A little late to the party, but considering it is a family gun I would operate from around the $6000 range. Sure you are probably leaving a little money on the table, but unless Uncle Frank has an unlimited bank account there is no real reason to bend him over the table on price. Unless there is a drastic need for the funds that is. When it comes to family it isn't worth hard feelings over a small difference in price. Giving him a bit of a family discount. Also, is he buying the gun entirely or just buying out the rest of the family's interest in it. Because if it part of the estate, he could technically have a claim to part of the value of the gun.
