Step 4: Determine the Book Value of firearm
After you have found your model, style, and condition, you can use the following chart to find the approximate value of your gun. The value is RETAIL, so if you are selling to a dealer, the value will be less. Think in terms of ranges instead of absolutes. And remember that this is a book value. Without a buyer that is willing to pay you a certain amount for your gun, this is a "theoretical value. " Marketing can often increase the value of your gun. Geographical areas also can influence the gun's value, as well as the time that you are willing to wait for a sale.
