Someone said -- start with the value of the gun as if it was not a "mistake" gun -- so the same gun in terms of gauge, barrel length, grade, configuration, etc. then add on a premium for it's uniqueness and rarity.

You have to start somewhere -- if not the blue book, where? Gun sales sites only list the asking price and, as we all know that is not the same as the actual selling price.

If not the Blue Book, where does one go to determine a fair price?
