No more than current retail, ~ $675-750. A new Gov is neither collectible, nor particularly valuable, and only appeals to a certain demographic. I happen to like the Gov, but haven't picked one up yet.

Around here, every store seems to have a Gov in stock, and prices are discounted. The used ones are hard to sell and the stores knock 1/3 off their price for a trade in. Hope it is better in FL.

I bought mine a couple months back for $600. It had fired three shells outside the factory and came with $30 worth of ammo.

Retail... maybe a little less if you don't already know the buyer because the buyer is taking your word that it is unfired.
