Help with Values

[MrPeabody]

Hello Everyone!

I have some old shotguns and pistols that were my Dad's that I am going to sell. I don't think that they have significant value, but would like to know what there general value is to sell them. I am not able to find much on them and was wondering what you all would consider a good source to get this information?

Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions,

Mark

There's always the Blue Book, but you can always post images here for ID and values. If you're lucky you might get DM's from folks wanting to take them off of your hands.

I wasn't sure if that was acceptable within the terms of the Forum. If I can do that, you are correct. That will probably be best. Thank you!

If you have a Gunbroker account, you can look at completed auctions to see what various guns actually sold for. That's generally what I do to get a feel for the current market prices.

I do, and I am not finding any or many of these models.

You can post pics and ask questions.

Yeah, if they're obscure models, that could be a problem.

I have the Gun Digest 2022 Standard Catalog of Firearms. If we know what they are we can look them up. Obviously condition is everything and I have never had a book offer me cash, but it will tell you if you are getting 'took'.

J Stevens single shot shotguns are very common with no collector value and were designed as inexpensive utility grade weapons. No individual pricing is given. In shootable condition should be around 100.

Note: Most owners tend to increase the value of their gun by one category while buyers tend to decrease by one category. Somewhere in the middle is close to the actual...

why not keep 'em?

I would be interested in the H&R 410 for my grandson.

You can also go to Marksman Shooting sports in Westfield. He is very knowledgeable and will make a wholesale offer on any or all. That will give you a professional idea of condition but keep in mind he buys to sell so prices are not what you would expect to get if selling to the end buyer.

I have had the for 15 years, and just moved them from house to house. Don't shoot them and have no reason to keep them as I have my own....

 

[Gunaria]

Single shot H&R 410's seem to bring a little more these days. If the lock up is nice and tight it should bring $175.

 

[Mgderf]

Like Mongo said, none of what you have are much to collector's, but then again, each and every one is a classic.
Iver Johnson's were well known makers of a working man's pistol.

You should have no problem selling all of them.
Good luck.

They're in such good condition! That Sentinel is awesome.
