Determining an accurate price for a used rifle?

[Jpsmith1]

What resources are everyone using?

I'm offloading a rifle locally here and I'm apparently WAY high on my ask or I've got extreme lowballers

Gunbroker is a good resource. You can browse current for sale and sold guns to get a good idea. You can also get an offer from cash for guns to give a solid start point.

Go to your nearest gun shop that takes trade ins and see what they will offer you on trade. Add 20%-25% for their margin and that should give you a close used market price.

Extreme lowballers exist for everything, but if nobody makes a close offer, you're way too high

So, my ask of 550 driven largely by browsing Gunbroker IS high but a counter of 350 is a hair low.

I appreciate the feedback and the link. I've got a couple that are going to be finding new homes here soon.

I also have a gun show right down the road coming this weekend. Might take a walk through there and see what is going for what. Be worth the entry fees.

just a heads up, upend of the price spectrum would generally be for those with the original wood stock

SKS rifles are interesting - I see some for $600 at Cabelas, must be something special for collectors, not that long ago $300 bought a shooter in pretty good shape, and when they were first becoming popular in the 1990’s big 5 was selling them for $99.97.

If someone wants a shooter they may like your stock, but for collectors there are too many with all original parts. I have no idea what shooter- quality rifles are going for today.
