inquring. Just not sure where to start. What i have found though says the originals are better than todays newer models. To each his own I suppose. The only thing I found online was a pretty broad rage of $400-$800. Obviously mint condition is the higher end, which it's not. Thanks for the feedback guys.
