New Forum Idea - "Appraise My Gun"

[Tom Will]

For lack of better term, Disclamers like, This does not assume safety of the firearm, can't measure/be sure of barrel thickness, can't tell if on/off face, can't measure choke, is it factory installed or repaired, all effecting value considerably. This is not an in hand appraisal for resale value only an educated opinion from pictures posted. Things like that.
I like the idea, I think it would be a popular thread. I know I would read it- although I think I read every thread on here now

Maybe we should refer to it as a "Collective Opinion" of value?

[Bill Murphy]

Without measurements and documentation of originality, a $10,000 gun could be worth $2,000 as a parts gun. I think it would be a great idea on another forum, just for fun of course. Why don't we try it on the shotgunworld.com "Classic shotguns" subforum. Someone post a picture of a gun not for sale and invite appraisals and criticisms.
