He had a hands on look at it and said todays market has a lot more investors looking for tangable assets after the long run with the stock market. he said confidently that he feels it can sell for 60 to 80 thousand. sure there are some factors like a 25% commission or fifty % to just out right buy it. I understand the numbers but you are the buyers.

I don’t mean to be negative or argumentative . But nine times out of ten you take a gun like this to some local yokel gunshop and they don’t have a clue . Then they go to the BlueBook and spout some numbers . And I’m not knocking it they’re doing the best they can . But what that BlueBook says a good percentage of the time the market won’t meet . And no I have no intrest in acquiring your gun for a good bit less than 50k , but then again you don’t know me so why would you even think I’d tell you the truth . When people come in my friends shop and they bring guns back to me for appraisal I ask is it for tax purposes or sale they are NOT one and the same . But by all means go by what you were told , put it up for auction and see what you get . I wish you luck !
