S&W Values

[Screech]

Over the last 40 years I have got some nice S&W revolvers. All are 44 Magnum. I want to sell some but have no idea what to ask for them.

The other guns I have obtained are all 45ACP pistols. One is a 4505 NIB. Many others.

How do I get the value/asking prices for these guns? Thank You, Randy

If you open an acct on gunbroker,you can look for prices that guns have sold for rather than asking prices.It will give you a good idea on real world pricing.

My suggestion is to ask individually, with complete model numbers and pictures, if possible. You will get many useful responses. Keep in mind that the value given by some might not be the actual amount the revolver would bring. Good luck.

The market it way up on guns in really nice condition. Even more so if you have the original box, papers, and tools. Guns in "shooter" condition are not fetching the high prices.

One way to get an idea of value is to go to an auction website like Gunbroker and check the prices that guns sold for. Not asking prices, but sell prices.

Agreed Gunbroker, as black deuce said check the condition of a particular model and it's designation, very important it makes a difference in collector value.

I also use this method as a tool only. Once you get a price in mind, you can post it for sale here. Who appreciates S&W guns more? Bob

If you want to get the most for your S&W revolvers collection get as much information about the revolver as you can and then search GunBroker sold revolvers of the same Model and dash number as suggested by other members because that is where you will get the most for them. Add into your description what you have extra like paperwork, box, tool kit, Etc. as that really adds to the price you will get. Post lots of high quality pictures of the revolver and offer a 3 day non firing inspection period.

Blue Book might give you an idea relative to other models but little else. Their valuations are absurdly low. I don't know where they come up with them.

Another vote for gunbroker.com

If you decide to sell them for blue book value, I want them all.
