The way I have always gone about giving someone a price on a firearm, whether one is being bought or sold, is to use the Blue Book of Gun Values. This is a widely known reliable source for firearms of any type. From antiques to the more modern firearms of today, this service has almost everything you are looking for. The Blue Book of Gun Values also makes finding your exact make and model pretty easy. Just type in who makes it and subcategories pop up (Pistol, Revolver, Rifle) for that manufacturer. Once you have narrowed this down and found the make and model of the firearm, this service will show you every variation of that firearm and how much it is worth in todays market based on things like the current or last listed MSRP and by checking out the sales history of the firearm. If the demand for a particular firearm has dropped in recent years, then you can expect the price of the firearm to drop as well. If the quality of the firearms finishes or function is poor than this too can diminish the firearms value and The Blue Book of Gun Values will help you determine the worth of the firearm accordingly. Finally, this service usually lists any factory altercations to the firearm that may add or subtract value such as the manufactures specialty grips or the optic that came with the firearm.
