Question on 696 value

[kennymauser]

Hi, I have been a member for quite awhile, but for some reason I stayed away (too long by the way)! Now i am asking for some advice! I have a disabled friend that feels like he can no longer use his firearms and he has asked me to see if I could help him sell them. The one that I know you guys can help me with is his 696 44 Spec. It is a no dash model with the firing pin on the hammer. It is in very nice used shape and has the original box. Anyway, it has extras also like bone (real) grips plus the originals, and a complete set of El Paso leather. Shoulder holster, pancake holster,shell pouch and speed loader pouch.
The question I have is what is a good ball park figure for all of this stuff or just the pistol. I hate to try to sell stuff for friends and have to price stuff so far off what the market will bear. I don't know for sure if he has a bottom price, but I would like to be able to tell him if he is too high!! This has happened to me before.
I'm aware that the ones I see for sale are pretty high, but I would like to be able to make it easy on both of us.
I would appreciate any opinions you may have on what I should do!
Thanks for your help,
Ken
Now, I had better make sure my contact info is correct!!!

$900 ~ $1000 if it's a shooter, more if it's LNIB.

$850 and up for gun only. Hard to put a price on the leather.

I agree with Snapping Twig. Highly desirable model. As far as the rig and stuff, I'd say 50% to 70% current retail, and I would sell them separately. Trying to sell everything together will confuse the issue and limit the number of buyers.

Thanks for the quick replies. So far, I agree with all of you. I'm afraid he sometimes values his stuff too high and that really puts me in a hard position when he does that!!

Thanks for giving me some "real world" advice.

I agree with other posts. I bought one in the past year almost exactly as you describe...excellent with box, no leather...for just over $900, and felt I did ok.
